A doctoral thesis is an article written for obtaining a doctoral degree and graduation. The basic requirements of this kind of articles for authors are: under the guidance of doctoral supervisors, choose the potential research direction that they can grasp and control, and open up new research fields. So, what aspects should be paid attention to when writing a doctoral thesis?
First, the topic selection is an "important starting point"
1. The topic of the paper is worth doing. The so-called "worth doing" means that it has theoretical value. As long as you work hard, it is possible to innovate in theory and methods, and it may even contribute to the development of this discipline. Because medicine is a highly specialized science, it is necessary to consider whether it is of practical significance to study this problem. Only with high theoretical value and strong practical significance is it a subject worth studying.
2. The topic should not be too small or too big, and it is necessary to make a mountain out of a molehill, which is the so-called "small topic, big article". "Small topic, big article" is not only conducive to play its role, but also suitable for control, making the research results more solid. Good topic selection, although the topic seems small, but the depth and thickness are relatively large. When writing academic papers, research should go straight to the point, and not be greedy for perfection and blossom everywhere.
3. Choose topics that have not been studied and dabbled in before. Selecting the topic from a new angle makes the topic and the topic of the paper pioneering, original and novel. Only in this way can we make in-depth and innovative research results.
Note: Try to choose topics that have long-term research value for yourself. After all, the doctoral thesis is a phased research achievement. Although this achievement is very important, it may not be the starting point of my future research work. In the long run, we should try to choose a topic that can be done around this problem for a long time as the topic of writing a doctoral thesis.
Second, the academic literature cited in the Standard
Although academic research is always carried out on the basis of absorbing predecessors' achievements, academic citation should be limited, which is also a basic requirement of academic norms. A doctoral thesis of about 65,438+10,000 words, if there are too many references and a large number of quotations from other people's achievements, how many opinions and contents belong to you? It is inevitable to write a doctoral thesis and cite academic documents, but we must grasp the degree. This basic limitation is that reading can make people feel that the paper is really written by you, not copied from predecessors or contemporary scholars. In the process of quotation, we should pay attention to:
1. Although direct quotation is rare in scientific writing, it is common to rewrite the original materials. If you use other people's ideas and achievements, you need to indicate the source in the article and list it in the literature list at the end of the article.
2. References are not only recognition of others' contributions, but also can further guide readers to obtain information from other interested documents. In addition, the literature also provides editors with information about reviewers and shows the author's familiarity with professional fields.
3. Most authors will collect more documents than manuscripts need. It is difficult to filter out relevant documents from all the documents at once. Review articles contain a lot of documents because they contain a lot of information, but research articles are different. They should only list the most relevant documents, and in order to make them easy for readers to read, the number of documents should be controlled as much as possible at a suitable or periodical required scale.
The most relevant documents are usually journal articles, books and doctoral dissertations. Conference abstracts, conference articles, personal correspondence and unpublished data can be quoted in brackets, but these documents are generally not listed in the references at the end of the article, and can only be used to support research results, not any important conclusions, and cannot be regarded as the most relevant or effective documents.
Third, establish a good style of study and writing.
Seek truth from facts and correct the style of study. Doctor is the highest degree. As high-level talents, doctoral students should cherish their academic reputation at all times and do not violate academic ethics to achieve a certain goal.
Authors of doctoral dissertations should try their best to explain their theoretical views with plain and popular words, plain and friendly brushstrokes, real examples, concise and vivid figures and vivid charts. Not only should the theory be solid and reasonable, but also strive to be fluent, logical and lively and interesting. This is a higher requirement for doctoral students, but it is a goal that can only be achieved through hard work.
