Originality Reports

Originality Reports provide a way for teachers and students to quickly check for missing citations using the power of Search.

• Teachers automatically receive an originality report for each student file submitted, so they can:
• Confirm originality right in the grading interface
• Save time by not having to search for web matches manually
• Choose which projects to use with originality reports
• Cross-reference content from across the web. With a single search, originality reports compare student work against hundreds of billions of web pages and tens of millions of books stored in the Search index.
