When we study a problem, how to show it to everyone is an important job. Here we will introduce the general format and matters needing attention of the important part of scientific research with specific examples. Of course, to write a good paper, it is not enough to make such a simple introduction, but also to write and practice more by yourself.
With the development of science and technology, more and more scholars set foot in the field of academic paper writing. So how to write academic papers, what are the requirements and formats of academic papers? Here is a brief introduction to the writing of academic papers, hoping to be helpful to your paper writing.
(1) Title and title)
1, title of paper format: (signature attached below) Requirements are accurate, concise, eye-catching and novel.
The title of the paper is the first important information related to the scope and level of the paper, and it also needs to consider specific practical information, which can help to select keywords, compile titles, indexes and other secondary documents 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; The extension and connotation are just right; catch sb's attention
(2) Name and unit of the author
This item belongs to the problem of paper signature. One is to show the responsibility of writing, the other is to record the author's labor achievements, and the third is to facilitate the contact between readers and authors and document retrieval (author index). It can be roughly divided into two situations, single-author papers and multi-author papers. The latter is listed as the first author and the second author in the order of signature. It is important to adhere to the attitude of seeking truth from facts, and list those who have made the greatest contribution to research work and thesis writing as the first and second authors, and so on. It is also convenient for readers to contact the author by indicating the author's unit.
(3) Abstract
Papers usually have abstracts, some for international communication, and foreign language (mostly English) abstracts. It is a brief statement of the content of the paper, without comments or annotations. Its function is to enable readers to obtain the necessary information without reading the full text of the paper.
The abstract shall include the following contents:
① The purpose and significance of this study;
(2) the main content of the study, which shows what has been done;
(3) The basic conclusions and research results highlight the originality of the paper;
④ The significance of the conclusion or result.
Although the abstract of the paper should reflect the above contents, the text must be very concise, the content should be fully summarized, and the length is generally limited to less than 5% of the words in the paper. For example, a 6000-word paper usually has an abstract of no more than 300 words.
The abstract of the paper does not need to list examples, talk about the research process, use charts, give chemical structure and make self-evaluation. The common problems in writing the abstract of a paper are as follows: 1. Plagiarizing the subtitle (table of contents) or the body of the conclusion part of the paper; Second, the content is not centralized and the text is too long.
In order to facilitate international communication, many papers need English abstracts, especially in colleges and universities. The content of English abstract is the same as that of Chinese abstract, including four parts: purpose, method, result and conclusion. But English has its own characteristics, and the most important thing is that it often takes up a long space when translating from Chinese to English. If you describe a paragraph with the same content in English, it may take up twice as much space as Chinese. Therefore, writing English abstracts should pay more attention to conciseness and conciseness, and strive to provide the most important information in the shortest space. First, carefully screen the information you have, and the content that does not belong to the above "four parts" does not need to be written in the abstract. Second, the content of the "four parts" should also be properly selected, so as to be concise and comprehensive. For example, "purpose" has been preliminarily defined in most titles. If there is no deeper purpose, there is no need to repeat it abstractly. Another example is "method", and some methods may have become routine methods abroad. When writing an English abstract, you can only write the name of the method without describing its operation steps one by one.
The consistency of Chinese and English abstracts mainly refers to the consistency of contents. At present, there are two misunderstandings about this issue. One is that the contents of the two abstracts are "almost enough", so it is easy to delete the key contents of the Chinese abstract or add the contents not mentioned in the Chinese abstract at will, which is easy to cause the center of gravity of the abstract to shift or even deviate from the theme; Secondly, it is considered that English abstracts are hard translations of Chinese abstracts, and every word of Chinese abstracts is not omitted, which often makes English abstracts appear tedious and repetitive, and it seems to be protracted. English abstracts should strictly and comprehensively express the contents of Chinese abstracts, and can't be added or deleted at will, but this doesn't mean that a word can't be changed. Specific writing methods should follow the rules of English grammar and rhetoric, conform to the norms of English professional terms, and take care of English expression habits.
Choosing appropriate tense and voice is the premise of making abstracts conform to English grammar and rhetoric rules. Usually, the tense and voice of the predicate verbs in the abstract are not uniform, and should be changed according to the specific content, otherwise it will easily lead to confusion in understanding. But this change is not irregular, and there are some laws as follows:
1. Tense: Generally, it can be summarized as follows.
1) describes the research process and mostly uses the simple past tense.
2) In the research process, the past perfect tense should be used to describe what happened before this process.
3) Use the present perfect tense to illustrate the achievement of a topic.
4) When the beginning of the abstract indicates the contents reported or described in the text, and the end of the abstract indicates the author's opinions and suggestions, the simple present tense can be used.
2. Voice: In most cases, the passive voice can be used. However, in some cases, especially when expressing the opinions of the author or related experts, the active voice is often used, and its advantages are distinct and powerful.
Keywords (keywords)
Keywords belong to a category of subject words. Subject words include not only keywords, but also narrative words of unit words and title words.
Keyword is a new vocabulary of information retrieval language, which is used to describe the theme of literature and give information retrieval. It is precisely because of its appearance and development that it is possible to computerize information retrieval (computer retrieval). Keywords refer to words or phrases that distinguish things through the characteristic relationship of concepts, express them in natural language, and have collocation function to accurately express the dynamic semantic conceptual relationship between words.
Keywords are keywords that mark the subject content of document construction, but have not been standardized. Keywords are words or terms selected from papers for document indexing to express the main contents and information items of the full text. A paper can choose 3~8 words as keywords.
The general selection method of keywords or subject words is:
After writing the paper, the author looks at the full text and finds out the information or words that can express the main content of the paper. These residences or words can be found and selected from the title or content of the paper. The selection of the last three keywords supplements the main content information that the title of the paper fails to express, and also improves the conceptual depth involved. Need to choose, together with the keywords selected from the title, to form the keyword group of this article.
The use of keywords and subject words is mainly to meet the needs of computer retrieval and international computer online retrieval. Adding keywords to publications opens up a new way for publications to improve their citation rate and increase their popularity.
(5) Introduction (Introduction)
Introduction, also known as preface, belongs to the introduction part of the whole paper. Its writing contents include: reasons, purposes, background, previous work and knowledge gap, theoretical basis and experimental basis, expected results and its position, role and significance in related fields.
The text of the introduction should not be lengthy, the content selection should not be too scattered and trivial, and the wording should be refined to attract readers to continue reading. There is no rigid and uniform regulation on the length of introduction, but it needs to be determined according to the size of the whole paper and the needs of the content of the paper. It can be as long as 700~800 words or 1000 words, or as short as 1000 words.
(6) subject
The text is the theory of a paper, which belongs to the main body of the paper and occupies the largest length of the paper. The creative achievements or new research achievements embodied in this paper will be fully reflected in this part. Therefore, this part requires substantial content, sufficient and reliable arguments, strong arguments and clear themes. In order to meet this series of requirements, at the same time, in order to achieve the purpose of clear hierarchy and clear context, the text is often divided into several large paragraphs. These paragraphs are called logical segments, and a logical segment can contain several natural segments. Each logical paragraph can have an appropriate title (subtitle or subtitle). Paragraphs and division should depend on the nature and content of the paper.
7. References
[serial number]. Author. Title [M], place of publication: publishing house, year, page number.
[serial number]. Author. Paper name [J], journal name, year, volume (issue), page number.
(eight) the carrier type and identification of electronic documents.
With the acceleration of China's informatization process, the use of electronic documents has gradually increased, and the standardization of their marking methods has been put on the agenda. According to the relevant provisions of the "China Academic Journals (CD-ROM Edition) Retrieval and Evaluation Data Specification" issued by the General Administration of Press and Publication, we now put forward the following requirements for contributions:
The reference marks of electronic files such as 1. database, computer program and electronic bulletin have the following two letters:
Electronic announcement of computer program in electronic document database
Electronic file type identification database
Second, the carrier type and identification of electronic documents
For electronic documents with non-paper carriers, when citing them as references, the carrier type should be indicated in the reference type.
The specification uses two letters to indicate the types of electronic document carriers: magnetic tape) MT, magnetic disk) DK, CD-ROM) CD, online) OL, and the following formats indicate the types of references including the types of document carriers:
[File Type Identification/Carrier Type Identification]
Such as: [db/ol]-online database online.
A database on tape.
[m/CD]- CD monograph
[CP/DK]- Disk software (computer program on disk)
Online serial
[EB/ol]- The electronic pull-up board is online.
For example: [1] Wang Mingliang. On the progress of China academic journal standard database system engineering [DB/OL]. Literature website,1998-08-16/1998-10-04.
Traditional literature with paper as the carrier does not need to indicate the carrier type when it is cited as a reference.
