Removing a source from a similarity report will 'recalculate' the similarity index without consideration to the removed source in question. This feature is useful when a paper has been submitted to Turnitin multiple times, and the originality report is reporting a high match (eg 100%) to the previous submission. Removing a source from a similarity report provides a clearer similarity index (percentage). 

Steps

  1. Open the assignment and click on the View all submissions button

  2. Click on the percentage to load the Turnitin Feedback Studio document viewer

  5. Select the sources you wish to exclude

  6. Click on the Exclude button to save your changes.
    The Exclude button is red with white text. It will include the number of sources that you are excluding.

Your report will then recalculate (excluding the sources you selected).
