@Admin There is a lack of consensus or clear-cut-rules on what percentage of plagiarism is acceptable in a manuscript. Going by the convention, usually, a similarity of >25% is considered as a high percentage of plagiarism.

Using free online software for checking plagiarism is not advisable, as these free versions will not check the plagiarism as effective as licensed versions, and also some of these software will store your files for future purposes, if you are a student of JSS, then don't worry, please contact your mentor, as all mentors have been provided with licensed versions of Turnitin by JSSAHER.

Ya as you have mentioned with my experience, Zotero is good, as it is free verision, followed by mendly, But ultimately Endnote is my all time favorite

As per my knowledge and experience, Zotero and Medely are good as they are free versions. However, Endnote is the ultimate of any other citation manager softwares

In order to write a review, you should have a thorough knowledge in the area which you want to write. Also, you should have a hand full of articles in that specific area that you are writing a review. Your review should be updated, fresh and you have to give a message (Future perspectives) of the area

There is no term called "method", rather the best "Practice" is thourough undersatdning of the concept thoroughly and after that writing in your own words with simple english. Remeber that without proper understading of concept you cannot rewrite the same effectively.
