Lead: I believe many students will encounter some doubts in their thesis writing. The following are the problems I shared in my thesis writing, hoping to help you. If these questions are not what you want to know, please pay attention to the paper network, where there are more exciting information.
Problems in thesis writing Part I: 1. How to cancel the header and footer?
Answer: 1. Double-click the position of the header or footer to automatically bring up the toolbar. Delete the contents of the header and footer, and then close the toolbar.
2, format-style and format, on the right side of the article, find? Please select the format to apply? Look in the drop-down box? Header? Click? Header? The drop-down button on the left, click Delete.
2. How to cancel the page number?
A: Double-click the page number, select it and delete it.
3. How to add page numbers from the third page?
A: (1) Move the cursor to the beginning of the second page and click? Insert-Delimiter-section break Type-Next Page-OK? . (2) Move the cursor to the beginning of the third page and repeat step 1. (3) Move the cursor to any position on the third page and click? Insert-Page Number-Format? , choose from the format? Page number-starting page number? For 1, click? Are you sure? Exit (4) Double-click the page number on the third page to display the header and footer toolbars. Link to the previous one? Click the gray button, click? Are you sure? Quit aims to disconnect the page numbers of each section from those of the previous page, so that the page numbers of the first two pages can be deleted. (5) Delete the first and second page numbers.
4. How to add an annotated corner marker?
A: Write first? [ 1]? , and then select it, and press shift, ctrl and+at the same time.
5. How to write the numbers after ① ⑨?
Answer: 1. Enter 1 1 in word first, and then click Format-Chinese Layout-circled characters.
2. Use the circled character command to input first? ①? , and then press? Shift+F9? Key combination,? ①? Show as a shadow? {eq oac(○, 1)}? , we can edit this field at will and put? 1? Change to? 999? , and then press [Shift+F9] to see if the characters are a bit too big. That's all right. How about a little adjustment? 999? The font size of, and then switch to see if it has changed. All characters in field code brackets () can set the font size and font like other characters.
Through the menu? Format? Font character spacing? , set up? Zoom? Zoom to adjust the flattening of the font (if you don't want the outer circle to be a perfect circle, you can adjust it here), adjust? Distance? Click-in makes the distance between characters wider or shorter. Location? Used to adjust the position of characters up and down in a line.
Through this setting, as long as you want to get the circled characters, there is nothing you can't do.
Problems in thesis writing Part II: 1. What is the most important thing in clinical trial research?
The most important thing in clinical trials is to fully consider the trial design. Many good research sites are not suitable for the control group when designing the experiment, and the experimental data can't waste time and cost, but they don't get the expected results. The setting of the control group needs to be coordinated from all aspects to avoid all potential factors interfering with the research results as much as possible.
2. How to choose statistical methods to analyze test data?
The analysis method of test data depends on the initial research and design scheme. Before the test begins, it is necessary to make clear the research purpose, formulate the appropriate test design and determine the main end point before the test. When the experimental design is uncertain, you can seek professional advice.
3. Is the length of the paper as long as possible?
No, on the basis of scientific English writing, the language should be as concise and easy to understand as possible. After writing the article, revise it repeatedly and express it in the shortest sentence possible. Some SCI journals are limited to 2500 ~ 3000 words, and articles that are too long may be rejected immediately; For my published works, when I quote them again, I can write? Described elsewhere, described before? Wait; The description of basic methods can be quoted in other languages to reduce the number of words; For the requirements? Short? Do you have to? Dragon? You can attach files to the content, don't pursue it too much? Short? If it can't be deleted, it will be made into an attached file if it exceeds the word range. There are several important principles for reference: in the background introduction, the content of your research hypothesis should be long enough; Discard the content that has nothing to do with the research goal and is too broad; Methods PCR, WB, cell culture and other mature technologies were briefly summarized. Specific technology, independent creative means and key design must be introduced in detail; In the result, descriptive content that has been presented through the table can be omitted; Logical recursive results, key results and unexpected results must be thoroughly stated; The discussion part is similar to the background introduction, and there is no progressive content, all of which are discarded; It takes a long time to closely relate to the results, explain and compare the differences between different studies, and establish inferences. In addition, for periodicals that need to charge a page fee, shortening the length as much as possible can save the page fee.
4. Can I publish a paper if I don't want to do experiments?
Of course. 1. You can study and read excellent papers of high-end journals, find mistakes, and write letters to the editor-in-chief of journals; 2. Read relevant documents comprehensively around the professional fields of interest, and establish a scientific research knowledge system around personal interests; 3. When encountering a novel or a special case, you can write a case report; 4. Write a summary; 5. Meta-analysis of important research.
5. Encounter a rare case and want to publish it as a case report? Does it fit?
Case report describes abstract disease manifestations and diagnosis and treatment process through vivid case records and descriptions. The most important thing about the case report is that it is instructive to the clinic. Just? Rare? No? Rare? Even others have no chance to see it at all, so it is of little significance to publish it. Case reports need to be written into concise and fascinating stories to attract readers to read. Because case reports are rarely cited by other authors and papers, the proportion of cases published in major journals has been controlled to some extent. Before submitting a manuscript, it is necessary to clearly understand the case reports received by the target journals.
6. Submission of Chinese periodicals in China was rejected. Is there still a chance to vote for low-scoring SCI?
Domestic Chinese journals sometimes have higher requirements, and their interest in research is not necessarily the same as that of foreign low-scoring SCI journals, so don't be discouraged after being rejected, and you can try to switch to low-scoring SCI journals. There are also many successful cases in this situation.
7. Is the first writer ok? Copy? Do you imitate or refer to other people's articles to write articles?
For the first author, copy? Inevitable, but? Copy? It takes skill. The writing format of research articles of the same nature is similar, so is the format ok? Copy? . Can common sentence patterns be flexible? Copy? Use and change sentence patterns and vocabulary appropriately. Some descriptive and conclusive sentences should be expressed and summarized in your own language when reading. But never copy the original sentence you don't understand.
8. Does the sample size of clinical trials affect the research results?
Yes, before the test begins, the sample size should be determined according to the main end point indicators and design types. If the sample size is too small, the result error is too large and the effectiveness is not enough. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the appropriate sample size in the experimental design. Although the sample size is too large, it has little effect on the analysis of the end point index, but the time and cost consumed in the whole research process increase.
9. When do you need a pretest?
When you are not sure about the sample size or the level of other variables tested, you need to make a pretest. Pre-test is required for each test link. For example, in the animal experiment of drug intervention, when the blood drug concentration of the best therapeutic effect of the test drug is uncertain, multiple pre-tests can be conducted to determine the best dose.
10. How to organize the paper framework? What is the focus of writing?
Every article is an article? Stories? To tell a wonderful story, we need to explain four important questions: why (why), how (how to proceed), what (what is the result) and what (what is the meaning).
1 1. What should I do if I write an article without flowery words?
Try to use words that you are familiar with, and don't use words that don't understand semantics. There is no need to deliberately use gorgeous, rarely used or uncommon words in writing papers. It is most important to express yourself clearly and concisely. For authors with limited vocabulary, they can read high-scoring articles in this field extensively and deeply and summarize common expressions.
12. Can abbreviations be used in scientific papers?
Abbreviations are forbidden in scientific papers, such as: It? S necessary to ... isn't it? It turns out that this is not the case ... these changes don? Test the impact ... and so on.
13. How to write an article to arouse the interest of reviewers?
There must be attractive topics, clear summaries and beautiful charts. These three are the key to the fate of the article. In fact, most reviewers' review methods are to quickly read the title, abstract and figure of the article. If these three items are not satisfied, the article is basically over.
14. does the title of the article need to highlight the innovation of the research?
Try not to have words like novelty and novelty in the title, and don't be too long, concise and powerful. The purpose of writing scientific articles is to report new progress, if there is no need to publish the research results. In addition, the reviewer will not think that your article is innovative just because you have written a new one, and sometimes it will be counterproductive, which will make the reviewer feel that you are challenging his experience and IQ, so he will focus on finding the places that are not novel in the article.
15. What kind of topics are more attractive to periodical editors?
Topic selection is the first place for journal editors to read papers, which determines whether the articles have the opportunity to be sent to external review or rejected immediately. Therefore, the topic of the paper must attract people's attention. It is more advantageous to be concise, but it is necessary to summarize the main research contents and point out the titles of the main findings in the research. You can compare several topics, choose the simplest one, and ask your peers or authors for help.
16. Is abstraction important? What do you need to include?
Some editors only read the abstracts of papers, so the abstracts need to fully express the main research points. What do you usually summarize? What is the current research progress in this field? 、? What is the purpose of this study? 、? What's new in this study? And then what? The importance and significance of these findings? .
17. How many words should be written in the abstract?
General journals require the number of abstract words to be about 250 words, because this is the maximum number of words that can be presented on the retrieval page of general literature retrieval websites (such as PubMed).
18. If the test result is negative, can I publish my paper?
Domestic journals usually don't accept negative results, but English journals are more likely to accept negative results. So the discussion part of the paper is very important. Read more peer literature, find evidence to support your research results, and put forward the hypothesis of negative results.
19. Which statement is better for the chart in the article?
Regarding the selection of charts and tables, we can use charts as much as possible, including various statistical charts. Graphics are more intuitive, and tables are usually numbers, which are not easy to read and understand.
20. Is the chart clear?
The chart should not be blurred. In the review stage, charts and words are generally separated, charts and tables are one page, and charts will be enlarged to A4 paper size. This requires high quality graphics, preferably vector graphics. If it is not a vector diagram, it requires high resolution, and it is best to enlarge and print out the preview effect first.
2 1. How to write the discussion part of the paper?
The focus of the discussion part is to answer the questions raised at the beginning of the study, explain whether the study can completely answer the questions raised, and give reasons and possible assumptions.
22. Is there a simple way to input references?
References and citations must be standardized, and it is best to edit them with document management software (such as endnote) instead of making them by hand, which is laborious and error-prone.
23. After writing my thesis, I revised it many times. Do I need to ask someone else to help me revise it?
After the article is written, be sure to ask the tutor, * * * and the author or colleagues to review it together, so as to get better suggestions for revision. If necessary, you can also ask a professional service company with high credibility to polish and inspect it to improve the success rate. However, it should be noted that before retouching, you should sign a confidentiality agreement with the company and keep all evaluation records/traces to prevent the content and ideas of the article from being copied. More exchanges and discussions with colleagues in this major are of great benefit to the design of research and the writing of articles.
24. What should I pay attention to when writing a cover letter for my master?
Because your purpose is to sell your paper to the editor-in-chief, and you only have one chance, you must catch the editor's eye and make him feel interested in continuing reading. So don't make some low-level or careless mistakes when writing a cover letter.
