Thesis writing-summary

summary

It refers to a paper written by the author aiming at a certain topic and summarizing, analyzing and refining a large number of data, materials and main viewpoints in the original research papers in a certain period. The summary is a three-phase document, with strong topic, small scope, certain depth and timeliness, which can reflect the historical background, research status and development trend of this topic and has high information science value. After reading the review, we can know the latest research trends and some original research papers on this subject in a short time. Most medical journals at home and abroad have abstract columns.

Searching and reading literature is an important prerequisite for writing a review. The quality of the review depends largely on the author's mastery of the latest literature related to this topic. If you don't do a good job in literature retrieval and reading, you will certainly write a high-level summary.

The writing format of a review generally includes four parts: preface, text, summary and references.

The preface should use concise words to explain the purpose and necessity of writing, the definition of related concepts, the scope of review, the present situation and trend of related issues, and the focus of current major issues. The preface is generally 200-300 words, not more than 500 words.

Writing is the focus of review, and writing has no fixed format. As long as the comprehensive content can be better expressed, the author can creatively adopt various forms. The text mainly includes two parts: argumentation and argumentation. By asking questions, analyzing and solving problems, we can compare different scholars' views on the same problem and their theoretical basis, and further clarify the context of the problem and the author's own views. The author can also put forward different literary views from the historical background, present situation and development direction of the problem. The body part can be divided into several subheadings according to the content.

Abstract is a brief summary of the main body of the abstract. The author should make a comprehensive evaluation of various viewpoints, put forward his own views, and point out the existing problems and the direction and prospect of future development. A simple summary can also be omitted.

References are an important part of the review. The number of general references can reflect the breadth and depth of the author's reading. Different magazines have different requirements on the number of references for review papers, generally less than 30 articles are appropriate, with the latest documents in the last 3-5 years as the main ones.

Several points for attention in writing a summary paper: (1) The topic should not be too big. Generally speaking, if the topic is too big, it is difficult to grasp the center of the paper and understand it thoroughly. ⑵ The references are too old. The review must reflect the latest research of others. If the cited documents are all old references from previous research institutes, they cannot reflect the latest research trends. (3) Don't cite too many references. Literature review writers sometimes see the phenomenon of quoting indirect literature. If the author quotes other people's references, it is better not to quote them indirectly. (4) The summary is too long. Magazine editorial departments generally have a certain number of words to review manuscripts. When the author writes a summary for the first time, he often doesn't pay attention to this point, which leads to more empty talk and rhetoric, and the focus is not prominent. The summary should not exceed 4000 words. 5] Summary is not a simple literature list, but must be synthesized and summarized by the author himself. Some reviews only list the following literature, which looks like a running account, without the author's own synthesis and analysis, which makes people feel repetitive and puzzling after reading it.
