Chapter 183 Excellent Papers
The first semester of Lin Xiaofan's senior year is coming to an end.
The progress of the graduation project has come to an end, and the next step is to submit the thesis.
The graduation thesis of undergraduate students will be read by the teachers and professors of the laboratory in advance and then submitted to the school.
In Lin Xiaofan's laboratory, several undergraduates handed over their papers to Professor Zhang Zhendong for viewing. Zhang Zhendong is very busy, and the thesis requirements for undergraduates are very low, and no student will not be able to graduate because of the thesis, which is very different from graduate students.
Therefore, Zhang Zhendong did not read these papers at all and submitted them directly to the school. This is normal. For these papers submitted back to school, the school will also check the repetition rate in the paper system, commonly known as plagiarism checking.
Plagiarism check is to compare the paper submitted by the student with the paper in the paper database, and the part with the same word for more than a dozen words in a row is the duplicate part.
Because undergraduates are not strong in scientific research, many of the content in their papers are quoted from other literature, and the repetition rate is generally about 50%.
Therefore, Jinjiang University has regulations on undergraduate graduation theses, and the repetition rate of plagiarism cannot be higher than 75%, otherwise it will be regarded as plagiarism.
After Lin Xiaofan submitted his own paper, he continued to do experiments in his private laboratory. After his research during this time, there was finally a breakthrough in Yangzhi water purification.
As long as Lin Xiaofan continues to research, I believe that it will not be long before he will be able to produce useful results.
As for private jets, Lin Xiaofan did not make up his mind to buy them after all. This money has made Wei Kun fall to the point where he is now, if Lin Xiaofan uses this money to buy a private jet and covet enjoyment, what is the difference between him and Wei Kun?
Lin Xiaofan has been thinking about this problem for the past few days, and this is the first time he has thought of using the money to do something more meaningful and valuable.

Zhang Qingbo is a professor at Jinjiang University. Most recently, he has been in charge of reviewing undergraduate theses.
The plagiarism check of the graduation thesis is reviewed by the plagiarism checking system, and only all the papers need to be entered, and the workload is not large.
But Zhang Qingbo also has a task, that is, to select a batch of outstanding graduation theses among these papers. This requires him to read carefully one by one, and it is a lot of work.
Zhang Qingbo has a trick, that is, to look for excellent papers among the papers with low plagiarism check rate. The low repetition rate indicates that the paper has little content to draw on, has its own unique understanding and ideas, and has a high degree of originality.
The high repetition rate indicates that a large number of other people's papers and literature have been borrowed, and this kind of paper cannot be rated as an excellent paper.
Zhang Qingbo reviewed a batch of papers in the Department of Biology with a plagiarism checking system, and 20 of them had a repetition rate of more than 75 percent.
The repetition rate of these papers is more than 75 percent and less than 80 percent.
However, there was a paper in it that caught Zhang Qingbo's attention. The repetition rate of this paper is as high as 95%!
Ninety-five percent, this is no longer a reference to literature, but plagiarism!
Other unqualified papers can be returned for students to revise, but this kind of plagiarized paper has an extremely improper attitude, how can such a graduation project pass?
Zhang Qingbo took a look, the author of this paper is Wei Kun, a biotechnology major, and the graduation project was completed in the second laboratory of the microbiology laboratory. Zhang Qingbo felt that it was necessary for him to go to that laboratory to find out the situation.
In addition to these unqualified papers as well as this plagiarized paper, there are dozens of papers with a repetition rate of less than thirty percent. All papers will cite some literature and other people's papers, so the repetition rate is less than 30%, which is already a highly original paper.
Zhang Qinghui selected five papers among them and selected them as excellent graduation theses.
At this time, a paper with a repetition rate of only 5 percent caught Zhang Qingbo's attention.
"Five percent, why is it so low?"
Five percent, which means that except for some academic concepts, definitions, and the like, all of the content in this paper is original, which is almost impossible to appear in undergraduate papers, even in graduate theses, which is rare.
There are two situations with such a low repetition rate, one is that the paper is extremely poorly written, which is completely made up and illogical, so the repetition rate is low. The other situation is that the paper is very insightful, my understanding is very deep, and the originality is extremely high.
With this kind of question, Zhang Qingbo clicked on this paper.
Just after reading the beginning, Zhang Qingbo was surprised, this is definitely not a made-up paper, that is to say, this is a highly original paper!
Although Zhang Qingbo is not a professor of plants and does not have a deep understanding of plant polysaccharides, he is a professor after all, and he doesn't think he will not be able to understand the undergraduate thesis in front of him.
However, the more Zhang Qingbo looked at it, the more surprised he became, from the perspective of doing experiments, the experimental method of this paper was very innovative, and it can be said that it made full use of various experimental instruments to achieve the effect he wanted.
Moreover, the final conclusion is also very insightful, which shows that the author of this paper has a deep understanding of plant polysaccharides and is very far-sighted.
After reading the paper, Zhang Qingbo found that he actually didn't understand a few things, he was not a professor of botany after all, and this paper was obviously beyond the scope of knowledge of undergraduate papers. Many graduate students can't write such an excellent thesis.
Zhang Qingbo glanced at the author's name. The author of this paper is called Lin Xiaofan, and Zhang Qingbo found that this person and the person who plagiarized just now are actually in the same major and the same class.
Lin Xiaofan, Zhang Qingbo has the impression that they are the directors.
This paper is from the Third Laboratory of the Plant Laboratory, which is the laboratory of Professor Zhang Zhendong.
Zhang Qingbo and Zhang Zhendong had a very good personal relationship, and he decided to discuss the paper with Zhang Zhendong. Although Zhang Zhendong has a bad temper, in terms of academics, he is definitely a big-name professor.
Zhang Qingbo came to Zhang Zhendong's office.
"Qingbo, why do you have time to come to me?"
Zhang Qingbo: "Zhendong, Lin Xiaofan is a graduation project done in your laboratory. I'm here for his thesis. ”
"Lin Xiaofan, what's wrong with his paper? It can't be that the duplicate check is unqualified, right?"
Zhang Zhendong thought that Lin Xiaofan's paper was unqualified.
Zhang Qingbo shook his head: "It's not unqualified, but very good, his paper is well written, but after all, I don't study plants, and there are a few places that I can't understand." ”
"Lin Xiaofan's thesis is very good? Doesn't he like to make movies? He makes good movies, but in school, this is not a serious job. Can he write a good paper?"
Zhang Zhendong didn't quite believe Zhang Qingbo's words.
