After passing the university higher education, thesis writing seems to be no longer a problem. However, a careful observation of university education reveals that there is no special writing course. This is like sex education, which is not taught in class at all, so most people replace special education by watching videos and finding girlfriends to practice. Similarly, the writing education in our university is also the same. Students often download papers and then splice and paste them, so that the papers are written. Such papers are available every year, but they still lack the ability to read and write.
What's the difference between a topic paper and a research paper? In fact, this is a bit like the difference between arts and sciences. Because of the different basic materials, some studies are based on book materials, some are based on research materials and some are based on experimental results. According to different materials, different paper forms are produced. After the form of the paper is determined, it is necessary to consider the theme of the article. If possible, it is best to choose a subject that interests you and is beneficial to you, but it is not to give up learning areas other than your own knowledge and experience; On the contrary, the final research paper will provide an opportunity to study new fields. In addition, the research must have a certain purpose and application value. In any case, it is not correct to study for the sake of research. After choosing a topic, you should limit the depth and breadth. Before determining the topic, we should fully consider the restrictive factors-readers, words, paper preparation time and submission date. Validity of borrowing materials and perfect library facilities. First of all, we should know the readers' age, education level and perfect library facilities. First of all, we should know the readers' age, education level and understanding of this topic, as well as the types of periodicals to be published, which will affect the scope of topic selection and attitude towards materials. Secondly, the number of words in the full text also has an important influence, as long as the problem is explained comprehensively and profoundly; Finally, the more information in the library, the longer it takes to prepare the paper, the more detailed the paper and the wider the research scope.
Step 2: After you can find the topic, you need to go to the library to find the information about the topic. Therefore, according to the research subject words, we should search the corresponding literature in the library and database, sort it out, and then sort it out. In traditional research, the most important thing is philology, and the most important thing in philology is literature classification. By studying philology, we can understand the classification of Taoist literature and special topics. From this, we can initially understand the corresponding position of subject literature in the library and database. On the other hand, making full use of literature retrieval tools can also help us find relevant materials and documents. Taking the study of Ming history as an example, we can use Zhou's Biographical Data Collection of Ming Dynasty, one of which is the index of biographical data, and there are many similar indexes, such as the Classified Index of Collected Works of Qing Dynasty. Through this kind of reference books, you can find literature on related topics. After collecting the data, it is necessary to group them according to the corresponding classification method, and sort out the sorted data by category. After that, we can check whether all the information is reliable through the following aspects: 1) the author's reputation and popularity; 2) the reputation of the publishing house; 3) publication date, the closer the publication date, the newer the content; 4) Generally speaking, the more professional the magazine, the more credible the article. 5) The contents of the book, including preface, introduction, index, footnotes, references and appendices, can provide reference for the credibility of the materials.
The third step is to read and take notes after the search for information is basically completed. When reading books and articles, you need to take a lot of reading notes and put the conception and writing of the paper in the future. Correct research methods and reading notes must start with the theme statement and temporary outline of the paper. The literal meaning of the theme statement is the statement of the solution, so the theme statement is usually used to promote the construction of the paper framework, which is also the key problem to be solved in the author's research. He can help the author to sort out the clues, judge the content irrelevant to the topic in the reading materials, and avoid recording a lot of information irrelevant to the research topic. Before writing a theme statement, you must think carefully, so that you can finally focus on the central idea.
The fourth step, if the notes are clear and organized, the next step is to classify these notes by subject, and then by importance to ensure that the required information is easy to obtain, and then you can write the first draft of the paper. In the elaboration part of the paper, it is necessary to clarify the basic point of view of the paper, so that the paper can focus on this point of view. The introduction is the main body and the most important and longest part of the paper. The length of the paper itself determines the length of the conclusion. Thesis writing must be unified and coherent, and the unity of the article is mainly achieved by carefully organizing opinions into paragraphs, and each paragraph is expressed by a series of related sentences. The coherence of the article needs to be achieved by the following means: the use of conjunctions and phrases, the repetition of keywords and phrases, the restatement of some viewpoints and the use of synonyms of keywords, the consistency of characters in the whole article, and the logical organization of content and arguments. Attention should also be paid to keeping the article concise. If a paragraph can be condensed into a sentence, or the sentence can be shortened, or the sentence can be condensed into a phrase or vocabulary, or the vocabulary can be omitted, then the vocabulary can be deleted. Finally, check and proofread the whole paper, and check all the problems such as grammar, technical details, paper structure and style.
Finally, introduce the writing format of the paper. Generally speaking, the paper includes the following parts: information before the text, text, references and appendix. The materials before the text include the title, author, paper category, college name, completion date, preface or preface, catalogue, table catalogue and graphic catalogue.
References and appendices, after the text, should list the references related to the performance theme. If the number of references is small, just list them in order. If the quantity is large, it needs to be listed separately by books and periodicals. Appendices can provide more interesting and topic-related materials, but they cannot be included in the text because they are not closely related to the text. Appendices may include additional tables, research materials, reference materials and other explanatory materials. Appendix defense references can be used before and after.
