Help Center: Excluding Sources from an Originality Report
Instructors have the ability to exclude sources from Originality Reports on a source by source basis. This is to enable the instructor to see what additional sources exist for a paper and how those sources fit with other sources. This also enables instructors to see sources that may be covered by sources that contain 100% matches to the paper.
