1Why do you want to reduce this metric? Presumably anyone sane looking at it will be able to see that the detector is just detecting a lot of regular things and not plagiarism.– JoshuaZCommented Jul 2 at 13:48

1Are you running the software yourself, or is someone else running it and just giving you the output?– AnonymousCommented Jul 2 at 13:58

7"paraphrased from another article (literally copy/pasted)" -- That doesn't really make sense. To be clear, you copy-pasted and then changed some words, or do you mean something else?– Daniel R. CollinsCommented Jul 2 at 14:11

9@user13267: That would of course be a "quote", not a "paraphrase" (I'm assuming you've actually got the copied text noted in quotation marks). It's, respectfully, kind of a red flag to not know that.– Daniel R. CollinsCommented Jul 2 at 15:39

1And is this mandatory? If it is, whoever is mandating it should have guidelines on how they set the software up (and I've used it-- it definitely has settings) and what you should do with or about the results.– AnonymousCommented Jul 2 at 22:46

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
