  1. How will you know if it was flagged for plagiarism or not?

  2. Hi Kari, You will see a Similarity Score which tells you how close your work is to texts in Turnitin's database. The score may include quotations you have included in your paper, which if cited properly are fine. What you want to watch out for are large blocks of text that are highlighted in the similarity score as a match to another source. I hope this helps! Katharine
