Tips to get rid of accidental plagiarism

I was going through my dissertation for one last time. That is when I discovered that in the methodology chapter there were few plagiarised content. I didn’t copy the content intentionally. What should I do now?

sapna, don’t worry. It happens to all. This is called accidental plagiarism. Either completely remove that content or just rewrite the content.

By Jeff Answered 6 years ago

sapna you can use paraphrasing tool rather than rewriting the content manually.

By Sapna C K Answered 6 years ago

Won’t the paraphrasing tool change the meaning of the content?

By Jeff Answered 6 years ago

Nope. Paraphrasing tool won’t alter the meaning of the content. All it does is, it rewrites the content using synonyms or different words.

By Roopa K Answered 6 years ago

The best way is, use plagiarism removal tool. It will automatically remove all the plagiarised content.
