Suggest the acceptable limits of similarity to publish an article?
Which tool is better to check the similarity in a document.
Normally, you paraphrase and use your own sentences if you want reduce similarity in a document.
Although its depends on the amount of similarity per a block, journal and software use, but similarity of 6 -15% should be limit for an article.
And I do not know any tool better than turn-it in now.
It is not good to have a large similar text, as published before in another article. Most journal didn't accept that, but if you use some part of your ouw text you must mention it - you have to point where/in which journal you have that text printed. In some cases you can republish your text - for example - if you have published it bevore in a language, which is rare and the second time you publish it in English. There is quet different users and the journal will understand. You can also cite some data, received in an experiment, but you have to cite it and after that make another interpretation of that data.
You can run your documents through plagiarism check softwares such as Turnitin and Unicheck. Most publication accepts 10% similarity index excluding the references.
Free softwares are not giving accurate similarity index .If you want to publish your article in any good journal scopus/scie then use turnitin/ Ithenticate as both are best option.
