AoA everyone. I have written a research paper and when I checked it for plagiarism, it contained 9% plagiarism. I brought it down to 6%. How can I remove plagiarism from references section and how much plagiarism is generally acceptable?
 
Different institutes or journals allow different limits. Usually people dont submit reference section for plag check. Article spinner + manual check is the only way I know.
 
Cite every thing. If you can't paraphrase it then put it in quotes and cite it...that's the easiest way.
 
Accuse them of plagiarizing you.

There's the small matter of them having published before you of course, but where there's a will, there's a way. Controversy is good. Controversy will let you make the leap from sedate academic publications to mass media.
 
The US university i went to had a software tool that they would scan the papers through, but im not sure what the thresholds are..

Whole world is using turnitin as primary plag service. It got a huge database to match now.

9% is okay I guess. I have submitted courseworks with like 25% similarity. Everything was referenced so it was not an issue. Sometimes; its hard to paraphrase etc.

References does not count as plagiarism and anything in quotations. Thats the rule in the UK anyway. Depends on where you are.

6% would be acceptable here.

you use to teach at AIR. Please share the stories regarding plagiarism you faced
 
Don't worry about the percentage unless its a number way out of proportion - you'll be fine as long as you clearly reference whatever you're quoting.

Sophomores at these for-profit "universities" don't write research papers, so I never encountered any such attempts.
