The title of the paper is the title of the article, and the title is as important as "Yan Wen". Therefore, look at people first, the text first, and the topic first. The fate of a paper is often determined by the coincidence and brightness of the eyes. The title of the paper can not only accurately reflect the specific core content of the paper, but also be the first thing that experts and readers encounter. The title of a paper is like an attractive eye, which is often used as a first impression to judge and decide whether to read it; In addition, the theme is to use secondary literature institutions and database systems for retrieval and inclusion.
Therefore, a good topic can often win the reading interest of experts and readers, and then reflect the proper value of the paper itself. The formulation of the topic of the paper needs to be considered from the source, attribute, content and quality of the topic. Through the analysis and research on the process of topic selection, it is beneficial to improve the quality and level of the paper. Understanding the process of topic selection, paying attention to avoiding common mistakes in topic selection, and trying to make a suitable topic selection for a good paper will make the paper icing on the cake. This paper starts with the problems that often appear in daily paper editing work, and summarizes the commonly used methods of topic selection combined with good topic selection.
How to draw up the title of the paper
1 Problems that should be paid attention to when drafting the topic of the paper.
The principle of the proposed topic is: on the basis of clear expression, use as few words as possible, especially noun phrases. The title of the paper should be precise, eye-catching, concise, easy to read and remember, with clear concepts and distinct levels, and grasp the four elements of the topic (research object, research purpose, research scope and research method). The topic must accurately summarize the argument or central content of the paper in words, accurately reflect the scope and depth of the research, and enable reviewers and readers to obtain effective information from it. The so-called consistency of titles means that the meaning should be clear and concise, which can make the finishing point clear to people at a glance and immediately arouse people's interest in reading or extracting references.
1. 1 The difficulty of the topic should be moderate.
The scope of the topic should not be too large or too wide, and we should do what we can. Problems are big and small, difficult and easy. Choosing the topic within your power is not the key. The key is to go deep into its essence, grasp the key points, make a little breakthrough, have original opinions, and find the difficulties and crux of the problem. If one or two minor problems can be solved in a certain branch of a subject, or new discoveries, inventions and creations can be made, then the paper is very weighty. On the contrary, if you are ambitious, insatiable, insatiable, and try to cover everything, then you have barely made a topic that you are not qualified for. In the end, nothing will go deep and there will be no new creations and discoveries. Writing comprehensively will only be superficial, flashy and without practical effect.
For example, the topic of the paper is management in fermentation process, which is too broad. Because there are many contents in the management of fermentation process, including the balance of energy and substance, the operation mode of fermentation and the influence of culture conditions on fermentation. Among them, each item contains a lot, and it is impossible and impossible for a paper to contain so much content. Another example is "treatment of TNT wastewater by iron-carbon micro-electrolysis", which embodies new research content. Industrial wastewater treated by iron-carbon micro-electrolysis includes: sizing wastewater, dye wastewater, nitrification wastewater, DDNP wastewater and so on. This paper clearly embodies a branch of my research, "iron-carbon micro-electrolysis treatment of industrial wastewater", and solves a wastewater treatment method.
As an editor, when proofreading similar problems with inappropriate topics, it is required to have certain background knowledge about the direction and scope of the paper research in order to see whether the topic is moderate.
The title of 1.2 should reflect the content of the paper.
The topic should accurately express the central content of the paper. The title should make readers understand the theme, main viewpoints and main conclusions of this article. The topic is a high-level summary of the important contents of the paper, avoiding the use of words with general and general significance.
Generally speaking, in order to accurately reflect the main points of the paper, the topic selection can not be separated from four supporting skeletons, that is, the four elements of the topic selection: research object, research purpose, research scope and research method. Only when the title accurately reflects these four factors and their relationship can we highlight the research content and depth of the paper. The common topic of the paper is to explain the scope of the paper, so as to attract the attention of peers and readers, and to attract the attention of * * *. When writing, you can flexibly master the topic of the paper according to the needs of the paper.
For example, the topic "Optimal design of gear pump without meshing force" embodies the research object and purpose. However, after reading the full text, it is found that the method used in this paper is ProE, so if the title of this paper is changed to "structural optimization design of gear pump without meshing force based on ProE", the content of this paper can be better reflected. For another example, the topic "inverter fault diagnosis" is the research object of this paper, so it is more appropriate to change the topic to "shearer inverter fault diagnosis".
For this kind of topic, the editor can find the problem by reading through the full text and understanding the content of the paper when proofreading.
1.3 The words used in the topic should be novel and original.
A good topic, a topic with characteristics, can best catch people, make readers unforgettable and shine at the moment. So, what kind of topic is a good topic with characteristics? It's the same word "new". "New" is to abandon the old ways and old things and make new and different topics.
In the wording of the topic, we should be able to highlight our new insights and breakthroughs, highlight what others have not studied, or although there is research, some conclusions are inappropriate or there is room for further discussion. In addition, we should highlight our own innovative and unique research content and find the characteristic language of our own papers, as if to label our own papers. In addition to the subject, you can also add words such as "research", "application" and "design". However, these words have no specific meaning and should not be abused, otherwise they will have a sense of sameness and will not highlight "novelty". Don't apply the "clinical explanation of disease cases" in the same way, and don't use cliché propositions such as "exploration", "inspection" and "enlightenment" in the same way.
For example, the topic "Mechanism of fluoride removal from drinking water by bone charcoal" mentioned in the paper, the commonly used fluoride removal mechanisms at present include precipitation of insoluble fluoride, ion exchange or ligand exchange, physical and chemical adsorption and complex precipitation. The novelty of this paper lies in that bone charcoal has both ion exchange and adsorption functions, so changing the title to "Adsorption mechanism of bone charcoal-application of ion exchange to remove fluoride" can highlight the originality of the paper.
1.4 The words used in the topic should be appropriate.
The wording of the topic should be appropriate to express the novelty of the topic and the depth of the research content, and avoid inappropriate flowery words or too low-level words; Use concise and clear words, avoid tedious adjectives and unnecessary function words, try to convey the essence of the paper in the simplest and most distinctive language, and try to delete those words that can or cannot be used; Choose the most easy-to-generalize, single-meaning, easy-to-understand, easy-to-remember, easy-to-quote and standardized terms in this discipline; Use less vague language, use more precise language, and don't use private abbreviations, symbols, etc. , often use or simply use the full name, and resolutely do not use topics with language defects. It is forbidden to describe the content of the paper point by point with complex and complete sentences of subject, verb and object, and use phrases as the topic.
Such as XXX theory, XXX system, XXX law, XXX mechanism, etc. Such words should be based on system theory and can be used to write titles, but they are not as good as thousands of words. They should be used with caution and had better not be used. It is a habit to use verb-object phrases less. For example, the determination of acid value of vegetable oil should be changed to the determination of acid value of vegetable oil; Another example is "research on new brewing methods", which is a verb-object structure and can be changed to a noun phrase "new brewing methods"
