- Step 2 (non-graded): Preview Draft Paper to observe and correct Turnitin Matching Index percentage
Your paper is automatically submitted to Turnitin to permit you to observe and correct your Turnitin
Matching Percentage as you preview your draft paper. You are permitted one ungraded submittal to
Turnitin to preview your initial Percentage. This preview Turnitin site will open on the same date as the
official draft submittal opening date. If your preview score exceeds 24%, check the report to confirm
where copied words and phrases are causing you to exceed the value. Then, correct your original
document by summarizing or paraphrasing these words/phrases into your own words. Work with the
Student Learning Center (SLC) or Writing Lab if you need assistance. This will reduce the copied
material and the Matching Percentage prior to the official submittal in your research paper draft
assignment. When completed, proceed to Step 3 and submit your corrected/updated draft before the due
date. You will be allowed two (2) attempts to submit this assignment. Your Turnitin score will exclude
matches from properly quoted phrases and reference lists. Please review your Turnitin report after your
first attempt. If the report indicates a score higher than 24%, you will need to reword, summarize,
paraphrase, or eliminate the highlighted phrases to improve it to an acceptable level and then resubmit
your revised paper prior to due date.

After eliminating excessive copied content identified in Step 2, Turnitin will again be used to check for
originality when you submit the draft of your research paper. The draft should represent about 80% of the
final paper. Material for all sections must be addressed. You will be allowed two (2) attempts to submit
this assignment. Your Turnitin score will exclude matches from properly quoted phrases and reference
lists. Please review your Turnitin report after your first attempt. If the report indicates a score higher than
24%, you will need to reword, summarize, paraphrase, or eliminate the highlighted phrases to improve it
to an acceptable level and then resubmit your revised paper prior to due date.
