1, try to quote some latest articles.
Nowadays, the publication of academic papers pays more attention to the date of documents, that is, timeliness, which is more obvious in science and engineering majors. Why is there such a preference? The possible reasons are as follows: first, it highlights the author's ability to grasp the academic frontier, which also reflects its latest trend to a great extent, which is indeed an important aspect of academic research; Second, the construction of any discipline and the progress of research are changing, and the evolution of opinions, theories and data is constantly changing every second, which requires the author to present the latest achievements in academic papers, otherwise the research value will decrease. Moreover, the timeliness and timeliness of this document are the preferences and tendencies of many editorial departments, which need the author's attention in daily work. I also believe that we have all met, and our tutors or seniors have told us to read the latest literature instead of wasting precious time on old memories. Of course, if it is a classic document, reading and paying tribute are eternal learning themes.
2. Realize the true citation of opinions or data, and strive for no indirect citation.
Academic plagiarism or fraud is like a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts! When quoting academic materials, be sure to quote them truthfully, otherwise the problem of plagiarism, pasting and plagiarism may occur when quoting your original words. In the process of writing a formal academic paper, we always quote some other people's opinions to smooth our research ideas and writing logic, especially in the literature review part, so it is particularly important to quote the literature correctly. Of course, in the actual document citation operation, many authors have not completely achieved this level, but it is not plagiarism. In order to save time, they chose to refer to the file indirectly ... in fact, this operation is very undesirable. After all, the sentence you quoted is not the expression of the original text, it may be sorted out from indirect literature, or even after several rounds of indirect quotation. The expression of meaning and opinions may have undergone major changes and may also be expressed.
3. Correctly mark the author, source and time of the document.
A good habit of literature citation also needs to pay attention to the remarks and introduction of basic information of literature, which is also a part of literature citation. For most documents, this basic information includes author, source and time. Clearly marking and perfecting the basic information of the literature can let readers know more potential information, such as what the source channel is, when and where ... In academic papers, the clear presentation of this information is mainly reflected in the citation and reference, which needs everyone's attention. This is part of what many authors do at will.
If possible, according to the preferences of the editorial department, you need to have the subconscious mind of "journal self-citation".
As we all know, many well-known journals, especially the well-known C-type journals in China, have certain hidden rules when selecting articles or publishing articles: you should quote articles from our journals. This seems to have become the hidden rule of academic publishing. Why is there such an operation? In fact, the competition of C periodicals is becoming more and more fierce, and many magazines hope that their periodical papers will be cited to improve their influence and achieve the expected effect. Therefore, when the author chooses the target journals to contribute, the citations of articles and documents should be accurate "self-citation" and have a certain sense of "journal self-citation".
Please adjust the format of documents and materials according to the requirements of the editorial department before submitting.
As we all know, the submission experience tells us that the format of each journal is different, and it needs to be revised and improved according to the requirements of the editorial department or magazine before submission. Among them, literature is no exception! In an academic paper, the adjustment of the citation format of documents includes two aspects: on the one hand, how to mark the suffixes of documents in the paper (for example: …… (Li Si, 2020)); On the other hand, it is the format typesetting of references, which many journals attach great importance to and need the attention of authors. Due to the universality of references and labeling formats in this paper, the author will not repeat them here. Here I mainly emphasize the format adjustment of references. The author can learn about the format of periodicals from two sources: one is the format typesetting requirements learned from official website, and the other is the format of the latest published articles.
6. It may be essential to pay attention to the citation of some classic documents, especially some groundbreaking works.
The reason why classic literature becomes "classic" lies in its importance and pioneering significance. When writing an article, the author should pay attention to quoting the classic literature, because any school of theoretical development can not escape the pioneering role of the original literature, and you may need it to guide your topic and demonstrate your point of view. In the writing of specific papers, the citation of classical literature may mainly be highlighted in three parts: introduction, literature review and theoretical analysis. Therefore, the writing of the paper needs to quote classics and pay tribute to the classics!
7. Pay more attention to the academic works of authoritative journals and well-known scholars.
In recent years, the author has developed an important phenomenon when reading literature: through reading literature, many published academic papers cite the papers of authoritative magazines and well-known scholars, and rarely cite the papers of other middle and lower reaches journals. I believe everyone knows and observes this phenomenon. This problem may be more prominent in the era when this masterpiece is about to face. Why is this? Personally, I think that good journals will get better and better, and the distance between poor journals will get bigger and bigger. Generally speaking, when a good journal is published, they will subconsciously attach importance to the citation of authoritative and classic documents, and pay attention to the credibility of opinions and theories, while quoting authoritative, high-level and well-known scholars' opinions and documents is the guarantee to improve the quality of the journal.
