a) Click on the option in the upper right margin "Profile> Sign In"

b) Choose "Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya"in the corresponding drop down menu.

Once the match percentage for each submission is activated, the receiver displays the following information:

a) Graph of the findings

Navigation graph showing the pages of the document with matches. Larger boxes correspond to text blocks with more or more similar words found in other sources.

Detection of 9 matching blocks that appear on pages 1 and 2 of the document

Activating each box, the matching block and the source of the match appear. The option is also offered See details with what you can:

• View the two contrasted blocks (from the analyzed document and the source)
• Know the percentage of matching text in each block
• Exclude the block from the analysis because it is not considered applicable (for example, in cases of correct quotations)
• Access the original source
• Jump to the previous or subsequent matching block

b) Findings

Section that allows access to the following benefits:

• Similar text: offers matching or similar blocks found (which can also be accessed by activating the details of the boxes shown above graphically).

• Warnings: shows abnormal use of characters or symbols to be checked (as possible attempts to hide plagiarism)
   

• View entire document: Displays the entire document with the matching blocks in orange, the right box of which shows the corresponding text of the matching font.

c) Similarity index

Graph showing the total percentage of similarity of the analyzed document, with respect to all the analyzed sources, as well as the average similarity of the recipient (corresponding to all the documents received so far).

Approximately an 91% of this document consists of text similar to the text found in 12 fonts. The largest brand has 243 words and is 83% similar to its primary source

Information about the archive object of analysis:

• Emitter
• Filename
• Date, time and identifier of the shipment
• Number of words
• Message sent by the issuer

When one is displayed coincident block or whole document, the system shows the possible citations and / or paraphrases in the following way:
 

• The words or phrases in the analyzed text that appear between quotation marks are shown in gray.

• If they are detected possible changes From the text of the font, the words that have been replaced or added are marked in yellow and those that have been deleted in red.
   

When one is displayed coincident block or whole document, the top tab “Fonts"Allows:
 

• Know the match rate of each source
• Know the type of source of comparison: magazine, web or academic work

The sources of analysis, from the Internet and / or the own database of URKUND, can be:

1. Main sources: with the highest percentage of coincidence.
2. Alternative sources: matching blocks from these alternate sources already appear in one of the main sources (for example, the same summary of a thesis that appears in UPCommons almost Dialnet).

If the reviewer considers it relevant, when viewing one coincident block or whole document, the top tab “Fonts"Allows you to deactivate the primary source and turn the alternate sources into primary ones (so that they appear in the analysis).
 

Since when analyzing a document it is the material for further comparisons, if a modification of the same work is sent the result of the corresponding analysis will have a very high percentage of coincidences. Therefore, in order to know the actual match percentage of the last submission, the sources corresponding to the previous versions must be excluded.
