Then perform the turnitin again to get the similarity check report and the percentage. Several resources that can help you to produce a high-quality thesis are introduced below for your reference.
Then self-check whether your thesis meets all the requirements listed on the POD Checklist and sign the list. For the POD Checklist, here is an example.
