Expand knowledge:
Generally speaking, there are strict requirements on the format of dissertations, especially master's and doctoral dissertations.
2. We believe that the standard dissertation should include three parts in format, including the front part, including cover, copyright notice page, Chinese abstract and keywords, English abstract and keywords, and table of contents. The main part includes introduction, text, conclusion and references. The last part, including thanks, the original statement of the paper, authorization description and related retrieval.
Supplementary knowledge:
1, front
1) cover
The cover is the outer surface of an academic paper, which provides proper information and plays a protective role. Cover is not necessary. If the academic paper is part of a periodical, book or other publication, there is no need for a cover. But if it is a dissertation, it must have a cover. The cover can include title (including subtitle), author's name, instructor's name, major and research direction, completion date, etc.
2) Copyright page
The copyright page is a copyright statement provided by the author, which reflects the respect of the collection unit for the author's copyright. The copyright page is usually placed on the first page of the paper, and you can see the copyright description when you open the cover.
3) Summary
Abstract is a brief statement of the content of the paper, without comments and comments. First of all, the abstract describes the important contents of the text in the most general and concise words; Secondly, abstracts usually do not include supplements, explanations or comments to the original text. Generally speaking, for a dissertation, the number of abstract words should not be too long. It is necessary to explain the purpose, content, methods, achievements and conclusions of this thesis in a limited space and highlight the innovation of this thesis.
Abstract includes report summary, indicative summary and report/indicative summary. The summary of the report is used to summarize the main points (especially the innovation points) of the original text and provide readers with a summary of quantitative and qualitative information in the original text. The content of the reportable abstract is described in detail, which basically reflects the main information of the text and can generally understand the text in the shortest time.
Indicative abstract is a kind of abstract that aims to show readers roughly the subject scope, purpose and method of the original text. Generally, it does not include specific data, methods, equipment and conclusions.
4) Keywords
Keywords are words selected from the inside and outside of academic papers to express the theme of the full text, which are used for document indexing. Generally speaking, keywords are non-standard natural words, but if conditions permit, you can refer to and choose the subject words (standardized words) in various vocabulary as keywords.
Content words with practical and retrieval significance can be selected as keywords. However, vague and general words, such as "research", "problem" and "overview", are not used as keywords. In addition, the keywords should be listed at the back of the abstract, and 3~8 keywords should be selected for each paper. Chinese and English keywords should be in one-to-one correspondence, respectively under the Chinese and English abstracts, and ";"should be used between keywords. Or ","separate.
5) Content
The table of contents is both the outline and the subtitle of the paper. Compile a table of contents, list the large and small items in each chapter in order, and indicate their respective page numbers, so that readers can grasp the logical pattern of the article and make it easier to read or choose. The table of contents should list the main chapter titles and subheadings (if necessary), but it is not necessary to give too many details.
