We know that there are always very strict requirements for academic papers. Whether it is academic ideas or technical methods, latecomers are always required to continue to innovate and practice. In academia, plagiarism is a very bad behavior .
For this reason, many professional institutions have developed many academic paper plagiarism check tools, so that latecomers can learn more from the achievements of the predecessors, rather than blindly plagiarizing and plagiarizing.
Of course, in recent years, many people have begun to reflect some disadvantages of the paper plagiarism checking tool . Due to the rigid machine review and verification, the final result of the plagiarism check is prone to some "oolong incidents". It is considered to be the existence of duplicate content. The emergence of these situations has made countless scholars and students very distressed.
Of course, the problem of plagiarism checking tools is just a worry after all, and the rampant academic plagiarism and very poor academic protection and monitoring mechanism are the most serious problems in today's academic circles.
The maturity of blockchain technology has provided a good solution to the problems that plague the academic world.
Record the research process throughout the process, transparent and open
Generally speaking, academic research will present the final research results in the form of papers. In the whole process, academic research is often a closed process, and the outside world generally does not understand the specific process. Academic plagiarism usually takes advantage of this opaque limitation to entrust the plagiarists with the final results of academic research, leaving others to be "dumb and eat coptis".
A transparent academic research process is a very favorable choice for all researchers. The specific division of labor, degree of participation, contribution, etc. can be verified and supervised by everyone, which can largely ensure that the final results of academic research will not be stolen by others. The blockchain is such a technology that can be fully transparent, verified and reviewed in real time. Using the blockchain will maintain the transparency of academic research to the greatest extent .
Information privacy protection to prevent confidential disclosure
Some people may say that some academic research content needs to be highly confidential, and the transparency of the blockchain is not suitable for these research topics. In fact, in the blockchain, transparency and privacy security do not actually conflict. The blockchain will encrypt and code the data to prevent data information leakage . At the same time, the consensus mechanism in the blockchain allows the data to maintain a high degree of trust, and authenticity verification can be performed even in the encrypted state.
This unique mechanism enables the content of academic research to be verified and reviewed even if it is in a confidential state that others cannot know. In the case of ensuring that confidential information will not be leaked, academic plagiarism can also be reduced as much as possible.
Smart contract query academic papers, fast and convenient
The smart contract in the blockchain has the characteristics of programmable and automatic execution. When the pre-coded contract rules and conditions are met, it can be completed quickly in a very short time. It is worth mentioning that the retrieval method in the blockchain is based on the specific content of the information . In this way, when someone needs to check or retrieve a paper, he only needs to upload the content of the paper or the retrieved content, and then he can quickly locate according to the content under the automatic execution of the smart contract.
If you are not satisfied with the final result, the queryer can also add specific functions to the smart contract by himself, such as avoiding rules such as citing documents when checking duplicates. Of course, the smart contract also inherits the transparency of the blockchain, and the rules in it can be viewed and verified, which also prevents some people from looking for rule loopholes in the smart contract to make a profit.
epilogue
Blockchain technology is a huge innovation and a huge opportunity for the academic community. With its unique advantages, blockchain also eliminates the bad atmosphere in academia, ensures that research results are not infringed, and allows many researchers to conduct academic research with more confidence, thereby promoting the further development of academia.
