I am writing a paper and I am getting plagirism around 14 percent in my main varaibles. eg one of my varaibles is green human resource management (GHRM) and i am getting similarity mostly in this term wherever I have used it in my paper whether in short form or full form. how can I avoid plagirism in this part as I cant avoid mentioning it.
Hello. Usually, it is up to the journal you want to deal with to control that percentage. I have sent to journals accepting 15% and less. But also, dealing with journals asking for 5%. It is strange that only the mention of the words will raise the similarity so much in your case!!
A score around 5% is reasonable, might be implying your reasearch is novel. However it should be noted that no consensus or absolute cutoff on what percentage of plagiarism is acceptable in a manuscript. Generally speaking, plagiarism checking results below 15% is acceptable by the journals, but when the similarity results show a percentage of >25%, it is considered as high percentage of plagiarism
Plagiarism checkers match strings of words in a document with other strings in other texts. Because some phrases (e.g., green human resource management) are very common, many plagiarism checkers will flag matches that are actually mere coincidence. Plagiarism checkers should be used with human judgment and discretion.
Nevertheless Harshit Gupta there are journals that continue to stick to the policy of 5% or less.
It could be upto less than 10 percent, which is allowed. However, it is always recommended to have less than 5 percent plagrism in your research paper.
The ideal practice and recommended journal acceptance criteria is to keep plagiarism less than 15%, including references, headings, and titles.
It's up to the journal to decide, but around 20% is most likely acceptable Talia Nabi
