Wikipedia is the best thing, anyone in the world can write anything on any topic, so you know that you are getting the best information.

Steve Carell played Michael Scott in the comedy “Office” to praise the reliability of the sources of information on Wikipedia. Although many universities still do not allow students to use Wikipedia as citation data, it also proves that it is common to use Wikipedia as an academic research tool. The information on Wikipedia is so comprehensive that someone has simply built a website that claims to turn any entry on the wiki into a formal essay.

On this site called M-Journal, you simply type in the entry or paste the entry directly. Will get a paper automatically generated by the system, even the title of the paper will help you arrange, such as the system for Apple to arrange the topic is “Apple and modern society”, to Real Madrid is “How Real Madrid club changes behavioral science 》, you can also generate three reference formats for reference in MLA, APA and Chicago. Ok, although the title of the paper is very awkward.However, in fact, most of the content is just a summary of the development history of the research object, in fact, only the contents of the entry are slightly sorted out. The website does not support Chinese.

In addition, the website also provides a journal publishing function, don’t misunderstand, just fake the so-called “paper” into the journal, the function needs to pay, “Your teacher sees this” words It seems to imply that this is a cheating feature, but it’s more like a spoof of the site’s founders, because MSCHF behind M-Journal has also developed a “cheat” tool, a Chrome plugin called Netflix Hangouts can take Netflix The drama is disguised as a video conference interface, which is convenient for users to “fishing” during working hours.

Aside from the reliability of the paper, it is not unreasonable to use the M-Journal to systematically learn some professional terms. However, due to the openness of Wikipedia, the rigor of the above information is still lacking, as a reference for the paper. There are risks.
