[ARCHIVED] Re-check Vericite report?

[kmcgrath]

I forgot to mark "exclude self-plagiarism" on my final paper assignment, and now Vericite recognizes their first drafts and final papers are showing as 90-100% plagiarized.  I updated the assignment to exclude self-plagiarism, but no luck...  Can I force a Vericite re-check?  Thanks for any ideas!

Hi @Kimzey McGrath,

You faced this issue, as the third-party plagiarism checking tools usually store data (submitted papers) in private libraries of the universities. Thus, if you have submitted your paper for the check through the plagiarism detection tool at least once, it will detect it as plagiarism during the next checks. 

Usually, to avoid such cases, teachers provide students with pre-check attempts. Still, this can be set up only by a teacher and done in advance. 

In any case, I recommend contacting the Canvas Admin, your teacher, or the Support Team of Vericite to learn more.

Hi, Alisia -  I am the teacher.  Any suggestions in that light?  Thanks!

Dear Kimzey,

I am sorry for this misunderstanding.

The plagiarism detection checkers differ much, even if they have similar features.

I am not acquainted with the system of Vericite. Thus, it is hard for me to suggest anything.

I recommend getting in touch with the Support Team of Vericite or Turnitin (Vericite is the part of Turnitin).

They should provide you with the exact guidelines on whether it is possible to remove the paper from the library or how to check the assignment properly in your case.
