Understanding Drillbit Plagiarism Report:
Everything a Scholar needs to Know
The first page of the DrillBit report can be divided into three sections:
1. Submission Information (in the top one-third of the page)
The Submission Information section provides key details like the author’s name, title of the document, submission ID, submitted by, submission date, document type, total page and word count, and document type, offering an overview of the document’s essentials.
Below is an example of Submission Information for the Drillbit report:
2. Result Information (middle one-third of the page)
The Result Information section includes the similarity score, which is 16% in this picture, along with a breakdown of Source Type showing similarity primarily with sources (journal publications, student paper and internet sources, etc. with their percentage) and Report Content showing similarity primarily with contents (quotes and words with their percentage), indicating level of similarity according to these parameters.
3. Exclusion Information (in the bottom one-third of the page).
Finally, the Exclusion Information section explains that elements like quotes, references/bibliography were included in the similarity check, as well as smaller matches, contributing to the score. The user has the ability to exclude sources referencing his/her own work if permitted by the supervisor.
This section also contains a unique QR code that opens a URL, providing a quick access point for report verification or sharing. (We have masked some points in the picture to protect personal information.)
