Medical writing reuses standard phrases: inclusion criteria, test names, drug dosages. That is why an honest thesis can still come back from its first similarity run well above the convention its university applies.
What is acceptable
Universities following UGC 2018[3] treat 0 to 10% as acceptable. Quoted definitions, reference lists and your own methodology in your own words are typically excluded.
What not to do
- Do not use paraphrasing tools that change meaning
- Do not insert invisible characters or images of text
- Do not buy pre-written chapters
What works
- Write methods from your own proforma, not from a paper
- Summarise a study's finding, then cite it, rather than restating its sentence
- Run a word-level check before every chapter is final, not once at the end
MDSoftune, developed with REDENN Informatics Inc., Canada, checks every word and phrase of every draft and highlights risky passages with the likely source type, so they can be cited or put into your own words while the chapter is still in draft. It is not the tool your university runs, and no figure it reports is a prediction of the figure your institution's own checker will produce.
