I’ve read quite a lot of scientific papers and using “percent” is also prevalent among Western scholars.

I agree about using % in scientific writing. Thanks for the suggestion!

Reuters uses “pct” in its headlines, for example. http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKTRE5BH15I20091218

As for me, I’m inclined to using percent as well, but ini some very technical articles, I guess % is more convenient to write fast.

“per cent” in French means “every hundred”, so it’s understandable that you see “per cent” often used in the UK as it’s so close to France. I personally have never seen pc, pct in writing.

我个人认为，在列举大量数据的科技类文章中，用%更合适一些。

brilon : U.K. media often uses per cent. U.S. media often uses percent.

That's been my experience. In the United States, usage patterns are mixed for newspapers, though "percent" is slightly more common than "%" (the New York Times, for example, uses "percent." Academic work in the humanities and social sciences generally conforms to the same pattern. The closer you creep toward science the more likely you are to find "%." I don't remember ever seeing "pc" or "pct."

既然都没错的话那就视情况使用咯。
i think % is more used in scientific arcticles.
