A note about Turnitin "similarity index"!
Do not pay too much attention to the similarity percentage. It is a relative number and it does not tell relevance of found similarities. Similarities need to be interpreted in their context.
More detailed explanation:
In the Turnitin similarity report, matches show up as colored
- small spots here and there -> No need to react at this point
- bigger chunks in the middle of the text -> Are they properly marked quotations? Are they justified? If not, take a closer look before assessing the paper.
- bigger chunks in the bibliography -> No need to react at this point
- overall similarity index percentage is over 25% -> browse through the originality check report more carefully. But remember, the similarity index is a relative number - it is just a signal to you to check whether everything is ok
- small spots here and there -> No need to react at this point
