SCI repetition rate of 25% will be rejected, and the duplicate checking rate required by most journals is about 10%-20%. If you want to submit top journals, it will be more difficult, and the duplicate checking rate will be reduced to 5%- 10%. When the duplicate checking rate of SCI papers is higher than 30%, even higher than 50%, it must be carefully revised to avoid rejection due to plagiarism.
SCI is a database containing high-impact academic journals in the fields of science, technology and medicine around the world, which is maintained and published by Keruiweian, a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters.
SCI duplicate checking rate is not a general concept and may be misunderstood. Generally speaking, SCI database is mainly used to record information such as citation and influencing factors of academic papers, and does not involve duplicate checking rate. Duplicate checking rate usually refers to the percentage of similarity between an academic paper or other texts and other existing texts detected by text duplicate checking software. This is usually used to prevent plagiarism and ensure academic integrity.
Usually, journals will use special text duplication checking tools to detect the similarity between papers and other existing documents. The duplicate checking rate will be expressed as a percentage, which shows the similarity between your paper and other existing documents. Due to the citation, text in the field and other factors, the duplicate checking rate may be different. Generally speaking, academic journals will set a certain threshold of duplicate checking rate, which may lead to papers being rejected or required to be revised.
How to reduce the repetition rate of SCI papers
1, using the double-check tool method.
You can use Turnitin official website to check your own articles. International version of 4 yuan/Thousand Words, British version of 6 yuan/Thousand Words, can quickly detect the repetition rate of articles, which is convenient to modify in advance. You can also use a rewriting tool, such as a retelling tool. You can rewrite the paper in a few seconds simply by inputting or copying and pasting the content into a text box, and there is no word limit. Grammarly can be selected as a grammar checking tool. The free version can correct at most 100 grammatical errors. Its functions include not only grammar correction, punctuation correction, but also vocabulary replacement.
2. Methods to reduce similarity
When revising, pay more attention to whether the materials and methods in the article are duplicate with the published content. You can refer to the innovation, keep the core content, replace it with synonyms or phrases, adjust the structure, and express the borrowed content in your own way of thinking and language.
3, reference the correct format of the method
The correct structure quoted in the article should not be sloppy. After the paper is completed, it is necessary to carefully check whether it is cited in the correct paper citation format, which is embodied in the reference format and citation method. It can ensure that peer-reviewed editors can make clear the citation sources of articles and avoid being judged as academic misconduct.
4, the method of text into a chart
Converting text into tables is an effective way, because the detection system is mainly text, and converting text into charts will reduce the duplicate checking rate of papers.
5. English-Chinese translation methods
English with high repetition rate is translated into Chinese by translation software, and then translated into English synonyms or synonyms by software. On this basis, researchers can manually correct grammatical errors.
When conducting academic research and publishing SCI papers, we must pay attention to whether the repetition rate of our articles is too high, and actively adopt reasonable methods to reduce the repetition rate of articles, and constantly improve our academic level and literature retrieval ability, so as not to affect our academic reputation because of the high repetition rate.
