HowNet's spit is more focused on the charging mode of publishing articles and then checking the fees, but it is a pity that a large part of the income of this website comes from these fees, which is unlikely. This is human nature, so we can only try to coordinate a reasonable price, such as downloading papers, which will only be used when students graduate. I usually download a few papers when I have nothing to do, and there are too few students to watch. After all, it's not a novel, and it doesn't look so good, just because of academic needs.
It's no problem to make money by doing knowledge, but the problem now is that copyright has been infringed more than once. This article was written by the author himself, but it was included in the website without the author's consent. Finally, the author found out, and then the final judgment was few, tens of thousands, and the judgment was many, hundreds of thousands. So this proves that the copyright problem must be solved, the copyright review of this knowledge-based website must be strengthened, the interests of the author must be safeguarded, and it is the legitimate intellectual property rights of others.
If the author of the article publishes the article, not only does he not make money, but also charges, then the author doesn't want to publish it. Even if he had a choice, he would give priority to publishing it in international journals, because it was unconvincing. HowNet is just a website with a low income threshold. Many undergraduate papers can be earned, not to mention articles by some professional authors. This business is not unprofitable, but the gross profit margin is about 55% and the net profit rate is at least 40%, which is seriously inconsistent with the profit rate of the entity industry. The average net profit of the entity manufacturing industry is about 10%. Therefore, it is a good thing to lower such a high gross profit margin.
