The similarity score is a tool used to compare the text in a document with sources in a comparison database to identify potential problem areas, such as plagiarism. A good score to aim for is between 15-20%, but the breakdown of the percentage is also important to consider. A score above 25% could indicate plagiarism or the use of direct quotes with a long bibliography. However, even a score of 1% could potentially be considered plagiarized. The color of the similarity score is based on the amount of matching text in a document. Sabermetrics and basketball analytics also use similarity scores to compare players to others. Turnitin is a widely used tool to calculate similarity scores for academic purposes.
