First, the preliminary preparation of the thesis
The thesis does not start after the completion of the research work, but runs through the whole research work. Thesis writing should not be regarded as a summary when the research is completed, but should be laid out during the research process. In the process of research, the generated data should be sorted out in time to meet the requirements of the paper. For the conclusion, we should synthesize it in time and link it with other conclusions to provide material for the paper. For the production of charts, we should consider the use form in paper writing and make them according to the requirements of paper writing. This will not only make the research more clear, but also provide material for the later paper writing.
Before writing, you need to read a lot of documents, but you should pay attention to ways and means in everything, and you can't read all the documents in the same way. As for the literature to be read, Shi Min has this view: 50% of the literature you want to read is useless to yourself, 40% is literature that has little contribution to your writing, and the remaining 10% is valuable and worth reading carefully. By reading the abstract, 50% of useless documents are directly eliminated without detailed reading. For 40% documents with little value, you can browse quickly and find what you need. Finally, 10% key documents need to be read emphatically and repeatedly.
On the basis of reading a large number of documents, we should put forward our own views. We should focus on discussing the results and opinions in relevant literature at home and abroad, and show our own views, especially the opposing views. For unexplained phenomena, we need to analyze, and for possible wrong results, we need to modify the scheme. Materials are the foundation of research, ideas are the basic innovation and soul, and words are just external expressions. Materials and words are content, and words are just form. The main body of the paper is the content, but the content is expressed in words. Only by combining the two perfectly can an excellent paper be written.
In the process of reading an excellent document, we should not only refine the excellent ideas mentioned in the document, but also learn the writing structure and methods of the document. A standard document includes title, signature, abstract, key words, introduction, text, conclusion, thanks and references.
Second, the thesis writing:
(A) the overall process of thesis writing:
Organize research results.
Filter the results and determine the selling point.
Create a frame, plan a chapter, choose a title, and expand it briefly.
Write the main part.
Revise and rewrite the introduction repeatedly.
Write the first part.
(2) Writing of the topic
Title is the reader's first impression of the article and the first element of search. So choosing a topic is very important. The title should be able to summarize the content of the article and reflect the level and value. An excellent topic can be an abstract, and the logical combination of words that can reflect the characteristics of the paper should reflect the essence of the article or arouse the curiosity of readers.
Excellent topics should be specific, accurate and concise. Don't use function words that have no definite meaning. The title should be a high summary of the article.
(C) the writing of the abstract
The purpose of writing an abstract is to provide an outline of the paper, which itself is a highly concentrated paper. To fully reflect the highlights of the research, we should have as much main information as the paper, that is, we can get the necessary information without reading the full text. When writing, be concise, focus on stating problems and important results, forget the details of methods, avoid general statements or details, use technical terms as much as possible, use pure text format, and do not use formulas or tables.
(D) Keyword writing
Keywords, not keywords. The main purpose of setting keywords is to compile indexes and assign reviewers. Therefore, when writing keywords, you must use technical terms, and don't use too broad words, such as research and investigation. In addition, in order to be universal, we should avoid uncommon words and customary words. Generally speaking, there are no more than five keywords.
(5) The writing of introduction
The purpose of writing an introduction is to let others know what problem you have solved. Orientation means that your peers can understand what you have done and evaluate your contribution. The core task is to define a clear, necessary and useful question. In addition to mentioning the background and present situation of the field, the most important task is to ask questions and give solutions under such background and present situation. There are three common ways to ask questions The first way is to question the basic assumptions of the existing work, make radical efforts, deny conclusions by denying assumptions, and create space for your own views. The second is to study the neglected aspects and raise new questions. The third is to reveal the gap in the existing work and study the role and possible contribution of oneself in this gap. In the process of writing the introduction, we should pay attention to the following points:
1. Explain what commentators want to see.
2. Use industry terms, express accurately and intuitively, and avoid using formulas.
3. Don't introduce common sense, don't mention details.
4. The background is concise, the problem is clear, the background is weakened, and the problem is highlighted.
5. Euphemistically analyze the existing work and connect all the working logics in series to form a complete logic chain.
(VI) Main writing
The main body of the paper mainly tells readers how they studied and how they came to a conclusion. There are three common manifestations: system, algorithm and proof. Generally speaking, we should follow the following four principles:
1. From top to bottom, the main line is clear.
2. Divide these chapters into several layers.
3. Use charts to be intuitive and clear.
4. isolate the details and highlight the key points.
The main part of the paper accounts for most of the total length, which is usually long. If you blindly use text description, readers may lose interest in continuing reading. In order to make readers interested in reading the full text, a certain number of charts are needed. Using icons can make ideas or evidence more interesting, intuitive and concise. In the process of using charts, we should pay attention to clear and concise charts and highlight key data. Not all data display effects are the same. The chart also needs to be self-evident, that is, readers can get the information expressed in the chart without reading the text analysis. In addition, when using charts, we should pay attention to the key points, shield the details, try not to use other people's charts, and don't use too many charts, which will make the article appear frivolous and have no deep thinking.
(7) Compilation of summary
Summary is the summary of the whole article. The standard summary shall include:
1. Completion of the target
2. Explain the research results, and conduct synthesis, reasoning and induction to reflect the internal relations of things.
3. By comparing with other research results, the possible reasons for the new results are put forward.
4. Analyze the shortcomings of this study, and put forward the problems to be solved and the direction of future efforts.
5. Discuss the application value and impact.
Third, summary.
This paper discusses in detail how to write an excellent paper, emphasizes the problems that are easy to appear in writing, gives suggestions on excellent writing habits, and gives some feasible writing suggestions to scholars engaged in academic writing. By using the above methods, the author's views can be clearly expressed, the readers' understanding depth can be increased, and the essence of the author's research can be accurately expressed.
