Yes, you need to publish a small paper for your diploma, otherwise you can only give a copy. The publication of a paper means that the paper is published in a journal, so the publication must be inseparable from the development table. Generally speaking, it is required to publish a paper with a certain purpose. Except for some undergraduate graduation theses, some universities do not need to publish them, and other papers are basically required to be published.

Therefore, publication is also a criterion for the successful publication of papers. However, publication is sometimes not the ultimate criterion for the successful publication of papers. For example, the title of the thesis and some graduation papers are not published enough, and articles are also required to be retrieved. Whether it is the evaluation of professional titles or graduation, the assessment of papers is mainly based on retrieval. It doesn't matter that some papers may not be published, as long as they are retrieved, of course, depending on the specific regulations.
