Not all colleges and universities are subject to the test results of HowNet! It depends on the final notice of the school and what is the basis of the re-inspection report! Hownet detection is only one of the paper standards, and there are many duplicate checking tools to detect whether the repetition rate is too high. If the repetition rate of the paper is not enough, it is unqualified. Whether the repetition rate is enough depends on the quality and whether it meets the standard. Finally, determine whether the paper is qualified.

Generally speaking, the repetition rate of undergraduate papers in colleges and universities is 30%, that is, the total repetition rate of undergraduate papers after duplicate checking by HowNet PMLC system is 30% or above, which means that plagiarism and duplicate checking fail, and the papers need to be revised and submitted again, otherwise they cannot graduate. The repetition rate standard of graduate students varies from university to university. Postgraduate papers are all tested by TMLC2 or VIP5.0 of HowNet. The repetition rate standard of MBA thesis and on-the-job postgraduate thesis is 30%, and that of postgraduate thesis in colleges and universities is 20% or 10%. The standard of doctoral students is stricter, generally below 10% or 5%.

China HowNet duplicate checking system can quickly provide the similarity ratio between the tested document and other documents, but how big can this ratio be defined as plagiarism? At present, there are no general standards and specific provisions, and our laws and regulations have not made a clear explanation. When colleges and magazines are used, they mainly rely on their own understanding and grasp of academic writing norms. Some colleges and universities stipulate that "a graduate thesis 10% is similar to other documents and is regarded as plagiarism"; And some colleges and universities stipulate that "20% of the same proportion is plagiarism"; For "the paper has obvious splicing, although there are references and labels, but there is basically no original idea", some think it is plagiarism, and some think it is not enough to constitute plagiarism, so it can only be considered as "there are serious quality problems".
