1. Choose a reliable duplicate checking tool: There are many duplicate checking tools in the market, such as Turnitin, Grammarly, Copyscape, etc. Turnitin is the most commonly used duplicate checking tool, which is adopted by many universities and journals. We should ensure the accuracy and reliability when choosing the duplicate checking tool.
2. Understand the duplicate checking standards: Different schools and periodicals may have different duplicate checking standards. Before submitting a paper, you must know the duplicate checking requirements of your school or periodical, such as the upper limit of repetition rate and citation format.
3. Use the duplicate checking tool for detection: upload your MPA paper to the selected duplicate checking tool for detection. The duplicate checking tool will compare your paper word for word and find out the parts similar to other documents. Usually the duplicate checking tool will give a detailed report, including repetition rate, similar paragraphs and so on.
4. Analyze the duplicate check report: read the duplicate check report carefully and find out the parts with high similarity to your paper. These parts may be copied directly, quoted excessively or unconsciously repeated. For these parts, you need to modify and polish them to reduce the repetition rate.
5. Revision and polishing: according to the duplicate check report, the paper is revised and polished. Delete unnecessary repetition and ensure that the reference format is correct. At the same time, pay attention to keep the structure and logic of the paper.
6. Check again: After the modification is completed, use the duplicate checking tool for detection again. Ensure that the repetition rate meets the requirements of schools or periodicals. If it still exceeds the requirements, continue to modify and polish.
7. Tutor review: Before submitting the paper, send the paper to the tutor for review. The tutor may put forward some suggestions and opinions to help you further improve your thesis.
In a word, duplicate checking of MPA papers is a process that needs to be taken seriously. By choosing appropriate duplicate checking tools, understanding duplicate checking standards, analyzing duplicate checking reports, modifying and polishing papers, and reviewing by tutors, the originality and quality of papers can be guaranteed, which will lay a solid foundation for successful graduation.
