What percentage of plagiarism is acceptable?

By

Most plagiarism percentage tolerances in plagiarism checker software are below 15%. It depends on the plagiarism software used and the university regulations. 

You should be aware that a percentage below 15% is not proof that you are free from plagiarism. Plagiarism checker tools only check for similarities with other documents in their database. You need to ensure your article properly cites all sources. 

Plagiarism Checker Illustration

Here are many university regulations about what percentage of plagiarism is acceptable:

The University of the West Indies accepts a plagiarism percentage below 15%, as stated in the document 'Guidelines for Staff and Students on Plagiarism'. 

At Universiti Malaya, if your similarity index is between 10% and 30%, you may face an investigation. This is outlined in the document 'Guidelines for Handling Plagiarism'.

At Western Sydney University Library, there are no rules regarding the percentage of plagiarism acceptable, according to their FAQ. This is because they believe the percentage of original writing depends on the subject area and type of writing. You should cite properly and use a plagiarism checker to review and avoid accidental plagiarism.

Discussions on platforms like Tumblr and Reddit have raised concerns about potential plagiarism in Sarah J. Maas's works, particularly regarding similarities to other fantasy series. Critics point to resemblances between Maas's "Throne of Glass" and "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series and Anne Bishop's "The Black Jewels" trilogy, including parallels in character names, races, and specific phrases. For instance, the name "Terreille" in Bishop's series is similar to "Terrasen" in Maas's work (SJM-Exposed-Blog, 2018).
