Main inspection contents of sampling inspection of master's thesis

The sampling inspection of master's and doctoral dissertations mainly examines the innovation ability and scientific research ability of graduate students. Paper sampling will first check whether the logic of the paper is consistent and whether there is serious patchwork or plagiarism. Secondly, check whether the framework is complete, whether the content of the paper solves the questions that should be answered, and whether the workload is enough.

Finally, the basic contents of the paper, such as document format, document citation, comments in document review, whether there are typos and sentences, are also included in the scope of sampling inspection.

If small problems such as format errors and typos are found through inspection, students will be asked to correct them. However, if plagiarism, forgery, tampering, buying and selling, ghostwriting and other academic misconduct are verified, the awarded master's degree will be revoked and the master's degree certificate will be cancelled.
