Quick Instructions for Teachers
- For a quick check, upload the paper you want to check by selecting the Quick Submit tab (video instructions).
- If you want your students to submit papers for checking, create a class (Class/section ID) and an assignment (Assignment) with appropriate settings where students can submit papers.

- Under Generate Similarity Reports for student submission, select when to start generating reports:
- If the option Immediately first report is final is enabled, and a student can submit the assignment only once, the report is generated immediately after submission.
- The Immediately (can overwrite reports until due date) option allows students to submit the assignment multiple times, but after the third submission, they must wait 24 hours before submitting again, and a new report is generated for each subsequent submission, replacing the previous one.
- The On due date option allows generating the report only after the assignment due date has passed.
- If you do not want to store the paper in any of the available repositories, select the "no repository" option during setup. Save the Paper ID of each document you have uploaded to the software or that your students have submitted. This information is important in case you need to permanently delete each individual paper.

Within the appropriate course and assignment, submit the paper you want to check. You can submit your paper by clicking the Submit button next to each assignment on the list (subsection 4.1 Instructions).
Report on Potential Plagiarism (video instructions)
Once the report is generated and ready for review, the percentage of potential plagiarism found during comparison will appear. It will be followed by a color indicating a lower or higher degree of plagiarism according to the default parameters used by the software. Each color represents a range on a scale of five levels:
- Blue: No matches found for the paper
- Green: One word to 24% of matching text found
- Yellow: 25-49% of matching text found
- Orange: 50-74% of matching text found
- Red: 75-100% of matching text found
Note: documents marked in red are not necessarily plagiarism.
The percentage of potential plagiarism with the corresponding color is a tool indicating how thoroughly the paper needs to be independently analyzed to understand the context of the identified matches.
- By clicking on the Match overview icon, all matches found in the document will be highlighted with various colors.
- For a detailed review of each of the matches, press the right arrow next to the corresponding percentage. The Match Breakdown will appear, showing all sources where the match was found.
- All Sources: Display of all sources where matches were found. By selecting an individual source, you can quickly view the matching text, navigate between matches found in that source, and view side-by-side comparison. Sources can be excluded from the report by selecting the Exclude sources button at the bottom. A checkbox will appear next to each source, which you can mark, and by clicking the now red Exclude button, confirm the exclusion of selected sources.
- Filters and Settings: Selection of filters and settings within the report. By checking the boxes next to the options provided, you can exclude quotes (Exclude Quotes) and bibliography lists (Exclude Bibliography). Additionally, by entering the number of words or percentage, it is possible to subsequently ignore fewer sources within the report. Changes can be applied to the existing report (by clicking the Apply Changes button) or create a new report containing these changes (by clicking the New Report button). Under optional settings, there is an option to enable/disable the marking of matches with various colors (by checking or unchecking the checkbox next to the Multi-Color Highlighting option).
- Exclude Sources: Display of all previously excluded sources. Sources can be re-enabled by checking the checkbox and clicking the Restore button. If you want to re-enable all previously excluded sources at once, select the Restore All option. From the report viewing interface, by clicking the Download icon, it is possible to download several documents to your computer: report in document format (Current View), digital receipt confirming that the specified document was uploaded to the Turnitin software (Digital Receipt), and the original document uploaded to the software (Originally Submitted File).

The Academic ID-Card Management System (ISAK) enables student identification through the student ID card, the official document for students in the Republic of Croatia. Erasmus students can request the students ID card at the IT Office. In case of loss or damage to the student ID card, you can request a new card also at the IT Office.
Students can easily check their data in the Student Rights Information System (ISSP), download an electronic record of their student status, verify their student rights, the amount of subsidy, their meal accounts in student restaurants, and their right to student employment. The ISSP System records and monitors student rights per the applicable regulations and acts of the Ministry of Science and Education and the higher education institutions where students study.
The Academic ID-cards Management System (ISAK) monitors the life cycle of academic cards. These cards are intended to identify and exercise the rights of ISSP end users.
Both of these systems have a common entry point, the ISSP portal, which contains all the information needed by the users of these systems. Users of the portal are students, authorised employees of higher education institutions, administrators of student catering restaurants, authorised employees of the Ministry of Science and Education and user support providers.
By logging into the portal, students can quickly check their data in the ISSP, download the electronic record of their student status, check student rights, the subsidy amount, their meal bills in student restaurants and the right to work as a student.
Restaurants have at their disposal a system that includes reports, cash register administration and data on employees. The restaurant app and restaurant API are also linked there. In addition to restaurants providing student food services that use the Srce restaurant application, some of the restaurants in the system also use their application solutions via the restaurant API.
