A high similarity score is rarely about cheating — usually it's poor paraphrasing, missing citations, or template language. There's an ethical way to fix it.
What ethical correction looks like
Manual paraphrasing by a human editor. Citation correction. Quotation marks added where missing. Removal of template boilerplate. Explanation comments so you understand the change.
What it doesn't include
AI rewriting (which Turnitin increasingly flags). Ghostwriting. Anything that changes meaning. Anything you couldn't defend in a viva.
