Figure 1: Turnitin assignment settings
Missouri Online recommends the following Turnitin settings:
Store submissions in:
- Choose Do not store the submitted papers for draft writing assignments.
- Choose Institution Paper Repository for final drafts or papers without multiple drafts.
This setting is useful in classes where multiple drafts are graded separately.
Compare submissions against:
- ✓ Student repository — papers collected by Turnitin globally.
- ✓ Institutional repository — papers collected in the UM System (no MU content is stored globally)
- ✓ Website content — open webpages (but not pages behind paywalls).
- ✓ Periodicals, journals and publications — many journal periodical databases and books.
These settings control the sources used for similarity checking. Turning any of them off will lessen the value of the report.
Similarity Report:
- ✓ Exclude bibliographic materials — prevents matches on bibliographies. Disable if the assignment includes an annotated bibliography or is only a bibliography.
- ✓ Exclude quoted materials — assumes that all materials in quotation marks and properly formatted block quotes are not plagiarized.
- ✓ Enable Translated Matching — see: https://help.turnitin.com/feedback-studio/turnitin-website/administrator/customizing-account-settings/enabling-translated-matching.htm
- ✓ Exclude small sources — is used to exclude common phrases. Do not set to more than 10 words or 1%.
These are filters used to fine tune reports. With the exception of Translated Matching, you can turn them on or off in individual reports.
