As an original creator, you have to pay to view the documents you have written on HowNet. Not long ago, a professor wanted to look up a paper he wrote on the Internet for some reason, but found that downloading his paper required paying for viewing, which seriously violated the original author and the intellectual property protection law. This practice is not uncommon on HowNet. Many university teachers or researchers need to spend money to download their own papers or other teachers' papers on HowNet, and the amount is relatively large. This is pay-per-view, and you need to pay for each paper you download.
Intellectual property rights cannot be monopolized. The relatively large knowledge platforms in China should belong to HowNet and Wanfang platforms, and most graduation papers or documents will be uploaded to HowNet. Over time, this expectation will gradually reach a monopoly phenomenon, and this phenomenon will prompt downloading papers to spend more money. By observing the download cost of HowNet, it is not difficult to find that the average fee for each paper ranges from two yuan to ten yuan, and the download of papers written by some professional professors with high gold content may be as high as several tens of yuan. This is a kind of protection for the original knowledge, but it forms a monopoly measure for others. The best way is to download it once and watch it for a lifetime.
Not only the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also many university students have to spend a lot of money to consult relevant literature after writing their graduation thesis because the school has not cooperated with HowNet. This is a great burden for students who have no financial resources. In order to solve this problem, HowNet should open the limited-time free access function of the platform account, and users can browse and download the papers and documents on HowNet for free within one month as long as they buy for about one month. Only in this way can the overall management measures and services for all kinds of intellectuals of HowNet be more in place and humanized.
