Interpreting Scores A. Sentence Matching Scores:
Sentence matching scores are the percentage probability that two sentences have the same meaning. This number can also be interpreted as the reciprocal to the probability that these two sentences are similar by chance. For example, score of 90% means that there is 90% probability that these two sentences are the same, and about 10% probability that they are similar by chance (not because of copying).

Interpreting Scores B. Document Overall Matching Score:
The Overall Matching Score is an indicator of what percentage of the processed document is matching external sources. Note that this score should be treated as a warning indicator only. We strongly recommend reviewing all reports with high Overall Matching Scores. For analysis of matching scores, the following interpretation scale should be used:
![Page 27: Safe assignment](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54bd2ff04a79594d268b4578/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Interpreting Scores Scores below 15% — usually papers with such scores
contain some quotes and few "typical" phrases that match other documents. In most cases, they do not require any further analysis, and there is no evidence of plagiarism in such reports.
![Page 28: Safe assignment](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54bd2ff04a79594d268b4578/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Interpreting Scores Scores between 15% and 40% — papers with such scores
can contain plagiarism or just have very much quoted material. We usually recommend reviewing the reports with such scores before making any judgments about the papers.
![Page 29: Safe assignment](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54bd2ff04a79594d268b4578/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Interpreting Scores Scores over 40% — with such scores, there is a very high
probability that the paper contains some text copied from elsewhere, and, even if this text is properly cited, such amount of cited material is considered excessive in most cases.
