Because HowNet doesn't include undergraduate papers at present.
At present, HowNet does not include undergraduate papers, but only excellent master's and doctoral papers and periodical contributions, which will cause the phenomenon that users can't view undergraduate papers on HowNet.
HowNet's duplicate checking database will collect the data of undergraduate thesis. On the one hand, universities that have cooperative relations with HowNet will upload students' graduation thesis to HowNet.
On the other hand, as long as the graduation thesis is checked by HowNet, it will be automatically included in the comparison database. Therefore, it is recommended for undergraduates to use the PMLC duplicate checking system of HowNet, and the results after testing are basically the same as those of the school.
HowNet duplicate checking is to calculate the paper repetition rate according to the standard that 13 consecutive characters are similar and will be judged as duplicates. If students plagiarize sentences or paragraphs from other people's papers, the duplicate checking system of HowNet will identify the duplicates and calculate them into the total repetition rate of the papers.
What does the duplicate checking of HowNet include?
It includes the text, original description, abstract, icon and formula description, references, appendices, experimental research results, conclusion, introduction, patents, documents, notes and various forms.
most colleges and universities will issue a notice to explain the graduation thesis specifications and duplicate checking instructions in the graduation season every year, and the school will issue the thesis style and other contents in a unified way, generally explaining the scope of duplicate checking in detail. If the school has specific requirements, it must be submitted in accordance with the requirements of the school.
Take the undergraduate thesis upload as an example. After entering the duplicate checking system, users need to fill in each part completely as shown in the figure below, and users should pay attention to the fact that the size of the uploaded thesis file should not exceed 3M and the number of characters of the thesis should not exceed 6,, otherwise it will not be uploaded correctly. After all input is completed, the user can click the submit test button.
