A paper of 12000 words, how many words are there in each part?
The length of writing a paper depends on the requirements and can be considered from the following aspects.

1. Depending on the paper type. Generally speaking, different types of papers need different words. For example, the number of words in a master's thesis is usually around 30,000 words. Taking the introduction as an example, it is generally estimated to be around 6000-8000 words. The research background is about 800 words, the purpose and significance is about 500-600 words, the research method is about 300 words, the theoretical summary part is about 2000-3000 words, the main research content part is about 600 words, and the latest research trends at home and abroad are about 2000 words.

2. Ask the school for confirmation. Different schools have different requirements for the number of words in papers. Some schools require about 10000 words for undergraduate thesis, while others require about 15000 words. According to different word requirements, the number of words in each part of the paper should be increased or decreased appropriately, such as undergraduate thesis 1 000 words, general statement 1 000 words (including 500 words of literature review), current situation and problem description 2000 words, problem analysis 2000 words, countermeasure suggestion 3000 words and conclusion 500-800 words.

3. Construction according to the outline. Because the outline construction of the paper is conceived by considering the details of each part, the parts with more chapters in the outline of the paper should generally be elaborated in detail, but the overall layout strategy mentioned above should be followed. Don't write more where you are interested and have a good grasp, and write less when your theoretical knowledge is weak, so as not to cause structural imbalance.
