The present application provides a method for publishing work in a network, including: obtaining, by an end-user device associated with a current user, a prior work file that is not published by the current user in a network, where the prior work file includes a digital signature of a prior author and a prior work; generating, by the end-user device and based on an operation of the current user, a new work file that includes the prior work, the digital signature of the prior author, and content added based on the operation of the current user; and publishing, by the end-user device, the new work file in the network. This solution ensures the prior work cannot be used out of context, and modifications to the prior work are easy to identify, thereby improving integrity and authenticity of a work propagated on the internet.
