China HowNet has no word requirement for undergraduate thesis testing. Undergraduate graduation thesis should be uploaded to China Knowledge Network, and the size should be within 15M and the number of words should be within 60,000 words. Therefore, basically all undergraduate university papers can be uploaded directly for detection, without worrying about too few words or too many words that cannot be detected.
Some students managed to write their papers to the required number of words, but they still failed the test of China HowNet. This is because China Knowledge Network requires duplicate checking rate of papers. The duplicate checking rate does not mean that as long as the number of words in your paper reaches, you will certainly pass. It will calculate the proportion of repetition in the whole article. If the ratio is high, the duplicate checking rate will naturally go up, and the area of floating red in the test report will also increase.
There is also the question of format. The title formats of title, abstract, text and table of contents are all different. If there is a problem with the format, it will affect the detection of China Knowledge Network duplicate checking software. Because China HowNet has its fixed algorithm, which is relatively rigid, we can only do our own work to cooperate with China HowNet. This format was also specified, which was prepared for the test at that time.
What is the word number requirement for undergraduate graduation thesis?
Although there are requirements for the number of words in the thesis, each university has different requirements, and graduates with different academic qualifications have different requirements for the number of words in the graduation thesis. The number of words required for undergraduate thesis is about 6,000 to 8,000, for master thesis is about 30,000 to 50,000, and for doctoral thesis is about 50,000. This is just a reference, and students can still learn the published documents.
The number of words needed for graduation thesis is not determined by HowNet duplicate checking software, but by learning. It does not mean that the duplicate checking rate of papers detected by duplicate checking software is high, nor does it mean that duplicate checking software is too harsh on papers.
The duplicate checking software will only detect the repetitive parts of the paper and get the value of the repetition rate, which determines whether your paper can pass the learning requirements. If the results detected in the duplicate checking software are higher than the requirements of the college, then your paper needs to be revised again until it reaches the standard.
Basically, all colleges and universities will use China HowNet duplicate checking software for theoretical test, because its advanced algorithm and huge database have basically cracked down on all "academic fraud" behaviors, which is favored by colleges and universities.
