As for the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is a wise choice to replace HowNet with Wanfang and VIP. You should know that knowledge is really priceless, but it is immoral to ask the masses for exorbitant prices in the name of sharing knowledge. As one of the prestigious universities, Chinese Academy of Sciences has greatly promoted the development of science and technology in China. Such a school with outstanding contributions should not tolerate the website of HowNet. At the same time, it also shows that Wanfang, Weipu and other websites can also bring convenience to students, and you don't have to know the internet.
At the same time, this move by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is also equivalent to explaining to students and people who need to use knowledge websites that we can have more preferential things to choose from. This era is not indispensable, and it can also effectively arouse the masses to resist the high fees of HowNet. Moreover, although HowNet is a website with the widest collection of knowledge resources and the widest coverage of papers, in fact, what software to use to check students' papers ultimately depends on the requirements of the school. If the school stops using HowNet, then some people worry that the coverage area of other websites is not as good as HowNet, and what to do if the results are different twice can be solved.
Finally, this practice of prestigious schools should also make us understand that learning is a lifelong benefit. Now that the network technology is so developed, the knowledge we want to acquire can be obtained only by searching related terms. Even without HowNet, we can borrow books from the library or consult teachers to get the answers we want without relying too much on a software.
