The preparation of general papers begins at the end of last semester in the graduation year. Firstly, the research direction is selected, and then a large number of references are consulted to carry out research work. It usually takes one month to complete the abstract part of the paper and submit the opening report. After the tutor passes the examination, it usually takes two months to start writing papers next semester. Finally, it takes a month to revise the content of the paper repeatedly.

A paper generally consists of title, author, table of contents, abstract, key words, text, references and appendices, some of which (such as appendices) are dispensable. The composition order of the paper is: title, author, abstract, keywords, English title, English abstract, English keywords, text, references, appendix and thanks.
