1, problem-oriented principle.

The main achievements of academic research are presented in the form of academic papers. In the process of academic research, there are many scientific problems, work problems and method problems to be solved, and an academic paper can only solve one of them.

When determining the topic of academic papers, we must adhere to the problem orientation. If you want to solve any problems encountered in academic research, you must know how to solve them before writing. Otherwise, if we don't know what we wrote, the reviewers will be at a loss after reading it.

2. Scientific principles.

Thesis is an academic thesis, a degree thesis for graduate students to apply for a degree, not a leader's speech or a thesis, so people must feel its academic value when they see the topic.

3. The principle of accuracy.

The titles of academic papers should accurately reflect the problems and methods solved, and should not be too broad or too general. Broad and general topics can only be said to be research fields or research directions, and cannot be used as topics for academic papers. The title of academic papers should focus on the essence and core of the problem and the ways and methods to solve it.

4. The principle of applicability.

The suitability mentioned here is mainly from the research fields and research methods involved in the topic selection of the paper to suit the author himself. There are many good topics, but not everyone can write them.

The topic of the academic paper you choose must be suitable for your subject and major, and the method to solve the problem must be skillfully controlled and mastered by you. If the title of the thesis doesn't match your knowledge accumulation, intellectual reserve and research experience accumulation, "everything is a cloud".

Topic selection method:

1, browse and grab method.

Through the rapid and massive reading of the occupied literature, the topic is determined by comparison. Browsing generally means browsing for a certain time when the data occupies a certain amount, which is convenient for centralized comparison and identification of the data. The purpose of browsing is to ask questions and find your own topic in the process of chewing and digesting existing materials.

This requires us to read and study the collected data comprehensively, to understand the main, secondary, different angles and different viewpoints, and not to be "preconceived".

You can't decide whether to accept or reject according to the original point of view in your mind, but you should calmly and objectively analyze and think about all the materials, absorb nutrition from the rich materials, and after repeated thinking and thinking, you will find something, and then determine your own topic according to your own reality.

2. Retrospective verification method.

This method requires students to have a preliminary idea or train of thought first, and then verify it through reading materials to determine the topic. Students should first have their own subjective arguments, that is, according to their usual accumulation, initially determine the scope of quasi-topics, and then verify whether their initial ideas or ideas are simple repetitions of others' achievements by reading others' achievements.

Whether it is complementary to others' views; If you still lack sufficient reasons to prove your original idea or idea, even though others have not talked about it and published the results, you should stop and rethink it.

We should be good at catching the bright spot of thought, grasping it and studying it deeply. When reading literature or investigating, there are sometimes some sparks of thought. Although this idea is simple, hazy and shapeless, we must not give up this "epiphany" idea easily. We must read and demonstrate it repeatedly.

3. Make a mountain out of a molehill.

Hu Shi, a famous scholar, advocates starting from a small topic. He said: "The smaller the topic, the better. You can get the training of making a mountain out of a molehill. Never make a big problem. "

The topics of graduate academic papers can be divided into big topics and small topics. Large topics can be large enough to require the cooperation of many graduate students, and small topics can be small enough to study specific work problems, or even small enough to determine an index and empower variables.

As long as the research is in-depth, new ideas, new methods and new ideas can be put forward, and small topics may also have a greater academic impact. On the contrary, small topics can write valuable big articles, while big topics are difficult to control, easy to write superficial and worthless.

4. Knowledge transfer method.

Through years of study and accumulation, I have a systematic understanding and mastery of the theoretical knowledge of the research field and research direction of this discipline.

However, sometimes the mature theories and methods in the research field and direction of this discipline may not be able to effectively solve the new problems that arise suddenly. At this time, we can learn from the theories and methods of similar disciplines and related disciplines, which is an extension and expansion of existing knowledge and an effective migration.

We often encourage students to read literature across disciplines, because when they understand and solve problems, they can use the theoretical knowledge and research methods of similar disciplines and related disciplines to perceive the rapidly changing environment, thus forming some new viewpoints. Appropriate migration will often stimulate students' creativity and pioneering thinking.

5. New wine in old bottles.

The innovation of academic papers is generally reflected in three aspects: solving new problems with new methods, solving new problems with old methods and solving old problems with new methods. The old bottle new wine method is to solve old problems with new methods.

Old bottle refers to a relatively old topic, that is, there have been many articles on the same topic, while new wine refers to relatively new ideas, theories or data and cases originally collected by the author through investigation.

Extended data:

Thesis is a big assignment for both students and teachers, and the basis of the thesis is the topic selection. If you want to choose a topic correctly and appropriately, you must first make clear the principles of choosing a topic, so that you can easily choose a topic that has certain academic value, conforms to your own interests, is suitable for personal research ability, and is therefore more successful.

The topic of graduation thesis can be very extensive, and the problems of various disciplines can be used as the topic of the thesis. Theory comes from practice and serves it, so the first thing to pay attention to in selecting scientific research topics is the combination of theory and practice. First of all, we should pay attention to the practical value of this topic, and the choice has practical significance.

The practical value of the paper means that the topics we choose should be closely related to social life and concerned by the public. This kind of problem reflects the focus and hotspot of people's life in a specific historical period and social stage, and is closely related to the general public.

Second, we should attach importance to the theoretical value of the discipline. It is said that we should pay attention to the practical value of the subject, but it does not mean pragmatism for quick success and instant benefit, nor does it mean that it must have direct benefits. As a graduation thesis, the form and content of graduation thesis are essentially different from the summary investigation report.
