There are the following skills for reference when writing:
1, aim at the mainstream. Mainstream literature, such as core journals, classic works, research reports of full-time departments, opinions and discussions of important compounds, etc. , is a "compulsory course" for literature review. Most of the related reports or comments in the mass media, though somewhat valuable, can be simplified due to the limited time and energy. How to find out the mainstream in this field?
2. By using the "periodical database search" of the school library, we can find some earlier classic documents.
This is the National Library. Some social science books published in the 1970s and 1980s or even earlier are often not collected in school libraries, but there are many national maps.
4. Organize at any time, such as classifying documents and recording document information and collection locations. It takes a long time to write a paper. Some documents may not be used at that time, but they can't be found afterwards, so sometimes it is necessary to record them. At the same time, for particularly important documents, you might as well make a reading note and extract important viewpoints and expositions. In this way, one step at a time, when I really started writing my thesis, I accumulated a lot of "dry goods" that I could enjoy at any time. 、
5. Organize literature review according to the problems. After reading some documents, we have a strong desire to state everything we see, like "spill the beans from the bamboo tube", which is magnificent and spectacular. It seems that I must prove to the readers that I have worked hard. I wrote a literature review of hundreds of thousands of words, and later found that only a few thousand words were really meaningful.

Writing requirements
1, cut to the chase, don't beat around the bush. Avoid long-winded narration of historical origin and research process.
2, concise, highlight the key points. We shouldn't talk too much about the common sense content familiar to our peers and in textbooks. When it is really necessary to mention other people's research results and basic principles, we only need to mark them in the form of quotations. In the introduction, when putting forward the work and opinions of this paper, we should make the meaning clear and the language concise.
3. Reviewing the history should be focused, and the content should closely follow the title of the article, introduce the background around the title and summarize it in a few words; Don't write out the methods and results and don't discuss them when prompting the methods used; Although the contents of past documents can be quoted appropriately, they should not be listed in detail, and the preface should not be written as the historical development of research; Don't write the preface as a small summary of the literature, let alone repeat the common sense content already in the textbook or known by researchers in this field.
4. Respect science and seek truth from facts. In the preface, we should properly evaluate the value of the paper, seek truth from facts and use scientific words. For the innovation of this paper, it is best not to use inappropriate self-evaluation such as "This study is the first report in China", "Filling the domestic blank", "High academic value", "This study has not been reported in China" and "This study is at the leading level at home and abroad".
5. The content of the introduction should not be the same as the abstract, so be careful not to use polite words, such as "a little knowledge", "limited level", "please correct me" and "throwing a brick to attract jade"; It is best not to discuss the preface in sections, not to illustrate and list, not to deduce and prove formulas.
