1. Ability to choose a theme
Some people say that "the right topic is half the research work". In a way, this statement is not an exaggeration. If researchers want to choose the right topic, they must have a comprehensive understanding of the history, present situation and development prospect of the topic, and know which problems are the doubts, hot spots and difficulties of the topic. Because it is not easy to choose the right topic, most of the papers of master students and doctoral students are selected under the guidance of tutors.
2. Ability to obtain information
As the saying goes, "a clever woman can't cook without rice", no matter how good the topic is, if you can't get information smoothly, you can only sigh at it. After having a topic, the writer must know which information institutions to use, which books or websites to look for, and which retrieval channels to obtain information.
3. Research ability
In thesis writing, research ability is reflected in many links. First of all, it is reflected in the selection and arrangement of data. Writing a paper, without information, the brain is empty; Too much information, my brain is a mess. What information to use, what information not to use, and where to use what information are all things to consider. Secondly, how to construct the framework, how to arrange chapters, and how to connect before and after, all of which require logical thinking ability. Third, how to develop ideas, how to demonstrate problems and how to solve these problems requires analytical and reasoning skills.
4. Writing ability
In thesis writing, profound thoughts and novel ideas are always expressed in words. Therefore, writing ability is an important requirement for the author. Thesis writing is not only different from writing novels, but also different from writing poems and essays. Some are similar to writing political papers. The outstanding requirements are rigorous logic, accurate words, concise language and fluent writing.
Among the above four abilities, the correct argumentation of the paper can only solve the problem of reasoning, the ability to control information can solve the problem of reasoning, and the research ability can solve the problem of reasoning in an orderly manner.
