I would say that for academic papers, not counting references or methods (parts of which can often be very similar to what has already been published in other papers) about 10% is acceptable. But that is my personal opinion! Some sentences that are definitions (e.g. the definition of innate immunity or apoptosis) are of course reused many times, and plagiarism in those sentences is hard to avoid, but commonly accepted.
I have unfortunately seen many published papers that have 50% or more plagiarized text. Most of these are reviews, and they just cut and paste text from multiple other sources and call it a new review. Unfortunately, many Editors in Chiefs do not seem to find this a problem, and do not want to take any action.
