After selecting 1000-word sample of annotation of text only with the annotated heading,
I have found 19% plagiarism. Maximum plagiarism is present in the references that are present
in the headings of the article review. The plagi that has come from WordPress is around 7% and
they are mainly due to the utilization of same sentence structure or due to the similar writing
pattern which can be avoided by changing the writing pattern. In addition to this, I have found
that 3% of plagi is reflected due to the utilization of keywords which we are unable to avoid.
Moreover, 1% plagi is in the running head that cannot be avoided.
