Writing skills of graduation thesis

First, the title design

Some students take the topic printed by the teacher as the topic, which is simple and convenient. In fact, there is a difference between the title and the topic selection: the title design should be attractive, but the topic selection does not need to consider this aspect. The first impression of the title of the paper should be carefully designed. It's like a man and a woman, so it's very important to dress well and try to give each other a good first impression. The theme of a paper is very important, whether it is interesting for people to read it. Whether the topic is attractive or not affects the tutor's evaluation of students' graduation thesis to some extent.

According to a topic, after the paper is written, there are three kinds of topics:

(1) The title is the title, which is simple and convenient, but it is often unattractive.

(2) The title is too big and the content of the article is too shallow. You can change the title to make the article more relevant. Otherwise, it can only enrich the content and increase the length of the article.

For example, the article "Exploration of Corporate Culture Construction in China" is divided into several stages from the introduction and review of the concept of corporate culture to the summary of the development of corporate culture theory and practice in China, and the characteristics and typical experiences of each stage are discussed, as well as a series of statistical data. The whole article has no opinion on China's corporate culture innovation. Obviously, the article is inconsistent with the topic, and it should be changed to "How do China enterprises build their own culture".

(3) After writing a paper around a topic, it is difficult to determine the topic, and then carefully determine the topic after the first draft of the article is completed. Most students usually use such titles as "On …", "Analysis …", "Exploration …" and "Preliminary Exploration …", which are unattractive and appear low-grade and rigid. I suggest using it as little as possible or not.

Second, the abstract of the paper.

It reflects the outline of the content, is the information material repeatedly spread in the literature retrieval database, and is a relatively independent part. Its writing should be standardized, concise and clear, and can generally express the purpose, content, method, result or conclusion of writing the paper without comments. Don't divide paragraphs, advocate omitting subjects and words in writing, don't use unknown foreign abbreviations, and use popular language. Generally, a paper of 4000 ~ 8000 words has an abstract of 100 words.

Third, key words

Each paper (between 4000 and 8000 words) has 3-8 keywords; Generally, a paper of about 5000 words has 3-4 keywords. Keywords are generally words that appear repeatedly in the theme or main points of the paper.

Four. Introduction or introduction (that is, the beginning)

This part is to guide readers to understand the paper, which is very important and must attract the attention of the author.

The introduction, that is, the beginning, can be used directly (straight to the point) and indirectly (citing a case or talking about an event). Generally speaking, it is appropriate for beginners to start writing papers in a direct way. Indirect introduction is difficult to grasp and easy to deviate from the theme. If it is not done well, it will not only fail to achieve the expected effect, but will ruin the whole article. No matter which way you start, the introduction part, that is, the writing at the beginning, should include the following parts:

(1) Why did you choose this topic? What is the significance of studying this problem? Sometimes it is necessary to briefly introduce the research status of predecessors;

(2) What theories and methods are mainly used in this paper (such as investigation and research methods);

(3) Introduce each part of the paper and the main contents of each part, so that readers have an overall impression of the paper;

(4) The contribution of the paper. In other words, what inspiration can you bring to enterprises or people by writing this paper, and what lessons can you learn from it.

Five, the writing of the text

The writing of text content and structure shall meet the following three requirements:

(1) The topic is focused and focused. A paper should focus on the theme and not be scattered, because after all, the space is limited, and the theme should be written deeply and thoroughly within the limited space. Consider what should and should not be posted. For example, the first draft of a paper for the graduating class of higher vocational marketing directed by the author last year has more than 1000 words, which is magnificent. However, the paper has the following problems: it only lists all relevant cases without its own language, and the content is too complicated to highlight the main topics.

At the same time, every part and paragraph of the article should have its own emphasis, and it is not allowed to cross and repeat. Many manuscripts edited by the author have such problems: the language is verbose and the content is repeated between parts and paragraphs.

Generally speaking, don't introduce this common sense. A paper should be less general and focus on the key points of the theme. For example, there is a paper on the institutional innovation of enterprise groups, which includes: what is an enterprise group, what is its function, how to form an enterprise group, and what problems to solve in practice. The topic focuses on the institutional innovation of enterprise groups, but it is not clear how to innovate.

(2) Integrate theory with practice. Economics papers must integrate theory with practice, and articles using a large number of cases are more vivid and valuable. Pure theoretical economics articles are of little application value unless they are innovative theories and reference books of a certain discipline. For example, a paper entitled "Research on the Strategy of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises" talks about the management strategy of small and medium-sized enterprises in general according to western theories, but does not study the present situation of small and medium-sized enterprises in China. Such an article has no value at all. It can only modify and enrich the status quo, and it must be a big part of this article.

(3) Smooth thinking and fluent language. Graduation thesis is not prose, so you can't write whatever you want. The contents of each part of the paper should be logically related and not separated from each other. The basic structure of the text paper is as follows: 1. Asking questions (current situation and existing problems); The second is to analyze the problems (citing a large number of cases to analyze why these problems exist and why); The third is to solve problems (countermeasures and suggestions). For example, the author's provincial project "sustainable development of county industry" has the following structure: 1. Conditions and existing problems of sustainable development of county industry (asking questions); Second, the sustainable development of county industry and the change of county industrial growth mode (the reasons for these problems are related to the extensive management of county industrial growth mode, and many cases are cited for analysis, and it is proposed that changing the growth mode is the way out to ensure the sustainable development of county industry); The third is the strategic conception of developing the sustainable development of county industry (countermeasures and suggestions). The three parts are closely related and discussed around the central topic.

Six, after the theory (end)

Dispensable, depending on the article. This part mainly puts forward the next research direction, or the enlightenment or reference that this article may bring to people. Very simple, just a few lines or sentences. Don't tremble and repeat the content in the article, otherwise it will destroy the integrity of the article. The author finds that many articles don't need an ending at all, and they repeat the content of the article with more than half a page, just to make up the number of words, which destroys the integrity of the article.

Seven. refer to

Reference is an important basis for judging the value of a paper. Attach the names and dates of periodicals, works, newspapers, electronic documents and other references when writing the paper, so that the writing of the paper can be standardized.

Periodical: author. Title of the article [J]. Title, year, volume (issue): page number.

Book: author. Title [M]. Place of publication: publisher, year of publication. Start and end page numbers.

Newspaper: the author. Article title [N] Newspaper name, publication date (edition).

Electronic literature: author. Article title [J/OL] or [EB/OL]. Website, date of publication or update.

In addition, when writing a graduation thesis, the serial number of the article is also standardized. For liberal arts, especially economics papers, their basic serial numbers are as follows: 1, 2, 3 …→ (1), (2), (3)→ 1, 2, 3 …→ (1), (2), (. If you write according to this basic serial number, the sense of hierarchy will be particularly clear after the graduation thesis is written. Even if the content of the article lacks hierarchy, it is easier to modify it.

In short, to improve the quality of students' graduation thesis, we must do two things well: first, follow certain ideas and do a good job in topic selection; The second is to standardize paper writing as required. This requires us to attach importance to the role of instructors, actively guide students to choose accurate topics, and standardize students' thesis writing in the process of guidance. Only in this way can students write high-quality graduation thesis.
