The paper detection system sets the threshold of paper citation. Usually, the quoted content cannot exceed 5% of the full text. Once this ratio is exceeded, the system will consider it plagiarism.
2. How to calculate the total number of words when a paper is repeated?
At present, most schools use the paper duplicate checking system of HowNet. When we copy duplicate papers on HowNet, we usually submit the whole paper to the system, and then the system will calculate the cover, abstract, table of contents, text and references of the paper. That means that all the Words displayed in the Word document will be counted, but it should be noted that the English letters in the word document are a word, and the detection system calculates them according to the number of characters, so generally speaking, the total number of words displayed in the duplicate check report is more than that in the word document. What problems will you encounter when reviewing papers?
3. How to judge plagiarism?
To be clear, different universities have different requirements for the repetition rate, but they are all limited. Usually, the repetition rate of undergraduate thesis is less than 30%, and that of doctoral thesis is between 20%- 10%. Then there are strict requirements of the school, such as the undergraduate course should be within 20% and the doctoral thesis should be within 10%-5%. After the papers are uploaded to CNKI for duplicate checking, they will get duplicate checking reports from three parties, including the copy rate of total words/the copy rate after deleting quotations/the maximum copy rate of a single paper. Generally, the school will take the first case as your final score in the exam, and the other two cases are for reference only. If your total word reproduction rate is very high, the more likely you are to copy.
Did you find any papers that the school didn't find?
Under normal circumstances, the school will have regulations. If the first draft of your paper fails, the school will give you a chance to revise it. However, if the revision still fails to meet the requirements of the school, it will be impossible to defend the thesis, and there may even be the possibility of delaying graduation.
