I. Literature review

Literature review is a style different from research papers, which is composed of understanding, sorting, comprehensive analysis and evaluation after graduate students read the literature of a certain subject in advance. The purpose of the review is to reflect the new level, new trends, new technologies and new discoveries of a certain discipline. From its history to present situation, existing problems and development trend, we should make a comprehensive introduction and comment. On this basis, I put forward my own opinions, predict the development trend of technology, and lay a good foundation for topic selection and opening.

Second, the format of literature review

The format of literature review is different from that of general research papers. This is because the research papers focus on the research methods and results, while the literature review introduces the detailed information, trends, progress, prospects and comments related to the theme. Therefore, the format of literature review is relatively diverse, but generally speaking, it includes the following four parts: preface, theme, summary and references. When writing a literature review, you can write an outline according to these four parts, and then write according to the outline.

The preface mainly explains the purpose of writing, introduces related concepts and definitions, outlines the scope, and briefly explains the current situation or focus of debate of related topics, so that readers can have a preliminary outline of the problems to be described in the full text.

The theme part is the main body of the summary, and the writing methods are diverse and there is no fixed format. It can be summarized in chronological order and compared from different angles according to different problems. No matter which format is adopted, the collected documents should be summarized, sorted, analyzed and compared, and the historical background, present situation and development direction of related topics and comments on these issues should be made clear. In the theme part, we should pay special attention to representative, scientific and creative references and comments.

The summary part, similar to the summary of the research paper, briefly summarizes the theme of the full text, puts forward my own opinions and predicts the further development direction.

Reference, because it not only reflects the respect for the author of the cited document and the basis of the cited document, but also provides a review clue for the reviewer. The arrangement of references should be clear, easy to find and accurate. Regarding the use of references, the recorded items and formats are the same as those of research papers, and they are not repeated.

Third, the provisions of literature review.

1. In order to make the topic report have sufficient basis, master students are required to make a literature review before opening the topic.

2. In the literature review, graduate students should systematically consult the domestic and foreign literature related to their own research direction. Usually read no less than 30 articles.

3. In the literature review, graduate students should explain the development history of their research direction, the main research achievements of predecessors, existing problems and development trends.

4. Literature review should be clear and concise.

5. Use data appropriately and reasonably. The document quotation is enclosed in square brackets "[]" and placed in the upper right corner of the quotation.

6. I have my own opinions and opinions on literature review. Encourage graduate students to find more problems, ask more questions, and point out possible ways to analyze and solve problems.

7. Literature review shall be no less than 3,000 words.

Fourth, matters needing attention

When writing a literature review, we should pay attention to the following questions:

Literature should be collected as completely as possible. Mastering a large number of comprehensive documents is the premise of writing a good summary, otherwise it is impossible to write a summary by collecting a little information casually.

3. Pay attention to the representativeness, reliability and scientificity of the cited documents. There may be similar views in the collected documents, and the reliability and scientificity of some documents are not the same, so we should pay attention to choosing representative, reliable and scientific documents when quoting documents.

3. Cite documents faithfully. Because the literature review has the author's own comments and analysis, it is necessary to distinguish the author's point of view from the content of the literature when writing, and not to tamper with the content of the literature.

4. References cannot be omitted. Some scientific research papers can omit references, but the literature review must not be omitted, and it should be the literature cited in the paper, which can reflect the whole theme and the author can read it directly.
