Scores below 15% - These papers typically include some quotes and few common phrases or blocks of text that match other sources. They typically don't require further analysis, as there is little or no evidence of possible plagiarism.

Scores between 15% and 40% - These papers include extensive quoted and/or paraphrased material or they may include plagiarism. They should be reviewed to determine if the matching content is properly attributed.

Scores over 40% - There is a high probability that text in this paper was copied from other sources. It should be reviewed for plagiarism.
