For different fields and periodicals, the repetition rate of periodical papers may be different. Generally speaking, the repetition rate of periodical papers should approach zero, that is, each paper should be original and independent. But occasionally I can accept one or two papers with low repetition rate, but too high repetition rate will lead to academic moral problems.
Under normal circumstances, when submitting a manuscript, a periodical will ask the author to guarantee his independence, and he shall not publish similar or identical papers in other periodicals or conferences at the same time. This means that every paper should be a brand-new research result, which has never been published elsewhere.
There is no universally applicable standard to define what is the specific value of normal repetition rate. Generally speaking, if the repetition rate exceeds 5%, it may be considered abnormal. However, in some special fields or circumstances, the repetition rate may be slightly higher, but academic ethics and submission rules must still be observed.
When the duplicate checking rate of periodical papers is too high, the situation will include that the articles are refused to be published, the academic reputation is damaged and the published papers are withdrawn.
1. The article is refused to be published: if the duplicate checking rate of the paper exceeds the threshold set by the journal, the journal editor can refuse to publish the paper. This is because a high duplicate checking rate may mean a lot of repetition, plagiarism or plagiarism in the paper, which violates academic ethics and academic norms.
2. Academic reputation is damaged: papers with high duplicate checking rate may bring negative academic reputation to the author. Academia is a field that attaches great importance to originality and academic integrity. If the author is found to have plagiarized or plagiarized, his reputation may be damaged.
3. Withdraw the published paper: If the published paper is later found to have a high duplicate checking rate, the journal may ask the author to withdraw the paper. This will lead to academic recognition and erasure of achievements, which will have a negative impact on the author's research evaluation and career development.
