The similarity rate of duplicate checking refers to the proportion of the parts (including the cited parts) in the submitted papers that are similar to all the documents in the detection range (similarity rate = plagiarism rate+citation rate).

In paper search, paper similarity refers to the repetition rate of your paper relative to the papers in the database during paper search. The percentage shown in the duplicate check report should not exceed 20% in general, otherwise the school will ask for rejection to prevent plagiarism and rewrite.

Both graduation thesis and personal thesis choose to use PaperRater paper duplicate checking software to check their own papers.
