TurnItIn is a service that matches text from student assignments against its extensive databases of current and archived internet content, student work previously have submitted to Turnitin, periodicals, journals, and publications. Turnitin produces a similarity report and a score (%) of matched text.

Turnitin is a text matching tool, not a plagiarism detection tool.
Turnitin provides a useful indicator to markers of the extent of matched text within a document, but it cannot determine what those matches mean. It is no replacement for academic knowledge and judgment in determining cases of academic misconduct/plagiarism.
...
Turnitin will check submitted work for text matches against its databases and produce a similarity report and score (%). When the similarity report is ready, the percentage score will show in the submissions table of the Moodle assignment. Clicking on the percentage score icon will open up the similarity report in Turnitin’s Feedback Studio. Here, you can review the similarity report and identify text matches and the source of those matches.
