I. Selection of the topic to establish
Selection of topic is the first step of thesis writing, which determines the research direction of the thesis and the quality of research results. The following factors should be considered when choosing the topic:
1. close to the speciality and have research value
2. have a large amount of data to be collected
3. to see the big picture in a small way, in-depth analysis, highlighting a unique perspective
Second, data collection
1. search for information related to the selected topic, including literature, figures and factual information;
2. screen quality and closely related to the selected topic of literature for in-depth study.
The reading strategy is as follows:
1. read through to get a summary of the text. 2. selectively read to focus on the literature related to the topic;
2. select and focus on the parts related to the topic. 3. organise and summarise the literature;
3. Organise and summarise the literature in order to understand the history and current situation of the topic, and reflect on the research results, opinions and insights of the predecessors, so as to provide references for the direction and orientation of our own research.
Outline
Outline is the skeleton of the thesis, the preparation of a detailed and thorough outline will help to ensure that the structure of the thesis is clear and rigorous, the beginning and the end of the echo. The following considerations should be taken into account in the preparation of the outline. 1:
1. Determine the main components, and fill in the content of each part;
2. set the length of each part reasonably to avoid disproportion;
3. actively communicate with the tutor to adjust the outline in time.
IV. Thesis Writing
(Abstract)
The abstract should succinctly and clearly summarise the research background, objectives, methods, results and conclusions of the thesis, highlighting its significance. The language should be concise and precise, and the focus should be prominent.
1. research background/purpose;
2. research methodology;
3. research results/findings;
4. research conclusions and implications.
The abstract should ensure overall clarity of content, precise language and can stand on its own.
(Keywords)
Keywords are required for computer searches and are intended to identify the subject of the article. Select nouns or phrases that are closely related to the topic of the paper and have a high frequency, usually three to seven.
Keywords should be extracted from the title, abstract, headings and important passages of the paper, arranged in the order of occurrence and spaced by commas or semicolons.
