Citing documents refers to using other people's viewpoints, arguments, data, etc. In the paper, support or refute your own arguments, or compare, analyze and evaluate them. HowNet duplicate checking is a kind of software to detect the originality and citation standardization of papers, which can automatically identify the cited parts in papers and mark them with green fonts.
Under normal circumstances, HowNet will not count some quotations into the repetition rate when checking duplicates. However, the premise is that the author of the paper has marked the source in accordance with the prescribed format when quoting the literature, and listed the bibliography at the end of the paper, which is consistent with the serial number in the paper. At the same time, when quoting literature, pay attention to explain or evaluate in your own words, and show your thoughts and opinions.
However, the total repetition rate of duplicate checking in HowNet includes plagiarism and citation. Therefore, when the paper is cited too many times or the format is incorrect, this part of the citation will be included in the repetition rate when HowNet checks the duplicate, which will lead to a high total repetition rate and affect the quality and evaluation of the paper.
Generally speaking, citing documents is an academic norm and a manifestation of respecting the original author. However, attention should be paid to avoid excessive quotation or irregular quotation, otherwise it will be considered plagiarism or text plagiarism, which will affect the originality and quality of the paper.
Ways to reduce the weight of paper:
1, using synonyms
This is a common method to reduce the weight, that is, replace the original word with other words with the same or similar meaning, and break the font matching of the duplicate checking system. For example, use = adoption/application/adoption. First, second, third = first, second, last and so on. When using synonyms, we should pay attention to maintaining the meaning and context of the original text to avoid ambiguity or deviation from the theme.
2. Change sentence patterns and word structures
This is a grammatical method to reduce the weight, that is, to reorganize the article by using different sentence patterns and word structures and break the word order matching of the duplicate checking system. For example, active sentences become passive sentences, affirmative sentences become negative sentences, and simple sentences become complex sentences. When changing sentence patterns and word structures, we should pay attention to maintaining the logic and semantics of the original text to avoid confusion or mistakes.
Step 3 recreate the paragraph
This is a method to reduce the weight of the content, that is, rewrite the citation part or abstract part of the paper and break the paragraph matching of the duplicate checking system. For example, extract the quoted excerpts briefly into different sentences and form new paragraphs at the same time. When reconstructing a paragraph, we should pay attention to retaining the intention and important information of the original text to avoid loss or deformation.
