Doctor: It's reasonable to perform surgery on yourself.

Knowledge is priceless, but if knowledge is blocked by some people as a tool for profit, it is truly "priceless" and has no value at all!

Shi Lian took a deep breath: "Teacher is really like an idealist..."

...

After going through the tedious operation options, Shi Lian finally came to the manual interface of the online customer service.

"Hello, I am a student of Dr. Xu Qiu. My teacher requires you to make the paper "Diagnosis, Treatment and Prospects of Modern Respiratory Emergency and Critical Medicine Diseases" public for free and open the free download license to everyone!"

After a long wait, the customer service gave a reply: "Sorry, once the papers on the website are included, they will not be easily reduced in price or change the download method. Are there any other questions I can help you with?"

Shi Lian was stunned for a moment and emphasized: "My teacher requires open download!"

Customer service: "Do you want to download the paper for free? Sorry, even the author himself needs to pay a certain download fee-the pricing of our website has been carefully considered, and the most fair pricing is given after balancing the cost. Now it is a very favorable price."

Shi Lian was so angry that he called the headquarters of CNKI directly.

However, the answer he got was no different from before: even the author himself had to pay the download fee.

"Teacher!!" Shi Lian held the phone in anger and ran to Xu Qiu's office.

...

After hearing the whole story, Xu Qiu was stunned for a moment.

The author of the paper has no right to dispose of the paper?

Moreover, he had to pay more than 130 yuan to download it himself!

In theory, the author has absolute right to dispose of his own work. If CNKI wants to include Xu Qiu's paper, it also needs to obtain Xu Qiu's authorization.

However, the fact is that CNKI has not communicated with Xu Qiu at all, and even the unauthorized charging was accidentally learned by Xu Qiu from Shi Lian.

"Check my other papers." Xu Qiu suddenly thought of something and said.

Shi Lian also reacted and quickly opened CNKI to search for Xu Qiu.

As expected, except for this master's thesis defense, almost all of Xu Qiu's formal papers from bone reconstruction to today have been included in CNKI.

And the price of each article is not low.

The download fee for bone reconstruction is 17 yuan.

Even the research on the colon replacement bladder surgery of Mount Everest is included.

The price of the surgical course of palmar and finger regeneration, which has more than 120 pages, is as high as 40 yuan, close to the price of an issue of "Linhai Dayi".

"This price..."

Xu Qiu realized that he was treated specially after taking a glance.

Generally speaking, the fees for papers on CNKI range from a few yuan to more than ten yuan, with master's degree papers being 15 yuan and doctoral dissertations being 25 yuan.

Only a few papers with high gold content or signed by top professors will be sold at a high price of dozens of yuan.

Almost all of Xu Qiu's papers are included in CNKI, and all of them are individually priced.

Especially the latest one "Diagnosis, Treatment and Prospects of Modern Emergency and Critical Medical Diseases of the Respiratory System"... It actually reached a sky-high price of more than 130 yuan!

"They said that I have to pay for downloading it myself?" Xu Qiu asked.

Shi Lian whispered: "Yes..."

"Call them and I will come to negotiate with them in person."

Shi Lian hurriedly did so.

The call was quickly connected.

Xu Qiu spoke first, saying, "I saw that your platform has included my papers and works, etc. Who gave you the authorization?"

"Who are you?"

"Xu Qiu."

"Xu Qiu?" There was a crackling sound of keyboards on the other end of the phone, and it was obvious that the customer service was searching.

After a moment, the customer service was stunned for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and said, "You have so many papers?"

At first glance, the densely packed content on the page covered emergency department, hand surgery, neurosurgery, etc., a total of more than 20 pages.

The customer service stared at the search box for a long time, making sure that he was searching for a person's name, not an institution or publication, and then he was even more shocked.

Can a person write this?

"Wait, no, first author!"

The customer service screened it, and there were only a dozen papers with "Xu Qiu" as the first author.

He breathed a sigh of relief... This is right.

But the next moment, the corner of his mouth twitched again.

That's not right either. Even if he is not the first author, how could a person sign more than 20 pages of papers? There must be hundreds of them in total, right?

Moreover, the paper with Xu Qiu as the first author had no instructor and no other people involved. It was completed by Xu Qiu alone.

And the rest of the papers were basically supervised by Xu Qiu!

Is it reasonable for a doctor in his twenties to supervise hundreds of papers?

The customer service immediately realized that something was wrong...

Although Xu Qiu is famous, he is mainly famous among his peers and young people active on the Internet.

The customer service obviously did not know Xu Qiu, but after seeing the terrible number of Xu Qiu's papers, he also noticed a little abnormality, so he quickly contacted his superiors.

"Please wait!" The customer service's voice was a little high-pitched, and he left in a hurry.

...

HowNet headquarters.

In the office of the head of the network department, the person in charge Liu Heng was flipping through the recent complaint report with a gloomy face.

In recent years, the income of the HowNet database has become increasingly ugly.

Last year, the number of colleges and universities in Daxia exceeded 3,000, but the number of colleges and universities that purchased or renewed the academic database of CNKI was less than 100, a sharp drop of nearly half.

"Haha, the literature resources included in CNKI are extremely rich, and there is no rival in China. These colleges and universities have the ability to not subscribe to it!"

CNKI is as indispensable to Daxia academics as air.

No one in China who does scientific research can bypass CNKI. Finding information and checking for duplicates are all based on the CNKI database.

It is extremely expensive for individuals to purchase documents from CNKI separately, and the cost of checking for duplicates is as high as 800 to 1,500 yuan per article.

Most students write graduation theses in troubled waters. If they want their papers to pass, they usually need 2 to 3 checks for duplicates to achieve it.

In other words, every year, CNKI can harvest thousands of yuan from each student just by checking for duplicates, and the price paid by CNKI is just to search its database.

Therefore, CNKI has opened up the database license to all universities. The school can purchase a one-year license for the CNKI database at one time, similar to an annual membership.

During the annual fee period, everyone in the school can access the contents of the CNKI database through the campus network IP, and can download it for free without paying.

At first, this was indeed a measure that everyone was happy with.

However, the database pricing has gradually risen. In recent years, the price increase has exceeded 10% each year, and last year's increase was as high as 20%!

For example, Tiandu Normal University spent 2.2 million yuan just to renew the CNKI database last year!
