What this category's data looks like
In the academic journal manuscript initial review scenario, materials include submitted manuscripts, author information forms, and plagiarism check reports. The manuscript carries the main text, abstract, keywords, and references; the author information form records names, affiliations, authorship order, and dates; the plagiarism check report provides duplicated passages and their sources. When these materials enter the knowledge base retrieval and recall function, the manuscript and plagiarism check report serve as sources of candidate passages, while the author information form is used to verify whether the names, quantities, and dates of the same record match up. The update cadence advances with initial review batches; the same manuscript may be revised multiple times, and unsynchronized versions and missing signatures or receipts are common states. In terms of field characteristics, multilingual materials and terminology handling require the same term to be consistent throughout the entire text, translated names to be traceable back to the source text, and retrieval to cover both the semantic and full-text paths.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is executed by the knowledge base retrieval service (retrieval node and search test), outputting candidate passages and similarity scores (after pattern, merge, rerank, filter, and limit trimming). The "unified terminology glossary and comparison draft" is completed by subsequent nodes or manually; retrieval itself does not produce statistical tables, business documents, or authorization results.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Submitted manuscript | Whether the same term is written consistently throughout the entire text, and whether translated names can be traced back to the source text | In the knowledge base search test, test once each with synonymous questions, switch searchMode to compare the number of candidates and scores, then toggle usingReRank to see the ordering of the top few results |
| Author information form | The names, quantities, and dates of the same record do not match across the two materials; versions are not synchronized; signatures or receipts are missing | Extract three terms, check names, quantities, and dates item by item against the manuscript and author information form, and check whether signatures and receipts are complete |
| Plagiarism check report | Whether the citation relationship between duplicated passages and the manuscript main text can be traced back to the source text | Check whether the returned candidates include both semantic and full-text results, verify the tokens and array length of the cited text, and record the array length separately |
| Unified terminology glossary and comparison draft | Whether the glossary and comparison draft are generated by subsequent nodes or manually based on candidate passages | Use similarity and limit to observe the number of candidates and scores, and confirm that key passages of the source text are still retained after trimming |
Three common errors
- Symptom: The same term is written inconsistently in the manuscript and the author information form. Cause: versions are not synchronized, the two materials were revised separately without being merged, and retrieval candidates do not cover the latest wording.
- Symptom: The names, quantities, and dates in the author information form and the plagiarism check report do not match. Cause: the source was not verified when entering the same record, and missing signatures or receipts make it impossible to trace.
- Symptom: There are many candidates, but the ones ranked at the front are all irrelevant. Cause: the retrieval mode does not match the material form, multi-path merge is not followed by rerank secondary sorting, and similarity filtering and citation limit trimming are not tuned properly.
How to verify the setup
Acceptance of this function: test once each with synonymously rewritten questions, compare candidates and scores, then toggle rerank to see the ordering of the top few results; switch searchMode to observe whether semantic and full-text results appear simultaneously, and check the order changes before and after usingReRank.
Business testing: extract three terms to check whether their wording is consistent throughout the entire text, confirm that translated names can be traced back to the source text, and verify whether the names, quantities, and dates in the author information form, plagiarism check report, and manuscript match up.
