Day 167 Task – Editing and Preparing Paper for ICOST2020 Conference

Posted on June 15, 2020 ·

Initially I thought this is an easy task as my student has prepared this paper. Unfortunately, it is a mountain of task as the turnitin score is 56% and I need to reduce it to 15 or below. I attempted to edit it yesterday night, which took me almost 3 hours and it was just reduced to 36%.

This morning, my strategy is to add more content to the paper and also edit it (rewrite) some of it so that the turnitin plagiarism score can be reduced to below 15%. Wish me luck. Thanks.

Day 132 Task – Working on My Students Review Journal Papers

Posted on May 11, 2020 ·

The was heavily invested and spent for my master and phd student’s review paper. I checked the Turnitin for duplication score and it was not that encouraging. Hence, few adjustment need to be made and I asked my students to take action to improve the plagiarism score. It was not that serious but in order for it to be submitted to reputable journals, we should just take care of this.

But here’s a tip… Don’t be shocked if the duplicate score is so high. You can exclude the bibliography / references part and that massively reduced the duplicate score. I did that and it worked, as shown in the image above.
