 === The Percentage Shown ===
 The percentage represents only a statistical indicator. Reports the percentage of the document sentences that were located on some website. It cannot be considered as plagiarism identification because not always that a phrase already exists on the Internet is plagiarism. A common example is the citations: if there are a high number of citations is higher the percentage of suspected plagiarism, regardless of whether the citations are properly referenced, so the percentage of suspicions will differ from the reality.
