The PDF version of the Similarity Report
The PDF version of the Similarity Report contains three sections.
Cover Page
The first section is the Cover Page. This contains the title of the submission, the author name, and the Document Details of the submission. These details include:
- Submission ID
- Submission Date
- Download Date
- File Name
- File Size
It also contains a breakdown of the pages, words, and characters of the submission.
The page number refers to the amount of pages of the submission not including the Cover Page and the Integrity Overview.
Integrity Overview
The second section is the Integrity Overview. Split over multiple pages, the first page contains the overall similarity of the submission along with details of the match groups, a breakdown of the types of source making up the top sources, and any integrity flags found. The pages beyond that contain a list of all the top sources and the % of similarity found for them in the submission.
Submission
The rest of the PDF contains the submission. The similarity highlighting will be present on the submission text and can be cross referenced to the sources in the Integrity Overview section.
