Graduation** is an important milestone in every student's four-year academic career, which is not only a summary of academic research, but also a test of personal academic ability and way of thinking. However, in the process of writing, many people are prone to fall into some common minefields, which affect the quality and evaluation of **. This article will list 9 common minefields in graduation writing to help you avoid touching them in your writing, so as to improve your level.
First, the topic selection is not clear and "big and empty".
In writing, it is crucial to be clear about the topic. If the topic is unclear or too broad, it will lead to a lack of depth in the content and make it difficult for the reader to understand the author's intentions. Therefore, when determining the topic, you should choose a specific and clear question and conduct in-depth research around the issue.
How do you position and express your research and its significance? Whether the core concepts are clear, appropriate and reasonable will affect the direction and effectiveness of the research, which are important steps for the authors to return the problem to its essence under the author's self-consciousness, so as to simplify the complex problem and clarify the concept.
2. Citations without footnotes.
1.Before writing academic **, we generally write a literature review and a proposal report, and in the literature, we will generally summarize the general opinions of the academic community and the opinions of various experts on the thesis, and it is normal to cite others in **;
2.Don't leave anything to chance, don't fool your teacher, your ability, the teacher knows very well;
3.Write your **, and the teacher who studies the field can probably point out which parts you borrowed and which parts you wrote yourself;
4.It's not your point of view, just indicate the ** and the source, don't be ashamed to answer, with your current ability may not be able to create a set of theories, the teacher can actually understand.
Summary: In graduation writing, it is very important to cite correctly and annotate footnotes. The source must be indicated when quoting other people's opinions and data, which is the basic requirement of academic norms and the respect for the intellectual property rights of others. Failure to annotate the footnotes may call into question the credibility of ** on the one hand, and academic misconduct on the other. Therefore, when compiling **, it is important to pay attention to the normative nature of citations, correctly mark footnotes, and ensure the academic value and credibility of **.
Third, the format and typesetting do not meet the requirements.
The formatting of graduation is one of the important factors in evaluating the quality of the graduation, and it is also the basic requirement of academic standards. Different schools and academic journals often have different formatting requirements, so authors should carefully read the relevant regulations and typeset according to the requirements when writing. If the formatting does not meet the requirements, it may lead to being returned for rework, and even affect the publication. Therefore, in the process of writing, the author should pay attention to the standardization of formatting and typesetting to ensure the overall quality and aesthetics of the company.
1.**The format is not universal, each school has its own set of graduation ** format requirements, which will generally be published on the school's official website, be sure to read the authoritative format version released by the school carefully;
2.There is nothing difficult to understand about the format, come as required, don't refer to other versions, don't invent yourself;
3.When modifying, you can use more format brushes, which can save a lot of time;
4.When writing, pay attention to saving the document, set the automatic save time, and save the backup file to prevent file corruption.
Fourth, directly cite a large number of data.
Quoting data directly and extensively is one of the common mistakes in graduation writing. Although it is necessary to cite data, over-quoting or directly copying and pasting a large amount of data will lead to a loss of quality, and may even be identified as plagiarism.
First of all, a large number of citation data will increase the plagiarism rate of **, resulting in ** being returned for retake or judged to be plagiarism, which will seriously affect the author's academic reputation and graduation evaluation. Second, over-citing data can also affect the readability and academic value of the data. If the data is simply piled up without in-depth analysis and interpretation, then the quality and significance of ** will be greatly reduced. Therefore, in graduation writing, writers should avoid over-citing data. If data needs to be cited, it should be filtered, organized, and analyzed to present it in a concise and clear manner, with attribution acknowledged. At the same time, authors should also pay attention to cultivating their own analytical and interpretation skills, conduct in-depth analysis and interpretation of data, put forward their own insights and opinions, and increase the academic value of **.
5. Use other people's footnotes directly.
1.When collecting and sorting out ** materials, some people will think that this quote from others is very good, so they directly copy this quote into their own article, and also clearly mark the footnote**, so that it is over?
2.Academics are uneven, and some footnotes are not standardized, or even fake. If you are not a core journal, if you are not an academic expert, if you are not sure about the authenticity of the footnotes, you must pay more attention to check to see if there is this article at the end;
3.Academic** will always have footnotes, and it is recommended that at least one footnote appear on every page.
6. Use translation software to complete the English abstract directly.
1.**The cover is followed by a Chinese and English abstract, do not use translation software to translate directly from Chinese to English. The result of this translation is only one: it doesn't even understand grammar;
2.Don't leave anything to chance, English abstracts are very professional and difficult to write, so be sure to leave enough time to take them seriously;
3.The English abstract should be written in simple sentences as much as possible, the expression requirements should be accurate and complete, the use of colloquial language should be avoided, and common words that are easy to understand should be used, and unfamiliar words should not be used;
4.The work done by the author is in the past tense, and the conclusion is in the present tense, and the active voice is mostly used.
7. Literature reviews are stacked and analyzed and summarized.
1.The literature review shows how researchers stand on the "shoulders of giants" and carve out their own research space;
2.Some of the reviews are too numerous, but most of them are accumulations of historical data or celebrity opinions that are somewhat related to the research but are not directly related, rather than the research summary of the current researcher to study the problem;
3.With a large number of materials and few analysis and generalization, it is difficult to see the researcher's personal understanding, evaluation and personal opinion tendency.
8. Books that have not been read are included in the references.
1.At the end of **, there will be a special page of references, and all kinds of literature bear the brunt of the works. Don't think "it looks beautiful" and write more basic works;
2.If you haven't read a book, don't stuff it into the references. To know is to know, and not to know is not to know. If you haven't read it, you haven't read it, and no one laughs at you, but it's wrong if you don't know how to pretend to understand.
9. Plagiarize other people's concluding acknowledgments.
1.Closing acknowledgments is the last part of **, you are not far from success when you write here, but you still need to be cautious and don't fall short;
2.Don't directly copy other people's "thanks", the "concluding acknowledgments" part is often hundreds of words, and after writing so many words, don't you have something you want to express?
