Academic paraphrasing of your research content

Academic paraphrasing rephrases the flagged or repetitive passages in your manuscript for cleaner structure and clarity. This naturally reduces the similarity index to a level journals accept, under 20%. Every pass is done by a subject-matched editor, keeps your meaning and citations intact, and comes with a free editor-verified Turnitin similarity report.

Human paraphrasing that keeps your meaning

Unlike a paraphrasing tool that swaps words statistically, a human editor rephrases with full understanding of your source and context, so technical meaning stays exact and the prose reads naturally. The pass improves structure and clarity as it goes, not just wording, and every change is visible in tracked changes. Claims, data and citations remain exactly as you wrote them.

Maintaining a low similarity, below 20%

Most journals treat an overall similarity index under 20% as acceptable, and many editors are uncomfortable above 15% when a single source contributes large blocks. Our editors rephrase the overlapping passages in your own voice while keeping quotations, citations and technical phrasing that legitimately cannot change. This naturally reduces the similarity index to a low and acceptable level, under 20%. A free editor-verified Turnitin similarity report is provided to confirm this low score.

Paraphrasing for resubmission after a high similarity flag

Resubmission is the most common reason researchers come to us. Send the journal's similarity report with your manuscript and the editor works through exactly the flagged passages, rephrasing for clarity as well as originality, so the resubmission reads better than the original rather than just differently. A fresh similarity report reports the new index before you resubmit.

Pricing and what is included

Academic paraphrasing is US$0.054 per word, fixed and confirmed in a free same-day quote. You can have only the flagged sections paraphrased to keep the cost down: send your existing similarity report or highlight the passages, and the quote covers only the words that need work. The editor-verified Turnitin similarity report is included at no extra charge.

FAQs

Paraphrasing questions

How is this different from a paraphrasing tool?

A human editor rephrases with full understanding of the source and target context, keeping technical meaning exact and prose natural. The pass also improves structure and clarity rather than just swapping words.

Will the meaning change?

No. Claims, data and citations stay exactly as you wrote them. Only the expression changes, and every change is visible in tracked changes.

What similarity level do you target?

Under 20%, the level journals commonly treat as acceptable. The included editor-verified Turnitin similarity report documents the final score.

What if the report comes back above 20%?

The editor revises the remaining flagged passages and a fresh report is generated at no extra cost.

Can you paraphrase only the flagged sections?

Yes. Send your existing similarity report or highlight the sections, and the quote covers only the words that need work.

What similarity percentage do journals actually accept?

Most journals treat an overall index under 20% as acceptable, and many editors get uncomfortable above 15%, especially when single sources contribute large blocks. Properly quoted and cited material is fine at any level; the problem is unattributed overlap in your own research writing. Our editors paraphrase your content, and this naturally decreases the similarity score, while preserving the intended meaning, quotations, citations and technical terms.

Does paraphrasing remove plagiarism risk?

Paraphrasing plus correct citation is the standard scholarly practice for building on published work. Our editors rephrase overlapping passages in your voice while keeping every citation attached to its claim, so the ideas remain attributed to their sources. What changes is the text similarity, not the attribution. The included editor-verified Turnitin similarity report documents the final overlap for your records.

Will paraphrasing work for a resubmission after a high similarity flag?

Yes, that is the most common scenario we see. Send the journal's report with your manuscript and the editor works through exactly the flagged passages, rephrasing for clarity as well as originality, so the resubmission reads better than the original rather than just differently. A fresh similarity report is included to confirm the new index before you resubmit.
