How to Choose the Right Turnitin Package for Your Research Needs

Categories: Education

TL;DR — Quick Picks

  • Draft in progress / multiple edits? Choose Non-Repository + 2 scans (initial + re-check).
  • Final submission required by your university/journal? Choose Repository (usually 1 scan).
  • Tight deadline? Add Express turnaround.
  • High similarity? Add Fix-First Plan (and if needed, Structure-Level Rewriting) before your re-check.

Step 1 — Decide Repository Mode First

Non-Repository (recommended while revising)

  • Your draft is not stored in the database → no self-matches on future scans.
  • Best for theses/journal manuscripts undergoing multiple edits.

Repository (final only)

  • Your paper is stored as the record.
  • Choose when your institution requires a final repository submit.

Step 2 — Choose the Number of Scans

  • Single Scan — You’re confident about originality and at/near final.
  • Two Scans (Most Popular) — Initial scan + Re-check after edits; ideal for theses/journals.
  • Three Scans — For complex projects with staged submissions (proposal → main study → final).

Pro tip: If you’re still revising, always do Non-Repo Scan(s) first, then Repo at the very end if needed.

Step 3 — Pick Turnaround (Be Honest About Your Deadline)

  • Express: Same-day for typical files (≤5k words, clean DOCX).
  • Standard: Within 24 hours for most manuscripts.
  • Extended: For theses (>20k words), scanned PDFs, heavy tables/figures.

Step 4 — Add the Right Support (Only What You Need)

  • Fix-First Plan (Recommended): We read your report and mark what to fix first (top sources, long blocks, exact paragraphs).
  • Structure-Level Rewriting: We reduce real overlaps without changing meaning (change clause order, merge/split, passive↔active), retain citations.
  • Non-Repository Re-check: Verify the similarity drop after edits.
  • Citation Hygiene: APA/MLA/Chicago/IEEE clean-up (no fabricated refs).
  • AI-Tone Humanization (optional): If you drafted with AI, we normalize cadence to reduce AI-style signals.

Decision Tree (1-Minute Choice)

  1. Are you still revising?
    → Yes → Choose Non-Repository.
    → No → Jump to 2.
  2. Do you need the file stored as final?
    → Yes → Repository.
    → No/Unsure → Start with Non-Repository, switch to Repo only for final.
  3. Do you expect edits after the first report?
    → Yes → Buy 2 scans (scan + re-check).
    → No → 1 scan.
  4. Deadline tight?
    → Yes → Add Express.
  5. Similarity likely high / you used lots of sources / or AI early?
    → Add Fix-First Plan (and Structure-Level Rewriting if needed).

How to Use the Report (So Your % Actually Drops)

  1. Apply allowed exclusions: references, quotes, small matches → remove “noise.”
  2. Sort by top sources: the few sources causing most of the % are your fastest wins.
  3. Rewrite at structure level:
    • Change clause order, merge/split, flip passive↔active, shift cause↔effect.
    • Keep the same claim and retain citations.
      Bad: “Satisfaction happens when perceived performance equals or exceeds expectations.”
      Good: “We treat satisfaction as a comparison between what users expect and what they actually experience (Author, Year). Our analysis focuses on the size of that gap.”
  4. Balance sources: 2–4 citations per paragraph; stop mirroring one paper.
  5. Trim quotes: keep <10% overall; paraphrase tightly with attribution.
  6. Re-scan (Non-Repository) to confirm the drop without self-matches.

FAQs

Non-repository vs repository—what’s the difference?
Non-Repo doesn’t store your draft → perfect for revisions. Repo stores the final version if required by your institution.

How many scans do I need?
If you’ll edit after seeing the report, get 2 scans (initial + re-check). If you’re final, 1 may be enough.

Can you guarantee a specific %?
No honest provider should. We guarantee official reports and ethical methods; reductions come from real rewriting and correct citations.

Why is Turnitin higher than Grammarly/free tools?
Turnitin checks student repositories + academic databases that free tools don’t.

How fast can I get it?
Short clean DOCX files: same-day (Express) or within 24h (Standard). Theses/scanned PDFs may need longer.
