1, the topic should be based on interest.

When writing a paper, if the professor doesn't specify what kind of topic to write and needs to choose a topic by himself, then the author must first consider that he must have a strong interest in the selected topic and be willing to do more in-depth discussion.

The simplest reason is that the author has to spend a considerable period of time to contact and study this problem, from reading and searching for information to analyzing and writing. If he is not interested, he will get twice the result with half the effort.

2. Be prepared for the selected topic.

People who do academic research must understand the appropriate background of the topic. Before writing a paper, although the author does not necessarily need to be fully proficient in the selected topic, he must make appropriate preparations. Pay attention to whether the topic involves foreign languages. If you don't have a good foundation in the foreign language of the research topic and only know the characters of your own country or region, you can't collect all the information.

Then the viewpoint will naturally become narrow, and the difficulties encountered in the research will inevitably increase. In addition, the research of modern social science and natural science needs appropriate research tools, such as statistical methods. It would be thankless to engage in the research of such statistical survey data without proper training.

3, the topic should be practical, not vague.

Don't be vague and unrealistic when choosing a topic. If the topic is too vague, the concepts are easily confused, and it is not easy to draw a clear conclusion and find the key points. The result must be meaningless, aimless and useless. This kind of paper is not mentioned in modern science, but it is of little value to the research itself, despite the hype.

In addition, some topics are often not worth spending time on. We often hear "make a mountain out of a molehill", and there is no need to make a mountain out of a molehill about some small topics, especially things that are well known to women and children; But when it comes to overthrowing the axiom known to women and children, it is not only necessary to make a mountain out of a molehill, but also worth doing something special.
