Writing a thesis is a systematic project. This is different from article writing, so from the first day of preparation for writing, we need comprehensive thinking and planning, such as document management, document index, data management, table and picture management and so on. It is suggested to create a folder first, which contains all aspects of subfolders, classification, system management and multitasking.

Writing is gradual. Many people write papers, half a page today and hundreds of words tomorrow, which is very painful. Before writing an article, you might as well think about it, clear your mind and start writing. Sometimes, it is not surprising to finish a paper in a day or two.

Don't expect a draft to be finalized. The first report is the most important, and the second report is the most difficult to write from scratch. It is not difficult to modify the draft after it comes out, and it is not too difficult to modify it sharply and cumbersome. As the saying goes, it's hard to try. The same is true when writing, and the final conclusion is completely different from the original conclusion. So in the first draft, we should be quick, not accurate.

Don't rush to create a list of directory files. Once the document list is inserted, when it is modified, it will be constantly updated, sometimes leading to word crash, resulting in the file can not be saved or lost. If you use software such as endnote, when writing, insert {author's name, year and other information} into the literature and finally generate a list together.

There is a difference between writing a paper and writing an article. Exquisiteness is not the most important requirement for an article, but details are the key. For articles, refinement is the most important, because magazines generally have word limits, and refined words are more favored by magazines. So when writing the first draft, try to deal with the details as much as possible, and then make some changes.

6. When writing a thesis, you often encounter some minor problems. For example, why the table of contents format is always wrong, why the option of "only updating page numbers" in the table of contents is not available, how to insert page numbers on the left side of horizontal pages, how to customize the page numbers of footers, how to distinguish page breaks from paragraph breaks, and so on. Remember, when you encounter a similar problem, find it and solve it as soon as possible. This is not a question of text design. This shows that you don't know him well. Many times, this problem is solved through online search. So the latter question won't bother you.

7. Communicate the writing progress and requirements of the thesis with the tutor in time. Every teacher has different habits. The final quality control is controlled by the tutor, so communication is the most important.

Take this paper as a starting point and conduct rigorous scientific research. As we all know, published papers are basically unread, and even if they end up in the library, they may never be read. But in the process of writing a thesis, what you gain is that there are not many opportunities to write a thesis, which means there are even fewer opportunities to write a thesis systematically. And there are many opportunities to write articles, and you will find that articles are actually very easy to write, almost all of which are the same routine. So, if you really want to be a rigorous scientist in the future, please write your paper carefully, even if no one is reading it.
