(1) paper title
Check the title of the paper carefully again. Some people say, how is it possible that even the topic of the paper needs special inspection! Not to mention, some Maha students can write the title of their graduation thesis wrong!
Take the master's thesis as an example, the title of the thesis needs to appear in the following positions: cover, degree application page, abstract (in both Chinese and English) and text header (the text header of some school papers may be subject to chapters). Carefully check whether the thesis topics of these positions are consistent.
(2) Abstract of the paper
Basically, it can be said that many reviewers read the abstract of the paper first after getting it, which shows the importance of the abstract. When the paper is finalized, check the abstract again mainly in several aspects: make sure there are no typos in the abstract! Put an end to spoken words! The language should be as concise as possible and the words should be appropriate. The main points are consistent with the conclusions of the paper, but it should be noted that the abstract cannot be completely consistent with the conclusions of the paper.
(3) Research significance and content.
Check again whether the description of the research significance can correspond to the research work carried out later. Don't write words like "significant" at will, but pay attention to the rigor of words.
Check whether the research content is consistent with the following text, and don't appear that the first chapter lists four research contents to be carried out, but there are only three in the text.
(4) Innovation
Although in the process of thesis evaluation, there are indeed scoring items about the innovation of the thesis, generally speaking, a master's thesis usually doesn't have much innovation! Therefore, it is inappropriate for some students to list four or five innovations in their papers.
(5) Achievements made
All the achievements you have made during your degree study must be checked again to avoid omissions or mistakes.
Check the "results and analysis" and conclusions of each chapter of the paper.
Carefully check the results and analysis contents of each chapter of the paper, because these contents are the core part of the paper research and cannot be sloppy. Every conclusion we draw should be well-founded. Scientific research is a rigorous matter. "What is there is what" and "Nothing is nothing". We can't speculate and speculate, let alone imagine! In the process of analyzing and studying the phenomenon, we should also pay attention to the citation of references, which must be corresponding.
The conclusion of each chapter should be absolutely consistent with the conclusion of the final paper, and the "conclusion is correct" should be guaranteed. This is the key point to check when the paper is finalized.
Read through the full text
Please read the full text patiently and calmly before finalizing it, or you can ask your classmates to help you read it through to avoid the following problems:
(1) Eliminate formatting errors
When checking the final paper, we should carefully check the full text format according to the paper format requirements, including font, font size, title, line spacing, paragraph, indentation of the first line, chart specification, correct punctuation and other details. Strictly speaking, as a master's research paper, there should be no obvious format errors.
(2) put an end to typos
Put an end to typos in the full text. Generally speaking, the master's thesis is about 60 pages, and the doctoral thesis is generally more than 100 pages. When students write this kind of paper independently for the first time, it is inevitable that there will be typos. The typo will be very eye-catching in the paper and have a great negative impact. When finalizing the draft, you must carefully check and correct it!
(3) put an end to the complexity and redundancy of language
As a scientific paper, we must try our best to ensure that the sentences are concise, the words are professional and standardized, the writing is smooth, the paragraphs are coherent and consistent. Some students have not formed a good habit of using scientific and technological language when doing their graduation thesis. There are still many colloquial words in the master's thesis, which are repeatedly described and the language is too redundant, so we should try our best to eliminate them.
04 conclusion
No matter what stage the graduation thesis is at, it is not easy to finish it. This is especially true for master's thesis and doctoral thesis. In recent years, the examination of dissertations is getting stronger and stronger, and the requirements are getting stricter and stricter! The proportion of blind evaluation is getting higher and higher! It is a good thing from the perspective of strictly ensuring the quality of the paper! Students should set high standards for themselves at school. For master's and doctoral dissertations, we must do our best to do every detail as much as possible!
Whether it's a blind review or a clear review, in fact, your efforts are visible to serious reviewers!
In particular, the above are just some matters needing attention when finalizing the paper. There are still many places to pay attention to in the process of thesis writing. The final quality of the paper depends on the actual preparation at ordinary times, so I won't introduce it in detail here.
