Thesis defense is an organized, prepared, planned and evaluated way to review papers. In order to better complete the graduation thesis defense, the school, the defense sub-committee and the respondent need to make full preparations. In the formal defense, the examiner will judge the level of the paper according to the performance of the students. Students need to answer the questions raised by the examiner and prove that their thesis arguments are all studied by themselves, which has certain academic significance and practical value.

The process of duplicate checking is different from that of defense. Colleges and universities usually stipulate that papers should be checked first, and only after the papers are checked again can they be eligible to apply for thesis defense. Most colleges and universities use the paper duplicate checking system of HowNet. Colleges and universities will upload the papers written by everyone to HowNet for duplicate checking, and will set a repetition rate standard, and the papers within this standard will be considered qualified.

Therefore, the process of duplicate checking and defense is different. Don't be confused. Paper duplication checking can be detected by various paper duplication checking systems, and defense is a further manual evaluation of papers by schools.
