  This is my idea. First, act according to market principles and respect knowledge. He uses the respect knowledge of others, and others use his knowledge to respect knowledge.

This is conducive to the development of social sciences, the spread of social sciences, the implementation of our intellectual property policies, the implementation of the strategy of innovation power, and our country Can develop faster.

  [Explanation] As far as I know, doctoral dissertations and master's dissertations are published on CNKI, and the author himself can only get a maximum of 100 yuan in cash and a 400 yuan face value retrieval card as the author's remuneration.

But every time an author’s paper is downloaded on CNKI, the platform will charge 15 yuan/book or even 25 yuan/book.
