Some schools have word limits, but most of them have this kind of presentation for liberal arts papers. For example, the most meaningful things in scientific and engineering academic papers are charts, data and analysis obtained through experiments. Generally, when a science and engineering paper is written on 100 page (1.5 times the line spacing), it will be 40,000 to 50,000 words, even if there are many charts, it will be 30,000 words. So I think writing 40 thousand words should be enough. The graduation thesis of liberal arts depends almost entirely on language. If you finish your doctoral thesis, you may write half as many words as science and engineering. I heard that some schools also have a limit of not less than 80,000, 65,438+10,000.
