2. What is a national periodical? Provincial periodicals?
Generally speaking, "national" periodicals are published by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council and their subordinate departments, or by China Academy of Sciences, China Academy of Social Sciences, and people.
Periodicals sponsored by major political parties and national people's organizations and periodicals sponsored by national professional societies. In addition, the publication clearly indicates the "national period"
Publications with the words "periodical" and "core periodical" can also be regarded as national publications.
"Provincial" periodicals, that is, periodicals sponsored by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government and their subordinate ministries, commissions, departments and bureaus, and periodicals sponsored by colleges and universities.
Journals sponsored by.
3. What is an academic journal?
Academic journals mainly publish academic papers, while non-academic journals mainly publish documents, reports, speeches, experiences, knowledge, etc., which can only be used as materials for academic research, but not as articles of papers. Because the selection of "General Introduction" is based on "a large number of articles published", "a large number of articles included" and "a large number of citations", it does not emphasize the boundary between academic journals and non-academic journals, and naturally there is no strict distinction.
Specifically, the summary is divided into academic and non-academic, mainly in two aspects: one is the nature of the journal, and the other is the purpose of the journal.
4. What is a CN publication?
The so-called CN publications refer to publications registered in China and publicly distributed in China. It is customary for people to say that the serial numbers of such publications are marked with the letter CN.
This is a Chinese publication.
5. What is an ISSN journal?
The so-called serial number publications refer to publications registered outside China and publicly distributed at home and abroad. The serial numbers of such publications are preceded by ISSN letters.
Now many magazines have CN and ISSN numbers.
6. What is a nuclear journal?
To put it simply, the core periodical is that the academic circles track and evaluate the periodical quality through a set of scientific methods, and it is based on the theory of information science.
On this basis, journals are classified and graded, and the most important level is called core journals.
Explanation of common nouns in periodical evaluation
In order to facilitate readers' reference and use, the theoretical significance and specific algorithm of periodical evaluation index used in the Annual Report of Comprehensive Citation of China Academic Journals (CAJCES) are briefly described as follows:
Total citation frequency: refers to the total citation times of all papers published by this journal since its inception in a statistical year. This is a very objective and practical evaluation index, which can show the extent to which the journal is used and valued, as well as its role and position in scientific exchanges.
Impact factor: This is an internationally accepted periodical evaluation index. It was put forward by E Garfield in 1972. Because it is a relative statistic, it can fairly evaluate and handle various periodicals. Generally speaking, the greater the impact factor of a journal, the greater its academic influence and role. The specific algorithm is:
Annual index: this is an index representing the immediate response rate of periodicals, which mainly describes the citation of papers published in the same year. The specific algorithm is:
Citation half-life: refers to how long it takes for the newer half of the total number of citations in that year to be published. Now give an example to illustrate its calculation method (taking Science 1996 as an example):
Note: Citation half-life and cited half-life are both indicators to measure the aging speed of periodicals. These two half-lives are usually not for a single document or a group of documents, but for the sum of documents in a certain discipline or professional field.
Source literature quantity: refers to the total number of papers published by source journals in the current statistical year, and is the source of data cited by statistical journals.
Thesis problem-solving skills
Put forward a strong theme. Your topic shows your intention: what are you going to elaborate or prove in your paper? The following types of topics may attract your (and professor's) attention:
Questioning misunderstanding. Challenge a generally accepted theory or something like "everyone thinks so" to prove otherwise.
Find a hidden connection. For example, explain literary concepts with scientific ideas, and vice versa. For example, the analysis of atomic structure in Bohr's theory provides another way to observe the relationship between Hamlet and the minor characters in the play. The idea is to help you find a new and surprising way to observe or think about a concept.
To clear the name of a "bad guy" in order to clear the name of a historical figure or literary image who is generally regarded as a "bad guy", the famous biologist Steve Jegould is a master in this field. He wrote: Lamarck, Bishop of Rome VIII-most people described him as an obstacle to scientific progress, but in fact he was the leader of surgical science at that time. Find out who or what your readers treat unfairly or maliciously (hint: I will avoid treating Hitler like this, no matter how well you write, no one will appreciate your efforts and regard Hitler as a good person).
Deconstruction of classic works by technology, social structure and culture of the times. Cinderella and Jane? What kind of woman does Emma described by Austin become in today's cooperative society? Newton and Julius? How would Caesar use an Apple notebook?
Ancient technological, social or cultural traditions reflect today's society. Julius. What would Caesar think of Jack? Will or Bill? Gates? Jane? What does Austin think of today's professional women?
Use your own experience as a resource. Using personal experience can make your paper vivid and clear-make you more involved in writing (who doesn't like to talk about themselves? )
Have a target audience in mind. Never write for your professor. Imagine that you are explaining your point of view to friends or family. Imagine that this article will be the cover article of Time, or published in an academic journal in the research field. Create a target audience for yourself, and you are writing for him. Papers can easily become boring articles, not only for your professors, but also for yourself. Only in this way can your writing not make people fall asleep, can you make the purpose of the article more clear, and can you improve the standard of censorship of the content (ask yourself: "If I explain this, do readers have any questions?" )。
Do a good job in investigation and research
Make a plan around the theme. You need to find out the point you want to make in your paper, and then conduct research and investigation around this point. You should write a plan first, which should include the progress steps of the whole research and the tasks to be completed (for example, find the 10 document before September 20th, and complete the preliminary research before June 15).
Use Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a very useful encyclopedia, suitable for finding facts quickly and getting a general understanding of a subject. So before we start our research, why not look at Wikipedia? However, it should be noted that wiki is not really suitable as a reference resource for academic papers, because it lacks detailed explanations of subject topics. So wiki is only suitable as a place for you to start your thesis. The core of a good academic paper is far deeper and wider than Wikipedia can provide.
Deal with only one argument at a time. Don't try to find your topic right away. Have a general understanding of the whole topic and make an outline of what you need to know. After that, deal with one argument at a time After completing the first draft, you can easily find the connection between the arguments.
Organize the reference books and resources used. This was added by milian himself. Bibliography and resources you refer to should be classified and stored. First, it is convenient for you to refer to it again. The second is that when writing reference materials at the end of the paper, it is no longer necessary to look for these resources repeatedly.
Ask the tutor and librarian. In addition to the endless stream of information on the Internet, you should not neglect the human resources you can use. Your tutor may wait in the office for a while, hoping that a student can barge in and ask a question worth discussing with you for a long time. Friendly librarians, most librarians are happy to help you find information related to your project. Some librarians can even find information that is difficult to find in a certain volume. So don't waste it ~ of course, don't forget to ask your classmates for help. Maybe all he knows is related to your topic.
Solve the problem of paper writing
Start early. Many people always wait until the deadline to worry, but they often disagree. At the beginning of the semester, the professor began to assign tasks in order to give you enough time to plan, research, write and check papers. If you use this time effectively, you can not only write a better paper, but also reduce the pressure, and you don't have to stay up late or go out to play before the deadline. So when you start school, you should make a good plan, such as two weeks of research, two weeks of writing, two weeks of drafting, and the remaining days for review and proofreading. When writing, you can set the number of words to be completed every day (500 words is feasible, usually less than an hour-a blog essay is about the same number), and set the ending part-the place where you stop writing that day should be the place where you can easily regain your thoughts when you start writing the next day to avoid the interruption of clues.
Outline of the article. The outline of the article can be said to be your mind map, a series of key points that your article will involve, the purpose of your discussion, and the general appearance of your finished work-even if your mind is clear, the first paragraph of the article can also be used as an outline to reveal the central content and see the writing context. No matter what form it takes, an effective outline can help you a lot. When writing, it can be used as a ruler to check the progress, as a reminder to help you determine whether the article has covered the main points you want to express when making an outline, and also to remind you when your thoughts are confused. A good outline makes your writing more flexible, and you don't have to stick to writing from beginning to end. If your idea is there and you have done enough research, you can write down the main points you have prepared first, which is much better than always thinking about page 7 and you haven't decided what to write, so I can't write down the questions on page 6 first. Finally, having a plan at hand can help you achieve your writing purpose, instead of "writing where you want to go so that you don't know what to say", which is exactly what many students are doing.
Start in the middle. The biggest problem faced by different writers in writing is that they can't figure out how to start. Instead of staring at an empty screen and looking at the retinal detachment and racking their brains to come up with a beginning full of awe, passion and far-reaching significance, it is better to skip the introduction at the beginning and go straight to the second paragraph. When you finish the latter part, you can always come back and write a paragraph and put it in the first paragraph-but you may find that there is no need to be so cautious. You will find that the first paragraph is often the weakest part of the article. Compared with other meaningful functions, it is more used as a warm-up for entering the theme.
Don't copy
Plagiarism doesn't just refer to extracting articles from the Internet-plagiarism refers to plagiarizing paragraphs from Wikipedia or other web pages without marking the source or enclosing the quoted parts in quotation marks, summarizing other people's arguments or using other people's data without marking the source, which refers to anything that appears in your article without marking it, and it doesn't belong to your original idea. Please avoid using other people's works in any way, even if it is yours. Even if the quotation is correct, try to minimize the use of other people's works. A paper with a series of arguments and explanations will never be a good paper if it lacks its own language. Even if your arguments and explanations come from well-formed reference articles or bibliographies, they are meaningless.
Avoid using Wikipedia. Wiki is not really suitable as a reference resource for academic papers, because it lacks detailed explanations of subject topics. So wiki is only suitable as a place for you to start your thesis. The core of a good academic paper is far deeper and wider than Wikipedia can provide.
Focus on communicating with the purpose of your article. Re-examine your article at least once, focusing on whether every sentence in the article has achieved your preset purpose, what do you expect readers to read from the article, how do you feel, whether every sentence can help you realize it and make readers fully understand it. Every sentence should lead the reader's thinking to your conclusion.
Proofreading proofreading. Proofreading is a job completely separated from re-examination, and it is the last thing you do before you make it clear that the article is "over". At this time, you should pay attention to grammar-make sure that every sentence has a subject and a verb, and they are collocated correctly. Correct all spelling mistakes, especially those that cannot be detected by word processing software. Make full use of the word processor, but this is only the beginning of the proofreading process, not the last step. A good technique is to proofread from back to front-look at the last word first, then the penultimate, then the penultimate, and so on. This can force your brain to pay attention to every word that is out of the order of the original article, which means that you can see what you really wrote without being disturbed by what you imagined to write in memory.
Make a summary. Don't confuse "summary" with "abstract". The last paragraph or two of the article should be the most exciting part of your argument. Don't repeat the same thing, just the main points in the article. You can explain your research findings, put forward your understanding of the data in the article, describe the prospect of future research, or point out the significance and importance of the facts in your article. The conclusion should be the strongest sound of the paper, not a weak summary and restatement.
