Source cards
The top row indicates the top matching source ranking number (this number also appears next to the corresponding highlighted match in the document), the database type, and the match group criteria.
The second row contains the name of the top matching source and the percentage matched with the document.
The third row indicates the number of matching text blocks to that source and match group, as well as a total word count for all matches with the same criteria.
Exploring a source card
To view more details and actions, expand the source card by selecting either:
-
A highlighted match in the document
-
A source card in the right-side panel
Navigating multiple matches in one source card
When there are more than one match to a single source within a match group, you can skip to each one in the document using the < and > arrows inside the source card.
What are overlapping sources?
It is possible that similar text can be found within multiple sources. When text is similar to more than one source, whichever source has the most matched words will display first.
When multiple sources are found matching the same exact words, the report will prioritize sources as best match, or top source, in this order:
- Internet
- Publications
- Submitted Works (student papers)
To reveal overlapping sources matched to the same text, choose the submission highlight or source card with the match in question, then select View other sources at the bottom of the card in the right-side panel:
To display individual cards for each matched source (including sources matched to the same text), select the Show overlapping sources option at the top of the Source list. Selecting a source card will highlight the matching text in the submission:
