Understanding the Plagiarism report for reducing the similarity index

Plagiarism Removal provides its customers the means to submit Word documents (*.DOC, *DOCX, and *.RTF) and check its similarity index. The similarity index is the percentage of the document content that contains plagiarized (or copied) material. For example, if the similarity index is 50%, it means that 50% of the word count in the submitted document has been plagiarized. A similarity index of 15% (or less) is good, as every research document uses industry-specific terms and jargons that cannot be replaced.

Customers can specify their personal details and word count in the following fields, before requesting for a plagiarism check.

Based on the value of the submitted word count, the targeted match percentage, and the plagiarism percentage, the form displays the total number of words that need to rewritten, based on the calculations provided in the following table:

Plagiarism percentage Percentage of content to be rewritten
Less than 35% 50% of the content
35 to 60% 75% of the content
More than 60% Entire document to be rewritten

 

Example, if the attached thesis contains 30,000 words and has a plagiarism percentage of 35%, 50% of the document (or 15000 words) will be replaced or rewritten, to reduce the similarity index to 15% or less.
