I have tried explaining the limitation as you suggested. It looks like it worked. Thank you for your support.

You could let the buyer know what you've told us, that it's counting the quotes that you've done as plagiarism when it shouldn't be etc.

In future maybe run it through a plagiarism checker yourself before delivering it to try to make sure it gives a low figure.

If they still think some sections (that aren't quotes) are too like some other text you could offer to rewrite those sections of the article, while explaining that they weren't plagiarised.

My problem is that there are certain statements, like "a global market with local regulation", that cannot be said in many other ways. I thought that a plagiarism report would pick longer text; mainly when you write about rules and regulations, there will be short groups of words used by somebody else, simply because there are not many ways to say "EMIR requires both parties to report."

[How to deal with plagiarism report]

I am an expert in financial regulations. So when I was asked to ghost an article on financial regulations, I thought I had no problems. A plagiarism report counts as plagiarism sentences I wrote simply because a legal website agrees with me (there are only so many ways to say that a specific action is not allowed or that a regulator supervises financial institutions in its jurisdiction); also it counts as plagiarism credited quotes and (credited) sources of information. I am now risking a cancellation I do not need (I am "coming back" from a period of inactivity) for something I feel I have no control. Any suggestion on how to deal with this?
