If you've properly cited your sources and added a contribution beyond what came before, a human reviewer/editor should be able to see that, and dismiss any flag as a false positive. | |

| Apr 13, 2018 at 10:56 | comment | added | starless | I agree with David that you should write things in your own words, but this might admittedly easily lead to very similar passages if the text is very maths-heavy, since there is usually a rather rigid way of doing things. Usually those automated machines are bad at distinguishing anything mathy, so I'd imagine you'd be safe. | |

| Apr 13, 2018 at 9:42 | comment | added | Yanko | @starless yes this is exactly what I've done. Is it enough to ensure that an automatic machine (not a human-being) won't accuse me for plagiarism. | |
