Viewing Matches with Source Cards

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:

  1. Internet
  2. Publications
  3. 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:
