I. Background
With the rapid development of science and technology, academic papers have become an important medium for people to exchange ideas and share results in the field of scientific research. However, some malpractices, such as plagiarism and plagiarism, have brought about a crisis of confidence in the academic world. Therefore, it is especially necessary to understand and be familiar with effective ways of checking and reducing the weight of dissertations in order to maintain academic integrity and protect intellectual property rights. In this paper, we will discuss thesis weight checking and weight reduction in detail, aiming to help customers use these tools correctly and improve the quality of thesis.
Overview of weight checking
1. Meaning: Dissertation weight checking is the comparative analysis of published academic materials to find possible plagiarism. Commonly used checking platforms in China include China Knowledge Network (CNKI), etc. 2.
2. Principle: The checking system evaluates the originality and plagiarism of the paper to be examined by comprehensively analysing the words, sentences, paragraphs and other factors in the document and identifying the parts that are highly similar to other documents.
3. Rule: Take China Knowledge as an example, its checking rule adopts the control strategy of “the number of consecutive identical characters”, if more than 13 repeated characters or more than 5% of identical characters are found, it is regarded as plagiarism.
Methods of weight reduction
1. Adjusting the article structure: Increase the difference between the paper to be examined and the existing research results by reorganising the structure of the article, changing the order of sentences, or even rewriting the paper, so as to reduce the repetition rate.
2. Delete duplicated content: Delete duplicated statements, paragraphs or chapters to reduce the duplication rate.
3. Standardise citation format: Cite other people’s ideas correctly according to the requirements of academic norms to avoid being misjudged as plagiarism by the system.
4. Use weight reduction tools: there are many excellent weight reduction software on the market, such as PaperPro intelligent weight reduction and Knowledge Network weight reduction tools provided by China Knowledge Network, which can greatly reduce the burden of weight reduction.
Suggestions for dealing with forms
As the current weight checking system does not yet support the table detection, we can use the “data list method” to avoid the risk. Specifically, it is to split the duplicate information in the form item by item, and try to add new text elements.
V. Conclusion
Dissertation checking and weight reduction is a key link to ensure academic integrity and protect intellectual property rights. We hope that the above methodological guidelines can provide useful reference for your dissertation writing. At the same time, we also call on you to abide by academic norms and create a good academic atmosphere.
