How do I fix the "Source details are no longer available" message in Turnitin?

The message "Source details are no longer available" appears when a matched source has been removed from Turnitin's content database. This typically happens when:

  • Web content that was originally matched has been removed from the internet.
  • A student paper or publication has been removed from the Turnitin database and is no longer searchable.

How to fix this issue

To clear the removed source and update your Similarity score, you must generate a new Similarity Report:

Note: Generating a new report takes approximately 5 minutes. Once ready, the new Similarity Report will automatically overwrite the previous one.
