At present, many colleges and universities require students to have a certain number of foreign language references in their master's thesis writing, and even force students to have a certain number of foreign language references. Although this forced annotation has always been the object of our criticism and even ridicule, it is undeniable that adding a certain number of foreign references (mainly English references) to the article can effectively improve the quality and taste of your paper, at least in form, and can make your paper pass smoothly and even be evaluated. However, there are a vast number of foreign documents, so how to make foreign reference documents? Paper net, Master of Laws, offers the following suggestions for master students' reference: 1. Looking for foreign literature from the theme. First of all, we can combine the theme of the paper to find foreign literature. This method is essentially to find information from the theme, but the target is foreign literature. For example, if your thesis is about "computer crime", then the foreign language keywords you search can be "computer crime" or "cyber crime". 2. Search for foreign documents from keywords. The methods and skills of retrieving foreign documents from keywords are basically the same as those from the above topics, but there are more search words. There will be many keywords under a topic, from which foreign literature can be found. For example, the theme of your thesis is "extorting confessions by torture", and there are keywords such as "criminal evidence" and "illegal evidence" under this theme. You can search for foreign documents from these keywords, so that the retrieval area will be larger and more foreign materials can be found. 3. Cite foreign literature from other people's works. It is a shortcut to transfer foreign literature from other people's works. For example, if the theme of your thesis is "green procurement", you can buy some academic monographs on "green procurement". These monographs must contain a lot of foreign documents, and you can take them as your own foreign notes directly. Of course, strictly speaking, this method is not standardized, because this academic attitude is not rigorous. Of course, this is a shortcut, you can use it, and you will get unexpected good results. Attachment: 1 Technical means of searching foreign documents. Searching for foreign language materials can enter some professional databases, such as Heinonline. Of course, if you don't have access to these databases, then we will teach you a simple method. Enter Google and enter "English keyword (space) pdf" to find many pdf documents, which are generally periodical documents written by foreigners. Let's demonstrate the keyword "cyber crime" mentioned above. When we search "Cybercrime pdf" in Google, we will find that the search results of 1- 100 are almost all foreign documents about cybercrime. So many foreign documents are enough for you. So what is the quality of these documents? Download the first result first and have a look. The theme is "cyber crime" ... what about punishment? -outdated laws threaten global information ",published by McConnell International in 2000, with 10 page. The quality of this document should be said to be very good. 2. Matters needing attention in finding foreign documents. When searching for foreign documents, we should also pay attention to the fact that some topics have no foreign documents, not everything has foreign documents, and foreigners are not interested in some things that China people study. We met a classmate who wanted to write "collective forest rights" and he wanted to find foreign materials. Do foreign countries such as the United States have collective forest rights? I'm afraid not. Countries ruled by law are all private ownership countries. If you want to find foreign documents about collective forest rights, go to North Korea and Cuba. None of these countries is ruled by law, and no one studies the law. Where are the foreign language documents? Therefore, it is necessary to be savvy and academically sensitive when looking for foreign documents, otherwise you can't find them. 3, the number of foreign materials.
