How To Retrieve a TurnItIn Report
Avoid copy-and-paste and unnecessary quotations.
You should use quotations only when the same idea cannot be stated differently or when doing so would diminish its academic value. The latter is not applicable in our case and the former is rarely needed.
Use paraphrasing instead of quoting.
Provide, when paraphrasing, in-text citations and references in the APA writing format.
See the following links for specific information on how to provide in-text citations and references.
