File requirements for your submissions

Note: Please set the font to "PMingLiU 新細明體" for your Chinese assignment to avoid errors and missing characters in the report, which can affect the similarity rate.

Turnitin will only accept files that can generate Similarity Reports. This includes:

Files less than 100MB
Files with a minimum of 20 words
File with less than 800 pages
Microsoft Word (.doc and .docx)
Corel WordPerfect
HTML
Adobe PostScript
Plain text (.txt)
Rich Text Format (.rtf)
Portable Document Format (.pdf)
- Turnitin will not accept PDF image files, forms, or portfolios, files that do not contain highlightable text (e.g. a scanned file - usually an image), documents containing multiple files or files created with software other than Adobe Acrobat.
- To determine if a document contains actual text, copy and paste a section or all of the text into a plain-text editor such as Microsoft Notepad or Apple TextEdit. If no text is copied over, the selection is not actual text.
OpenOffice (.odt)
Hangul (.hwp)
PowerPoint (.pptx)
- Turnitin converts the PowerPoint slides into a static PDF, leaving all text and images in their original format but leaving out features such as presenter notes, embedded video, and animations.
- However, text with visual effects is not supported. It is recommended that any visual effects such as shadows and 3D be removed prior to submitting to Turnitin.
Google Docs via Google Drive
- If submitting with Google Drive, third-party cookies must be allowed in your browser, otherwise, any attempts to sign into Google to upload from Google Drive will fail.
- Do not upload Google Doc (.gdoc) files directly as the file does not store the document, but contains a reference to it online, in Google Docs.

If you are using an unsupported word processor, you may need to save your plain text file as .txt or .rtf in order to upload to Turnitin.

Turnitin will not accept file with the following to generate Similarity Reports:

Password protected files
Microsoft Works (.wps) files
Microsoft Word 2007 macros-enabled files(.docm )
OpenOffice Text (.odt) files created and downloaded from Google Docs online
Document (.doc) files created using OpenOffice
Apple Pages
Spreadsheets created outside of Microsoft Excel (e.g., .ods)
Text with visual effects
