   2. Exclude Bibliography
   3. Exclude Phrases
   4. Exclude Small Matches
   5. Exclude Small Sources
   6. Exclude Sections (Abstract or Methods and Materials)
5. Select the search repositories the folder documents should be searched against when generating the Originality Reports from the “Limit searches to these repositories” option:
   1. CrossCheck
   2. Internet
   3. Publications
   4. There may be additional search options available in iThenticate accounts such as ProQuest or a private repository.

Folder settings may be updated at any time. If reports exist in a folder before the folder’s settings are updated the generated reports will not be affected by the new folder settings.
