Unintentional Plagiarism
Most universities use plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin or SafeAssign to check your work against other sources, including academic databases, websites, and papers previously submitted by other students. These tools help to identify areas of overlap between your paper and existing works. They generate a report detailing the percentage of your content that matches existing sources, known as similarity score or index. When you run your final draft through plagiarism detection software, you will always get some texts and sentences that match other existing works despite your best efforts at paraphrasing and synthesizing content from original sources. This is not a problem provided that your similarity index is less than 10%. If the plagiarism score of your paper is higher than this, you will need to do plagiarism removal.
Generally, a score of less than 10% can represent and is widely considered plagiarism-free work. However, regulations and requirements differ between universities. Some universities allow up to 30% similarity index in longer papers, such as theses and dissertations. This is because the plagiarism detection tool will flag similarities in items such as title page, table of contents, some headings (like problem statement, research questions, or definition of key terms), direction quotations, in-text citations, and standard phrases. If your paper exceeds the plagiarism score allowed by your university, you will need to rewrite and paraphrase the affected content to lower the similarity index.

How Much Will It Cost?
Generally, the cost of removing plagiarism is calculated based on the similarity index of your work. For instance, if you have a 100-page dissertation (excluding the preliminary pages, references, and appendices) with a similarity score of 35%, we will charge the amount for rewriting 30 pages (0.3*100). The prices for rewriting are indicated on the pricing page. If you don’t have a plagiarism score, we can generate a Turnitin report for you.
