Similarity is not the same as plagiarism
A high score can come from correctly cited quotations, standard method descriptions or your own reference list. To reduce it: paraphrase high-similarity passages properly, quote and cite anything taken verbatim, exclude the bibliography where the journal allows it, drop template boilerplate, and avoid reusing large sections of your own earlier publications. See the Plagiarism Policy for how JMVRA assesses a report.
What Can Be Checked

Pre-submission check for UGC CARE, Scopus and international journals. Below 15–20% is typically required.

Before you send a document
Six points that avoid a back-and-forth before the check starts.
- Word (.docx) or a text-based PDF — scanned pages cannot be compared
- State the document type and the page count so the right tier is applied
- Say whether you also want AI-writing detection
- Leave the references in; the report lets you exclude them
- Mention a deadline if you need express delivery within one working day
- Publishing with JMVRA? Screening is already included in the fee — you do not need this report
