Plagiarism removal basics
What is RPL plagiarism removal guidance?
Plagiarism removal means rewriting a flagged passage in your own words so the meaning stays the same but the wording becomes original.
This guidance follows a plagiarism check. It focuses on how to revise flagged content yourself, not on running the scan itself, which our RPL Plagiarism Check service covers.
Who may need plagiarism removal guidance?
- Your report came back with flagged or matched passages.
- You are not sure how to reword a passage without losing meaning.
- You copied a duty statement from an ANZSCO description and need to rewrite it.
- Your two reports share repeated wording you need to separate.
- You want your revised passages checked before you resubmit.
Important: You make every change yourself. We explain what to fix and how; we do not provide replacement wording for you to paste in.
Rewriting technique
How to rewrite a flagged passage
Removing plagiarism is about changing how an idea is expressed, not swapping a few words.
Work through each flagged passage using these steps, in your own words.
Rewrite from understanding
Explain the idea in your own words without looking at the matched text.
Change structure, not just words
Reorder sentences and ideas rather than swapping single words.
Keep your own facts
Keep the same project facts; only the wording needs to change.
Attribute what needs it
Add a clear source for any content that should be quoted or credited.
Separate your two reports
Reword any passage repeated between your two project reports.
Recheck before resubmission
Run a final check to confirm the passage no longer matches.
Removal process
