摘要 流行的文本匹配软件会生成一定的相似度百分比，称为“相似度分数”或“相似度指数”，它可以量化特定手稿与软件档案、互联网和电子数据库中的内容之间的匹配文本。许多评估者依靠这些简单的数字作为抄袭的代表，从而避免了检查详细显示匹配的较长相似性报告的繁重任务。然而，相似性分数虽然非常简单，但却不足以判断抄袭的存在（或不存在）。理想情况下，评估人员应始终检查相似性报告。然而，考虑到一些学术期刊和教育机构持续使用简单化的相似性分数阈值，以及依靠分数可以节省的时间，可以说需要一种鼓励检查相似性报告的方法，但在某些情况下仍然允许评估者选择依赖相似性分数。本文提出了一种四频段方法来实现这一目标。一起使用时，这些等级迫使评估者承认他们在依赖相似性分数时所承担的风险，但仍然允许他们最终决定是否愿意接受该风险。这些等级——最严格、高严格、中等严格和不太严格——应根据评估者的特殊需求进行定制。
ABSTRACT Popular text-matching software generates a percentage of similarity – called a “similarity score” or “Similarity Index” – that quantifies the matching text between a particular manuscript and content in the software’s archives, on the Internet and in electronic databases. Many evaluators rely on these simple figures as a proxy for plagiarism and thus avoid the burdensome task of inspecting the longer Similarity Reports that show the matching in detail. Yet similarity scores, though alluringly straightforward, are never enough to judge the presence (or absence) of plagiarism. Ideally, evaluators should always examine the Similarity Reports. Given the persistent use of simplistic similarity score thresholds at some academic journals and educational institutions, however, and the time that can be saved by relying on the scores, a method is arguably needed that encourages examination of the Similarity Reports but still also allows evaluators to choose to rely on the similarity scores in some instances. This article proposes a four-band method to accomplish this. Used together, the bands oblige evaluators to acknowledge the risk they take in relying on the similarity scores yet still allow them to ultimately determine whether they wish to accept that risk. The bands – for most rigor, high rigor, moderate rigor and less rigor – should be tailored to an evaluator’s particular needs.
