The reference list is the only part of the assessment that does not count towards the final word count. Everything else does count.
Turnitin
You will find this in the uploads link where you submitted your work. It sometimes take a little bit of time but you should see a % score appear beside your submission that you can click to access your similarity report.
If you are having a problem submitting your file please check that it is a microsoft word file that is being submitted (that is the only file type that will be accepted). If the problem persists please submit an IT help request - this can be found via your MyGlasgow home page.
The Turnitin % Score is not looked at by staff. Staff will review the turnitin report itself. If the highlighted sections are mainly your reference list this would not be looked at further. If sections of your text are being highlighted by Turnitin as similar (same colour in the Turnitin report) then that will be investigated further by staff.
