Draft submissions
The Turnitin paper ID for the Investigation File excludes any drafts for that particular assignment in the report. Therefore, if I am interested in viewing the drafts of the Investigation file, I need to create a report using an ID for a assignment which isn't suspicious. Is there any possibility, the algorithms can be altered to include all drafts?

Aysen Mustafa We include every file that has ever been submitted to Turnitin (with a maximum of 100 files) in the authorship report if they select all of the files. We exclude drafts in the prediction algorithm because they typically contain the exact same text (except for slight alterations) as the final draft. This would negatively affect our predictions as we would be using the same text multiple times to get a better understanding of the author's style which doesn't make sense for us to do. I hope this helps!
