Hello everyone
I have written a systematic review, but the plagiarism checker, keep indicating that I have plagiarized the keywords. for example the phrase "TITLE-ABS-KEY" which is a search term for the Scopus is getting flagged as plagiarism.
Can I change it to a figure? so it won't make me a problem?
It is unlikely that changing "TITLE-ABS-KEY" to a figure will solve the issue with plagiarism. The phrase "TITLE-ABS-KEY" is a common search term used in academic literature to refer to specific sections of a publication such as the title, abstract, and keywords. It is possible that the plagiarism checker is flagging this phrase as it is commonly used and appears in many different publications.
Instead of changing "TITLE-ABS-KEY" to a figure, you could consider paraphrasing the text or rewording the phrase to make it more unique to your review. Additionally, you could check if there are other phrases or terms that are being flagged for plagiarism and address them individually. It is important to make sure your review is original and does not contain any plagiarized content.
Dear Dr. Ajit Singh
Thank you for your answer, mostly phrases when I am trying to define a term is getting flagged as plagiarism. Such as PRISMA, search terms for databases, or technical terms
It is common for phrases that are common in a specific field, such as search terms for databases or technical terms, to be flagged as plagiarism by automated plagiarism checkers. However, it is typically not considered plagiarism if these phrases are used in a way that is considered common knowledge within the research community.
To avoid issues with plagiarism checkers, it may be helpful to put common field-specific phrases in quotes, indicating that they are a direct quote or a commonly used term. Alternatively, you can paraphrase the phrases in your own words to avoid direct copying.
It may also be helpful to include citations when using technical or field-specific terms, especially if you are unsure of their origin or if they are not commonly known outside of the field. This can help to demonstrate that you are not attempting to pass off someone else's work or ideas as your own.
