First, the basic work of the research topic-collecting data. Candidates can collect information from three aspects: consulting materials in libraries and reference rooms, doing field research, experiments and observations. The more specific and detailed the information collected, the better. It's best to list the bibliography and detailed plan of information you want to collect. First of all, when consulting materials, we should be familiar with and master the classification of books, be good at using bibliographies and indexes, and skillfully use other reference books, such as yearbooks, abstracts, catalogues, charts, etc. Secondly, doing on-the-spot investigation and research can obtain the most authentic, reliable and abundant first-hand information with clear purpose, clear object and clear content. Survey methods include: general survey, key survey, typical survey and sampling survey. The methods of investigation are: meeting, interview and questionnaire. Finally, about experiment and observation. Experiment and observation are the basic ways to collect scientific data and obtain perceptual knowledge, and are the practical basis for the formation, production, development and testing of scientific theories. This method is often used in the research of science, engineering, medicine and other majors, and should be carefully and comprehensively recorded when using this method.

Second, the key work of the research topic-research data. Candidates should comprehensively browse the collected materials and adopt different reading methods for different materials, such as reading, selective reading, research and so on.

Third, the core work of the research topic-clarifying arguments and selecting materials. On the basis of studying the data, candidates put forward their own views and opinions, and establish basic arguments and sub-arguments according to the topics. Put forward your own views and highlight new ideas. Innovation is the soul, and you can't just repeat predecessors or follow others' advice. At the same time, we should also prevent the tendency of being greedy for perfection, fearing incompleteness and repeating existing knowledge in large sections, so as not to reflect the characteristics and achievements of our own research.

Fourth, the key work of the research topic-writing. Pay attention to the following two aspects when writing: quasi-outline and basic format.

Fifth, the guarantee work of the research topic-revision and finalization. Through this link, we can see whether the writing intention is clearly expressed, whether the basic arguments and sub-arguments are accurate and clear, whether the materials are properly used and convincing, whether the arrangement and argumentation of materials have logical effects, whether the structure of large and small paragraphs is complete and natural, whether the sentences and words are correct and appropriate, and whether the article conforms to the norms.
