I'm a top-profile journalist
Intern, jo wai-ji, chan lin
On 13 may, when news of an investigation into suspected monopolistic practices was launched, a number of netizens drew on the screen “the world has known the internet for a long time”. In addition to the stark contrast between cheap author copyright fees and high user fees, the difficulty of knowing the internet is also common to university users。
Almost a month after the survey, the first major overhaul was finally launched — in the early morning of 12 june, the network announced that, as of that date, the network would provide direct screening services to individual users. The bulletin mentions that the price of the personal version is set at 1. 5 yuan/thousands of words by reference to the number of characters charged prevailing in the market, and that the number of studies of degree dissertations is provided free of charge to graduate students, increasing from 1. 5 per person to 3 per person, and continues to be carried out through the institute of post-graduate training (postgraduate institute)。
In response to these measures, a number of high-level students, graduates and teachers were interviewed by highly targeted journalists, who were generally welcomed, while expressing the hope that future inspections would be more scientific。

Some graduate students spent more than $3,000 on research
Ultimate journalists have learned that in order to prevent academic misconduct in many universities, the graduation papers are subject to scrutiny and that the standards are constantly being adjusted more rigorously. On the 12th, after the internet opened up for personal scrutiny and published the rates, a number of netizens tweaked, “can you pay back?” “free as soon as you graduate?”
“the majority of users of the knowledge network are students, who used to spend hundreds of dollars or even more on research for thesis.” according to huang, a master's degree in marxist fundamentals at hubei university. He informed journalists that previously the internet was closed to personal scrutiny and that schools were using it in a uniform manner, but limited use was limited in a few cases and generally only before the paper was answered. In order to gain access to the internet through the school's diploma papers, the previous year's students were searching for a number of third-party platforms。
In february and march of this year, after the completion of the dissertation, huang used multiple third-party review platforms to examine the thesis. “we usually have more than 60,000 words, and i spent 3,000 different kinds of work on it. According to huang, he used about six platforms, each of which had different results, making it even worse that he had to do more and make changes。
According to him, the prices of third-party inspections of platforms varied, and prices increased dramatically every graduation season. At the same time, many vendors have posted propaganda messages that match the results of the inspections and the results of the inspections on the internet, at a higher cost. Ultimate journalists searched for treasures — “scrutinizing” — and saw a number of vendors providing paper-checking services, mostly once at around $200. A number of businesses are using the logo of the network, and the fees will be slightly higher。
In addition, the network acknowledged that in the past, it had only been available to institutions, neglecting the practical needs of a broad range of individual users, such as academic self-censorship and newer detection, which objectively created problems of black markets and high prices。

This year, yao, a graduate of master’s degree and a student in journalism and communications, used a third-party platform to carry out inspections, which cost hundreds of dollars. “there were no official channels to do so before, and different ways to do so were not the same. The process of reducing the repetition rate and revising the paper will be painful and without clear direction.” yao said. When using other platforms to check repetition rates, yao is also very concerned about the leaking of papers, which affects graduation。
High-priced re-examination is not consistent with the results
Why did most schools choose the retrench rate of the knownet as a requirement for graduation papers? Teacher ko, a teacher at hubei university, answered: “there are a lot of people on platforms like known, but the number of periodical papers collected in the database is relatively complete. As a result, universities and scientific institutions will have a higher degree of recognition of the knowledge network.”
As previously reported by the southern metropolis newspaper, the procurement of web-based inspection services by institutions such as universities is usually conducted in annual units at costs ranging from 100,000 to 800,000 per year and is almost exclusively sourced。
Zhejiang polytechnic university (zhejiang university of technology) special deputy professor guo questioned in april this year whether there was a suspected monopoly on the internet’s heavy services. In his view, the failure to open services to individuals, etc., involved abuse of a dominant position in the market and brought proceedings against them. The case is currently pending before the hangzhou intermediate people's court。
A number of students interviewed by the press indicated that they would do so at least twice earlier because they had previously been informed that the internet search service was closed to individuals. But even at a high price, it's not all that bad. “i've weighed around 10% on several platforms, but finally the network shows a higher repetition rate.” huang recalled. Another graduate student of the master's degree programme, one of the same things happened when he defended his dissertation in this subject, “i looked at it on a third-party platform, as i promised to do with the school results, and the difference between the two was so great that it had a great impact on my dissertation”
The results of the hundreds and thousands of dollars found are not the same as the results of the knowledge network, yet they are close to the defence of the dissertation, with very limited time for modification. “so we welcome this series of initiatives, and after three free reviews of graduate degree thesis will actually save a lot of money. For undergraduate students, it would be easier and more reassuring to have a personal check-up channel, followed by a graduation paper.” according to li, a student specializing in journalism and communication at hubei university。

I am also very pleased with this initiative, known as the "first man of the network" zhao dexiang, who said, "it's an important measure of change to hear them fix me." it's a step forward! I welcome this measure.”
“it is good for students. Students are less sure about their papers, and a query is made before they submit them, which has some meaning for the revision of the guide papers.” mr. Kee said. At the same time, he stated that the importance of personal scrutiny is not very great for teachers and researchers, “the reference and reference to the articles is very clear for teachers and researchers, and qualified scholars are not academically false”
Sometimes the paper gets worse to check
In the face of this reform of the internet, a number of students have further suggested that future inspections should be more scientific and not “know-how”。
Huang told journalists that he had spent a lot of money on one hand and that the quality of the papers had been affected on the other. “some of the duplicates that appear on the platforms are not very scientific, including knowledge networks, and some of the duplicates that i think are not very scientific.” huang said。
As a master's degree in marxist fundamentals, huang's essay selection focused on the subject of awareness, and many times in his writing used classics such as “practice as a test of truth”. He would use the phrase around it, but “practical as the test of truth”. This sentence has been marked several times in the search for the internet, as a repetition rate。
“the number of repetitions in the type taken out of context compels the author to modify the entire paragraph so that the paper, whether expressed in language or in content, is discounted.” huang told the journalists that it was not just the situation he had encountered alone, as was the case with many students in the profession. Even after the review was completed, they were concerned that they would not be able to defend their dissertation with such papers。

“we are, of course, determined to protect intellectual property rights and to severely combat dissertation, but if the scientific nature of the dissertation is such that the network can do more.” huang suggested. At the same time, he told journalists that he was more scientific in his inquiries on individual platforms than on the internet and that more officially recognized channels of scrutiny could be introduced。
With regard to the sometimes poor review of the papers, teacher zhou of hubei high school made a similar observation: “when a student's personal examination has been completed, when more than a certain number of copies have been found, many people tend not to think about how to adjust their graduation design or how to write them, thinking and writing them in innovative ways, but rather to reduce the proportion by modifying the wording of the papers, which does not benefit students in writing them properly.”
Indeed, it was also acknowledged in the additions that weighting was not a substitute for the determination of academic value and that the repetition rate was not directly related to the quality of the papers. This issue requires further reflection by universities and scientific institutions。
