Four principles of selecting topics for academic papers
The four principles for selecting topics for academic papers are as follows:

(1) Pioneering: problems that have not been specially studied or have been studied by predecessors, but have no ideal results and need to be further explored and studied, or there are differences in academic circles that need to be further studied and discussed;

(2) Advanced nature: master's thesis should be innovative and doctoral thesis should have creative achievements;

(3) the necessity of achievement: the topic should have a necessary background and be of practical benefit or academic value to the needs of practice and scientific development;

(4) Possibility of results: The content of the project should be scientific, the difficulty and workload should be appropriate, and the possibility of achieving results within a certain period of time should be fully considered.

The above requirements show that the topic of graduation thesis is not for giving, but for research. Only on the basis of a comprehensive grasp and in-depth analysis of ancient and modern research materials in the research field can we establish a topic that meets the requirements of the above four characteristics, thus laying a solid foundation for completing a high-quality graduation thesis.

Whether the topic is selected in combination with the tutor's existing scientific research tasks or independently, "information accumulation" and "finding problems" before the topic selection are all processes that graduate students must go through. Although the tutor has completed the above process, the tutor cannot replace the graduate student, which is a requirement for the independence of graduate study and research.
