What does it mean to exclude quotes and exclude bibliography?

You’ll notice that your results include buttons at the top right that say “exclude quotes” and “exclude bibliography.” These options allow you to see the results without including a check for quoted or bibliographic materials that match other sources. Note that the paper’s cited material cannot be excluded directly and quotations can be excluded only if block-indentation or direct quotation marks (“”) begin and end the quotation.
