1. Topic selection: an important starting point
A doctoral thesis is different from writing other articles. First of all, choose a topic suitable for doctoral thesis. For many doctoral supervisors, topic selection is an "important starting point", and doctoral students should pay special attention to:
First of all, 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. This topic must also consider whether it is of practical significance to study this issue. Only with high theoretical value and strong practical significance is it a subject worth studying.
I can choose the topic of my thesis and write it well. It is also a problem that must be considered to determine whether this topic can make full use of its own knowledge accumulation and maximize its own strengths. If you grasp a hot topic at will, even if it has high theoretical value, you may not be able to write it well. This is because the topic is out of touch with my long-term knowledge accumulation, interests and specialties, and I can't give full play to my comparative advantages, so it is difficult to write, or even difficult to complete.
The topic should not be too small or too big, so we should make a big fuss, that 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.
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.
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.
2. Standardize the citation of academic literature.
The writing of academic papers, especially doctoral dissertations, is the first step in the training of academic norms and the result of a "norm". The so-called standardization of academic literature citation refers to the importance of indicating the source of citation, which is the basic rule that scholars should follow when writing. Academics are accumulated and precipitated from generation to generation. Therefore, all the viewpoints and arguments in any paper cannot be their own, and some even some important viewpoints or arguments are quoted from others, which is allowed. But if you quote other people's views or arguments, you must indicate that the comments should not be vague. On the one hand, it respects the achievements of others, on the other hand, it is also convenient for reviewers and readers to understand the sources of paper materials and opinions or arguments.
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?
Plagiarism and plagiarism are the most prominent academic corruption phenomena in the current university campus. Copying other people's works has almost become an open secret for some university graduate students. 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.
3. Establish a good style of study and writing.
For any scholar, a good style of study and writing is very important. Doctoral students in colleges and universities should be scholars first, and should establish a good style of study and writing.
First of all, we should 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. You should be honest with your research work, especially in the process of writing your doctoral thesis, whether you are asking questions, using data or drawing conclusions.
Second, we should not only correct the style of study, but also have a good style of writing. Nowadays, there is a bad style of writing among young students: writing and describing are obscure, entangled and obstructed, choking, ambiguous sentences and vague meanings, which makes people feel confused. At present, in higher economic colleges, some doctoral students' writings are incomprehensible, incomprehensible and unbearable, and even some charts and nouns can't tell the exact meaning.
As the ancients said, "a word without a promise is not far away." It means that without literary talent, a sentence cannot have fresh and lasting vitality. 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.
4. Pay attention to accumulation and lay a solid foundation.
A solid academic foundation is an indispensable condition for writing a doctoral thesis. For every doctoral student, it is very important to lay a solid academic foundation. Whether doctoral students can achieve high-level academic research results depends largely on their own knowledge and quality. Therefore, the writer of doctoral thesis must pay attention to accumulation and strive to improve his academic accomplishment.
Learning is a hard mental work. More than a hundred years ago, Thomas Carali, a Scotsman, called economics "a dull science", and now this sentence has become a well-known saying. Some economic theories are really hard to read and understand. In Das Kapital, Marx once quoted a sentence from gladstone, a British parliamentarian in the19th century: "There are more people who are fooled by love than by studying money." Economics is a profound knowledge. To really learn and master it, we must make great efforts.
Modern economics is the subject that attracts the most public attention. It ranks first in the field of social sciences, with a vast number of papers, but the energy and time of economic researchers are limited. Even if they study hard, they can't all dabble in it.
Therefore, as a doctoral student, while extensively studying modern knowledge such as economics, he should focus on courses related to his own professional direction, take his own professional direction as the object of deep drilling, strive to master it, and become an expert with expertise and achievements.
