A long English thesis (such as English graduation thesis) usually needs a title page, and its writing format is as follows: the distance between the first line title and the top of the printing paper is about one third of the total length of the printing paper, the distance between the first line title and the next line (usually in the center) is 5cm, and the third and fourth lines are the author's name and date (both in the center) respectively.

If the English thesis is written by a student for a course, the academic title and name of the teacher (such as Dr/Professor C Prager) and the number or name of the course (such as English 734 or English novel) should be marked between the author's name and date.

Second, the outline

The English paper outline page includes the topic sentence and the outline itself, and its standard format is as follows: type the word Thesis and colon at the beginning of the first line (still about 2.5cm from the top of the printing paper), then type the topic sentence after leaving a space, and the left side should be aligned with the first letter of the topic sentence when returning.

The main outline is marked with capital Roman numerals, and the secondary outline is marked with capital English letters, Arabic numerals and lowercase English letters in turn. Add a dot after each number or letter, and type the first letter of the content with a blank space; The top, bottom and left sides of the same level of contour must be aligned.

It should be noted that there must be more than two equally important programs, that is, I should have II, A should have B, and so on. If the outline of an English paper is long and needs two pages, the page number of the second page must be marked with lowercase Roman numerals in the upper right corner, that is, ii (the first page does not need to be numbered).

Three. abstract

1. English abstract is a short article, which uses a written language that conforms to English grammar and provides a summary of the content of the paper. The content is basically the same as the Chinese abstract, but it is not necessary to be completely sentence by sentence.

2. English titles, abstracts and keywords form a page (1 page is enough), which is placed after the Chinese abstract page.

3. English fonts and line spacing: "Times New Roman" is used uniformly for "Western fonts", with 1.5 times line spacing.

4. English topic: Bold with the third word.

5. English abstract: "abstract" is capitalized, the fourth word is used, and it is bold.

6. English keywords: "keywords" In the top case, use the fourth word and make it bold.

Fourth, the text.

For English papers with title page and outline page, the standard format of the first page of the text is: the title of the paper is centered, about 5cm from the top of the printing paper and about 1.5cm from the first line of the text. The first letter of a paragraph must be indented by five spaces, that is, starting from the sixth space.

The first page of the text does not need to be numbered (but the page number should be calculated). Starting from the second page, the author's surname must be indicated in the upper right corner of each page (that is, the first line at the back is vacant), and the page number should be indicated with Arabic numerals after a space is vacant; Arabic numeral (or its last digit) should be the last space in the line.

Pay attention to the printing format of punctuation marks when printing the text, that is, leave two spaces after the end of the sentence (period, question mark and exclamation point) and one space after other punctuation marks.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) is quoted in the article

It is an important link in writing English papers to quote the original works or the opinions of experts and scholars correctly. We should not only pay attention to the organic unity of citation and paper, that is, its logic, but also pay attention to the standardization of citation format (that is, English paper references).

Quote other people's opinions, either directly or indirectly. In any case, the author of the paper must indicate the author and source of the quoted text. The usual practice in American academic circles is to indicate the author and source of the quotation in brackets after the quotation.

Philology of intransitive verbs

The author of the paper must provide a detailed publication of all the quotations in the paper at the end of the text, that is, the document catalogue page. American colleges and universities generally call this page a work citation page, and its format should pay attention to the following points:

The table of contents page should be separated from the text, printed on another page, and placed after the text.

The directory page should be regarded as a page of an English paper, and the author's surname and page number should be indicated in the upper right corner in the order of page number of the paper; If the entry is more than one page, the first page does not need to be marked with the author's surname and page number (but the number of pages must be counted), and the remaining pages are still marked with the author's surname and page number in order.

The cited title works are about 2.5cm from the top of the printing paper, and still 0.6cm from the first line of the first item. The distance between items and rows is also 0.6cm, so there is no need to leave more blanks.

The order of each content is author's surname, first name, work name, publishing house name, place of publication, year of publication, starting and ending page numbers, etc. Entries should be arranged in strict alphabetical order according to the author's surname, but it is not necessary to code each entry, and it is not necessary to separate books from magazines, periodicals and other entries. The first line of each item needs to be printed in the top space, and it needs to be indented by 5 spaces when it is returned to distinguish it from other items.

Abstract of English paper, also called abstract, is an important part of the paper. It is a short article, which concisely and accurately describes the important contents of the document, without comments or supplementary explanations. It should be independent and self-evident, and have the same main information as the literature, that is, you can get important information without reading the full text.

The abstract is usually placed after the title and at the beginning of the article. After a paper is published, its abstracts are often collected by the literature retrieval system. English abstracts are generally 200-300 words, and there are Chinese abstracts consistent with the views expressed in English abstracts.

Extended data

Function of paper

The thesis is an article that carries out research in various academic fields and describes academic research results. It is not only a means to discuss problems in academic research, but also a tool to describe academic research results in academic exchanges. Different people have different functions in publishing papers:

1, title evaluation (promotion of title): graduate students need to graduate; When teachers, medical staff, personnel of scientific research institutes and employees of enterprises are promoted to a higher level, publishing periodical papers is a necessary reference index.

2. Application for funds and projects: When the education, science and technology and health systems apply for projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, other fund projects and various research projects every year, the papers are published as a conclusive display of the research results completed by the funds or projects.

3. Research in basic fields all over the world, such as medicine, mathematics, physics, chemistry, life sciences and other fields. Publicly publishing papers is a display and report of the latest scientific research achievements and research methods. Promote the scientific and technological progress of the whole society.
