The outline of a thesis usually includes the following items: title, basic arguments and argumentation methods, and contents. The table of contents outline consists of two parallel headings, with subheadings (level 3) and details (level 4) listed under the second heading. Titles above level 4 are called chapters, articles, paragraphs and items respectively in the national standard "Writing Format of Scientific Reports, Dissertations and Academic Papers". The outline of the paper can be written very simply, just list the contents composed of chapters, articles, paragraphs and items.
The outline of the paper can also be written in detail, that is, not only the chapters, articles or items are listed, but also the contents of each level can be written in sentences or paragraphs under the titles of chapters, articles, paragraphs and items, and the arguments and methods under each level can be written if necessary.
Whether the outline of the paper is brief or detailed mainly depends on the nature and complexity of the object to be discussed and the habits of the author. The table of contents of an outline is a logical diagram composed of chapters, sections, items and subheadings. In order to fix the logical relationship of chapters, sections, items and subheadings, it is easy to identify.
Basic requirements:
1, header specification

3. Matters needing attention in English title writing
Phrases are the main forms of English titles, especially noun phrases, that is, titles are basically composed of one or several nouns plus their prepositions and/or postattributes; The title of phrase type should determine the head word and then modify it before and after. The order of each word is very important, and improper word order will lead to inaccurate expression.
Generally don't use declarative sentences, because the title mainly plays a marking role, and declarative sentences are easy to make the title have judgmental semantics, which is not refined and eye-catching. In a few cases (critical, comprehensive and refuting), the question can be used as the title, because the question has an exploratory tone and is easy to arouse the reader's interest.
