Reducing Similarity and Understanding Text Recycling

Many journals now routinely check a manuscript's similarity score, and manuscripts with high scores often risk rejection unless they are rewritten, even when the similar text is your own. In this webinar, we discuss the rationale and logic behind the use of similarity scores, strategies for reducing them, and ways to ethically recycle text and avoid self-plagiarism. Webinar highlights include: • Why and how journals check manuscript similarity scores. • Concrete strategies for rewriting text to reduce similarity. • Tips for ethically "recycling" your previous work in future publications. • The role of artificial intelligence in concerns about similarity and plagiarism. Dr. Zachary Wilmot brings you the next installment in the LetPub Webinar Series, where we talk about similarity scores and text recycling. Join us on Thursday, January 29, at 9AM EST (10PM UTC+8).
