Most graduate papers have to be tested, and undergraduates have to make spot checks. And every school will have a similarity rate, and it will be difficult to exceed it. In the past, our school refused graduates whose repetition rate exceeded 20%, which sounded scary!

So how to write a paper to pass the paper detection system smoothly? As far as my own experience is concerned, I think of the following points for your reference only!

First, if you haven't started writing a paper yet and are about to start writing it, you should pay attention to the fact that the part that is prone to high repetition rate is literature review. Because most people's literature reviews refer to journals or other people's papers, and most of them are summative, so many people write the same thing, which easily leads to high repetition rate. I suggest that if you want to write a good paper, you should download some comprehensive English articles and translate them yourself, which is better. If you really want to refer to Chinese articles, you can, but you should pay attention to modifying sentence patterns, which are described in detail below.

Second, your paper has been written. Most of your articles refer to other people's articles, and some of them are directly extracted. What should I do? I suggest you use a paper detection software to see which parts of your paper have high repetition rate. I use p to find out the duplication and then start to modify it. I have a little suggestion, or a stupid way. It's ok to change one or two sentences by yourself, but it's too painful to change the whole article. Everyone knows Google Translate, right? You can translate Chinese into English first, and then English into Chinese, so the sentence will change. Why don't you speak the sentence more fluently?

Thirdly, if you don't want to use any of the above methods, there is another method you can suggest, but not all schools will do. You can delete the repeated parts, send them for testing, and then submit the previous manuscript when you hand in the final paper, but if the school draws you in the spot check again, it is your bad luck. Therefore, I still suggest that you use paper detection software to detect where the repetition rate is high in your article, and then try to remove it. This is the best and most effective method.
