How to Prepare Your Thesis for Turnitin in Sri Lanka

Thesis submission is high-stakes. A private Turnitin workflow protects months of work from accidental repository indexing while you still meet faculty originality standards.

Eight-week checklist

1. Confirm your university’s similarity and AI policy in writing.
2. Standardise citation style (APA, Harvard, IEEE, etc.).
3. Scan chapter-by-chapter in No-Repository mode while drafting.
4. Fix continuous matches and missing quotes.
5. Rewrite AI-sounding sections with your data and voice.
6. Run a full-document private scan 1–2 weeks before deadline.
7. Share concerns with your supervisor early.
8. Submit only the final file via the official portal.

Reference lists and quotes

Bibliographies and correctly quoted material inflate raw percentages. Learn which exclude filters your faculty uses — but never rely on filters alone to hide uncited copying.
