The system found similarities to my work. What does that mean?
The similarity that the system has found between your work and the work(s) in the database does not necessarily mean that it is plagiarized. Each work (similarity) must be assessed individually, checking the correctness of citations, etc. There is no universal % value from which a work can be considered plagiarized.
