A couple of queries about using Turnitin land in my inbox regularly so I thought a couple of short guides might be in order.

The first is a reminder of how to set Turnitin assignments so that they are checked for originality against the Web and journals but not submitted to the Turnitin database. This is particularly useful for formative work with students, but it is also useful to be able to set this option when student work may contain sensitive or confidential information. Setting submission to Turnitin repository to off.

The second guide covers managing the views you have of content matches in the originality reports. Whilst it is often the case that you only need to see the initial list of matching sources, sometimes, for example if there appears to be only one match, you may wish to ignore that match to view underlying sources. This is easy to do and can be done for single or multiple sources. Choosing to ignore matching sources.
