1. One document submission = 25,000 words. A document consisting of 25,0001+ words will count as two submissions. If possible remove title page and reference lists before uploading your manuscript.
2. Use filters to fine tune reports. You can filter out:
   1. Specific phrases
   2. Bibliographies and reference lists
   3. Text in quotations
3. Wait until you've finished writing and upload your final draft. Each time you revise a paper and resubmit, it will count as an additional new submission.

Our iThenticate subscription authorizes a limited number of submissions. Please be judicious and limit your use of iThenticate to one submission for each of the following projects:

• Qualifying exams
• Manuscripts for publication
• Theses
• Grant proposals

Each submission will generate a "Similarity Report" which highlights text that matches previously-published materials. Use this report as a guideline.

It is up to you to determine whether or not the similarity constitutes plagiarism and to make any necessary revisions to your manuscript.
