1. Review of copy ratio before dissertation defense

According to the provisions of the reexamination service of the knowledge network, the number of self-examination of the degree thesis college applying for the degree in the first half of 2024 is 2 times per person, and the specific rules of use are determined by the training units. In order to avoid the waste of resources, the office of the university only conducts a review of the degree papers that exceed the self-test of the training unit. At the same time, all training units must do a good job in the management of testing accounts, and it is strictly prohibited to test non-university degree papers. Units and individuals that test off-campus papers in violation of regulations and cause their school accounts to be banned will be held accountable.

    The reproduction ratio of doctoral and master's degree theses excluding published documents shall not exceed 15%. Among them, the paper test before the defense: 15%≤ the copy ratio of the dissertation text < 30%, the paper can be modified, after modification, it needs to be tested again, if it is still more than 15%, confirmed by peer experts, postpone the application for defense for half a year; 30%≤ the copy ratio of the dissertation text < 50%, after confirmation by the peer experts, postpone the application for defense for half a year; If the copy ratio of the dissertation is ≥50%, the applicant shall postpone the application for defense for one year after confirmation by the peer experts. If there is any objection to the test results, the individual shall apply and explain the reasons within 3 days after the results are issued. After being reviewed by the tutor, the tutor group and the training unit, the applicant shall apply to the Office for re-examination.

2. Normative review of dissertation format

    Dissertation is the unity of form and content, and the standardization of form is also an important factor in the quality of dissertation. Graduate dissertation writing should follow the Zhongnan University of Economics and Law Graduate Dissertation writing Standards and relevant national standards.

    All the doctoral and master's theses (excluding secret-related theses) applied for the degree in this semester should ensure that the form of theses is standardized and qualified before submission for review. Since the first half of 2021, the school has begun to trial the dissertation format detection robot to carry out formal normative testing of theses, and each training unit is responsible for urging students to complete it. The Graduate School will conduct a key sampling check on the final version of the dissertation, and those who fail to pass the sampling check will be suspended.
