Why is my similarity score so high?

Answer

One of the most common reasons why a similarity score might be very high is that you may be using too many direct quotes in your work and need to start paraphrasing more.

See the below FAQs on paraphrasing to help improve this aspect of your writing.

The Library Academic Support Centre is also available for help explaining your similarity score or to improve your paraphrasing.
