Display a SourceCheck review

When you submit a composition assignment or personal document to SourceCheck for an originality check, the resulting report shows:

• The percentage of matching content that was found
• The found content
• Addresses of websites where the matching content was found

You can then double-check that you have cited any quoted or copied content.

The turnaround time from submission to report is typically 24 hours. But you can check to see if the report is completed whenever and as often as you like.

• When you have not yet submitted the composition to the instructor, you can display the review comments from the Home page or from the composing space (see the procedure below). You can also use this procedure to review a SourceCheck report on a personal document.
• Once you submit the assignment to the instructor, the reviews are saved in the draft history. See review comments and draft histories for more information.

To display a SourceCheck review on a document you have not submitted to the instructor:

From the Home page:

1. Click the Home tab.
2. Click New Reviews Available under Reviews.

   If the number of New Reviews Available is None, display the report from the composing space.

   A window opens displaying a list of the assignments and documents with reviews that you have not yet displayed.

3. Click the Writing title of the assignment or document for which you want to display the SourceCheck review.

   The MyLab opens a separate window and displays the review.

From the composing space:

1. Click the To Do tab.
2. Do one of the following:
   • For a SourceCheck review on an assignment, expand the Due list of My Assignments.
   • For a report on a personal document, expand the My Personal Documents list.
3. Click the title of the assignment or document you sent to SourceCheck.

   The assignment or document opens in the composing space.

4. Click Check Sources under Research in the Writer's Toolkit.

   The Submission History dialog box opens. When a report is ready, the Reports column displays the View Report link. You can submit an assignment or personal document more than once, and the table lists each submission.

5. Click the View Report link to display the report.

The SourceCheck review

The SourceCheck review has two parts: Sourcelist and Report.

The Sourcelist shows the Total score, which is the total percentage of content for which SourceCheck found similar content. The Sourcelist also displays the percentages of content for which it found similar content and the website address of the found content.

The Report shows the content that you submitted. For any content that SourceCheck found the same or similar content, the report shows the original text in the Submitted column and the similar text in the Found column.

To print the report, click the Print button.
