Bibliography and Quote Exclusion Definitions
Bibliography exclusion
Turnitin's machine learning algorithm understands what elements of the paper to exclude from a submission and dynamically removes them from the Similarity Report. Users don't need to specify a specific bibliography section of their paper; we'll do that for you!
Note: Beginning and terminating phrases are still used as a fall back in the rare even of our machine-learning algorithm is unavailable at the time of submission. You can resubmit your paper at a later date to take advantage of this advanced exclusion option.
Quote exclusion
Supported marks
Turnitin will disregard any matches that use the following quotation marks:
|
"..." |
«...» | »...« | „…“ | 《...》 | 〈...〉 | 『...』 |
Unsupported marks
Turnitin will not disregard matches using single quotation marks.
'...'
Note: Turnitin does not exclude quotes between quotes. For example: "This text would be excluded 〈but this text would not be excluded〉 and then this text would also be excluded."
Block quotations
Turnitin will exclude block quotation (an indented block of text) when the original file is a .doc or .docx file.
