High originality report matches

Some academic teams allow multiple drafts to be submitted and sometimes that will mean that your Originality Score will be unusually high.

However, this is not something to be concerned about as your academic team will be able to review what sources your paper matched against and they can filter out any match that is against a piece of work you previously submitted.

Your academic team can use the Filter option to permit certain matches and the functionality is described here:
Managing exclusions and filters in the Similarity Report

You may wish to share this with your academic team if they are unaware.

Whilst it can cause anxiety to see a high similarity score, academic teams always make a judgement about the score before taking any action. It is however unnecessary to resubmit.
