Usually, red and orange fonts indicate that the contents are repeated, reminding you that these need to be revised, and green fonts indicate that they are qualified and no duplication has been found.
Green: the original part, indicating that no similar sentence has been detected;
Red: the part with serious plagiarism has a similarity of 70%~ 100%, and it is strongly recommended to modify it;
Orange: Slightly plagiarized part, with similarity of 40%~70%.
Of course, different paper-based duplicate checking systems will have certain differences in labeling, but in paper-based duplicate checking reports, what different colors mean is generally explained, and we just need to look them up carefully.

Significance of duplicate checking report:
First, the detection of academic misconduct
The so-called paper duplication checking is to check whether your paper overlaps with articles published by others and uploaded to academic journal websites (such as China Knowledge Network) through relevant testing software. If the overlap is too high, such as more than 30%, different universities and journals have different specific standards, and generally take 5%, 10%, 15% and 30% as thresholds.
Then your article will be regarded as plagiarism, that is, if there is academic misconduct, the school may not allow you to defend your paper, or the journal will not accept your article. It examines a person's academic ethics. It can be said that detecting academic misconduct is the most direct purpose of academic papers.
Second, prevent infringement of intellectual property rights of others.
If the repetition rate of your paper is detected by the machine to be too high, it can generally be considered that there is academic misconduct, that is, you plagiarized (or inappropriately quoted) the existing research results in the writing process of your academic paper. Academic achievements can be regarded as intellectual property products of researchers, the crystallization of the original author's knowledge and wisdom, and the results of the author's labor.
If you plagiarize some articles published by others for your own use and infringe on others' intellectual property rights in the process of writing your thesis, there is no essential difference between plagiarism and plagiarism. Paper duplication checking can prevent this kind of infringement of other people's intellectual property rights to a great extent, which is conducive to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the creators of knowledge products.
Third, promote the healthy development of academic research.
The direct purpose of paper duplication checking is to discover academic misconduct, and its ultimate significance is to promote the development of academic research. First of all, we can form a certain restraint mechanism for students or researchers by reviewing papers and prohibiting plagiarism, so as to urge them to make more original contributions in academic research, which can directly promote the progress of academic research;
Secondly, by protecting the intellectual property rights of others, people's labor achievements will be respected, and the whole society will have greater motivation to create knowledge and may benefit from this creative activity. In this way, the academic research of the whole country will continue to progress.
