Note: The matching text
indices do not reflect Turnitin's assessment of whether a paper
has or has not been plagiarized. Originality reports are simply
tools to help you find sources that contain text similar to submitted
papers.
The decision to deem any work "plagiarized" must be made carefully, and only after careful examination of
both the submitted paper and the suspect sources.
