The second step is to choose the topic.
The first job to start writing a paper is to determine the topic. As the saying goes, "a topic is half finished", so choosing a topic is a very important job. Generally speaking, the topic selection should give consideration to innovation, feasibility and exploration.
Innovation is the selection of topics and research, and we should have our own innovations: if it is theoretical research, we should put forward new ideas and concepts on the basis of new discoveries and form new theories; Or make important amendments or supplements to the original theory to make it perfect; If it is applied research, it is necessary to create new technologies, new methods, new materials, new processes or new products, or make major improvements on the original basis.
The subjective and objective conditions needed for scientific research must be fully considered in the feasibility selection of the subject. We should combine our own abilities and choose subjects that can give full play to our professional expertise; At the same time, we should also consider the conditions needed for scientific research, such as the length of time, experimental equipment, experimental funds and so on. On the other hand, feasibility requires that when selecting a topic, we should pay attention to the moderate academic scope involved and not be greedy for perfection. Because the size of the topic is commensurate with the length of the paper, and it is adapted to the level requirements and level of the paper. If the topic is set too wide and too big, it is easy to become superficial, it is difficult to grasp the overall situation, and it is impossible to conduct in-depth and detailed analysis. Writing is often very general and superficial. Generally speaking, small and specific topics are better, and small topics are easier to control. Sometimes choosing some so-called "small" topics for in-depth research and thorough analysis can often achieve satisfactory results.
Exploratory means that the topic selection should be combined with the reality and based on the previous research results, and strive to jump out of the established "box" and boldly verify.
The third step is to write an outline.
The role of the thesis outline is very important. With the outline, the outline can be lifted. The outline of the paper can not only ensure the organization, logic and persuasiveness of the content of the paper, but also effectively avoid the lack or disorder of writing.
At the same time, listing the outline of the paper is also a process of thinking, which can find out the problems in time, and is also convenient to further clarify the materials to be searched, the difficulties that may be faced, and determine the research methods.
The method is briefly described as follows:
(1) First draw up the topic and write the general argument;
(2) The overall layout of the whole paper;
(3) Think about the lower arguments of each project until the paragraph level, and make a paragraph;
(4) Consider the arrangement of each paragraph in turn and code the materials to be used for writing;
(5) Comprehensive inspection and necessary additions and deletions;
The fourth step, writing revision.
Draw up an outline, and don't start writing after you finish the first draft of the plan. Revise the plan in two days. Give it to someone else for revision in two days. After a week, revise it yourself and finalize it through consultation with the tutor (or other experienced seniors/students).
Next, according to the outline, the paper will be developed, and the specific steps will be detailed in the next paragraph. Don't revise the paper immediately after it is finished. Wait two weeks, and then read the paper for the first time after you forget some inherent concepts.
