First, why are footnotes marked in red when copying papers?
Generally speaking, the system can recognize footnotes, regard them as references, do not participate in duplicate checking, and do not mark them in red. However, if the copy is submitted as a PDF version. Because the PDF does not recognize the footnote format, it will be copied as text. Errors in pdf format parsing will lead to inaccurate detection results. In addition, the system cannot recognize the documents generated by wps.
2. What if the footnote is marked red?
If it is only because of the problem of uploading the version, it is best to convert the pdf document into word before uploading it. But what if there is a requirement to submit a PDF version? Normal changes with room for modification. Some references that have not been modified have been deleted, some have been retained, and some have been moved to the end of the article.
3. How to change the footnote in red?
If the school requires that the duplicate checking rate be less than 20% and that the paper be tested by using PDF, and the footnotes of your paper have already accounted for more than 10% of the full-text repetition rate, then some footnotes need to be deleted. But not all of them can be deleted. Your mentor, the defense team and the blind jury will not agree to delete them all. Therefore, it is necessary to keep it or move it to the references at the end of the paper. Note: After the footnote is deleted, the content in the original text needs to be changed from direct quotation to indirect quotation.
