A master's thesis is a thesis written by a graduate student who is studying for a master's degree. It should be reflected that the author has mastered the basic professional knowledge extensively and deeply, has the ability to conduct scientific research independently, and has new independent opinions on the research topic. The thesis has certain depth and good scientific value, and plays a positive role in improving the academic level of this major. Excellent master's thesis can reflect the author's mastery and level of theoretical knowledge of this major, help the author to build a good and complete knowledge system, and also reflect the author's independent scientific research ability and application level of academic theory, as well as his thinking and independent opinions on research topics. Compared with the bachelor's thesis, the master's thesis should have a certain theoretical depth and higher academic level, and emphasize the originality of the author's thoughts. The research results should have stronger practical value and higher scientific value. Therefore, writing a master's thesis will put forward higher requirements for the author-detailed data, detailed argumentation and analysis, clear reasoning and calculus, clear paper structure and accurate use of professional vocabulary.

Writing requirements of master's thesis

(1) Title and title)

Titles are also called titles or titles. A title is a logical combination that reflects the most important specific content in a short passage with the most appropriate and concise words.

The title of a paper is the first important information related to the scope and level of the paper. At the same time, it is necessary to compile secondary documents such as titles and indexes, taking into account the specific practical information that can help select keywords and provide retrieval. The topic of the paper is very important and must be carefully chosen. Some people use the following sentence to describe its importance: "The title of the paper is half of the article". The requirements for the title of the thesis are: accurate and appropriate; Short and pithy; Proper extension and connotation; Eye-catching

The requirements of these four aspects are as follows:

1. Accurate and decent

The title of the paper requires accurate expression of the content of the paper and appropriate reflection of the scope and depth of the research. Common faults are: too general, the topic is not deducted. The key problem is that the topic should be closely related to the content of the paper, or that the content of the paper should match and be closely related, that is, the topic should be deducted and the article should be deducted. This is the basic principle of writing a thesis.

Concise and clear

Try to use fewer words in the topic and choose words carefully. As for how many words are qualified, there is no uniform "hard" rule. It is generally hoped that the title of the paper will not exceed 20 words. However, the pursuit of fewer words should not affect the proper reflection of the topic in content. When there is a spear between the two, it is better to use more words and express them as clearly as possible. If the short title is not enough to show the content of the paper or reflect the nature of a series of research, it can be solved by positive and negative titles, and the specific experimental materials, methods and contents can be supplemented by adding negative titles, so that the titles are rich, accurate and not generalized.

3. The extension and connotation should be appropriate.

"Extension" and "connotation" belong to the concepts in formal logic. The so-called extension refers to every object reflected by a concept; The so-called connotation refers to the reflection of the unique attributes of each conceptual object. If we don't consider the logical application of extension and connotation when putting forward a proposition, there may be fallacies, at least it is inappropriate.

stand out

Although the title of the paper is in the first eye-catching position to attract readers' attention, there is still the problem of whether the title is eye-catching, because the words used in the title and the content expressed are eye-catching, and the effect is far from the same. Some people made a statistical analysis of the titles of some papers published in 36 medical sci-tech journals 1987, and selected 100 wrong titles. Of the 100 titles with errors, 20% belong to "improper omission" errors; The error of "improper use of prepositions" accounts for 12%. Errors in using prepositions mainly include:

(1) Omit the subject-after the first personal pronoun fails to express its meaning, it does not use the preposition structure, which makes the auxiliary components mistake for the subject;

② Do not use prepositions when necessary;

(3) no need to make

Used when using prepositional structures. 1 1% belongs to "main fault"; 9% belong to the mistake of "improper use of juxtaposition"; 9% belong to "improper use of words" and "sentence confusion", and other types of mistakes, such as lengthy titles, inconsistent titles, repetition and ambiguity, also occur from time to time.
