Whether there is academic misconduct in a paper can usually only be known through the duplicate checking report obtained by HowNet, which is why each unit or college will check the duplicate as soon as the paper is submitted in order to avoid the academic misconduct of the contributor. Generally, if the duplicate checking rate of a paper is above 50%, it can basically be judged that the paper is plagiarized, plagiarism belongs to academic misconduct, and the author can be judged to have academic misconduct.

Of course, each journal has different requirements on whether there is academic misconduct in the duplicate checking rate. In some magazines, more than 30% of papers will be considered as academic misconduct. Therefore, it is suggested that the requirements of submitting journals on the duplicate checking rate of papers must be clearly understood before submission, so that the author can control the duplicate checking rate before submission. The problem of repetition rate is only part of the requirements of the tutor, not the whole measure of whether a paper is qualified or not.

Therefore, to judge whether the paper can be published, we need to further judge it through professional evaluation of all aspects of the paper. The content of expert review is relatively professional, which generally includes: paper structure, paper innovation, paper experimental data, research methods, adequacy of argumentation, etc. In order to avoid academic misconduct, you should write your own papers from thought to action, and check the duplicate check rate of papers before submission. If it is beyond the scope of duplicate checking required by contributing journals, the author needs to master the methods to reduce the duplicate checking rate of papers.
