1, the general word count refers to the corrected word count, that is, the first chapter to the last chapter, excluding abstracts, tables of contents, acknowledgements, references, appendices, etc. And it refers to the number of words rather than the number of characters. For example, a 30,000-word graduation thesis is a 30,000-word Chinese character, excluding punctuation and spaces.
2. The master's thesis requires not only the number of words, but also the number of pages, which can be between 60 and 80 pages. This also refers to the main body of the paper, and does not include abstract, table of contents, thanks, references and appendices.
3. The number of references is generally not less than 40, including not less than 20 references in foreign languages, and the number of references in the last five years is generally not less than one third of the total, and the references in the last two years should be used, and the references should be cited in the text.
Therefore, write as much as you can and show your talents as much as possible. After three years of master's degree, you will see this master's thesis.
