Let’s talk about the ten misunderstandings that novices often fall into when writing papers in scientific research!
Misunderstanding 1: The paper topic is seeking new and different, and it is impossible to implement it
The paper topic blindly pursues "innovation", and even wants to do a topic that is unprecedented and has no future. This can easily make yourself fall into a topic with strange deviations. For topics like
, that is, lacks reference , does not have extensive practical significance , and it is difficult to produce good scientific research results! What is more important than innovation is its feasibility and practicality. Its topics that can be created using the existing scientific research resources of oneself/team is a good topic.
So you might as well start from a "unusual" topic and enrich and improve step by step, and follows the rules and strictly regulates the completion of .
Misconception 2: Use words and sentences to be profound, and the expression is not clear
In order to show your language level, the writing is The accumulation of long sentences/complex sentences abuses the rare "high-end" phrase . This practice is all about having something to say!
Don’t look at the English “advanced” words recommended by various bloggers to you. Simplicity and clarity are the most advanced expressions of academic paper writing.
is simple and clear, and expressions express the meaning are the first essential for academic paper writing . If you can use simple sentences, don’t use clauses, and if you can use common words, don’t use unusual words.
Focus on the content/structure/logic of writing is the foundation of high-quality output. language, just be an minimalist person!
Misunderstanding 3: Literature review lists documents everywhere, no matter where click
Literature review too much reference content and too miscellaneous , from news reports to business reports, from Wikipedia to dictionary translation, everything is listed as references.
This cannot ensure the quality of the reference source, nor can it form its own arguments, and it cannot serve its own papers.
The first step in the literature review is that should effectively screen the literature . Non-related/low-quality/obscure and difficult-to-understand documents should be eliminated and not read. This not only increases the efficiency of literature reading, but also ensures the quality of references.
Reference There are choices and deeds, and the literature review is detailed and brief, and it is discussed in a targeted manner around the key argument .
Misunderstanding 4: It is believed that humanities and social science research has no data, and empty vernacular
Compared with science and engineering, Humanities and social science research pays more attention to the output of opinions , so a common misunderstanding of social science new is that it believes that social science research does not require data.
However, data has many forms, text/interview/dialogue, all of which are data , and these data are the key to social science research.
Whether it is quantitative or qualitative research, data is required as the basis. is a criterion for scientific analysis of data that runs through all disciplines.
So, except for a few purely opinionated papers, most scientific research needs data support. Don’t think that “liberal arts” does not require data!
The end of the summer heat has reached the "last summer" of the "three heats" of the high temperature weather. The temperature will not rise suddenly. The hot and unbearable weather is coming to an end, and the overall trend of heavy rains in various places has weakened.
Misconception 5: Research findings are presented in a purely discourse way. Without charts,
When writing research findings (Findings & Discussion), they are full of words. Readers cannot quickly and effectively obtain paper information , causing readers to fatigue.
Whether it is a tutor, reviewer, or external review expert, they are ordinary readers and will have the mentality of "not reading it for too long".
Even if it is a purely qualitative study, can use the chart to clearly present the main discoveries of the paper, one picture/chart is better than a thousand words.
The oresentation of the paper is also an important dimension to measure the quality of the paper.I'll tell you quietly: children only read texts, but adults only read pictures.
Misunderstanding 6: The paper summary is done in a hurry, and everything will be fine after finishing writing it
Write the paper summary, and basically I can only hold on in one breath! At this time, I want to finish it up in a hurry, fool things up, and have to be free to finish it. Everyone has this mentality.
However, the end of the paper is the key to summarizing and sublimating the whole text. With the last breath, you must try your best to write the flowers.
uses the total score structure of . First review the whole text and then look at the three directions of theoretical contribution, practical contribution and future research , discussing them one by one, showing the highlights of the paper in all aspects
Misunderstanding 7: Revise the paper repeatedly after writing, pursuing perfection and perfection
After writing the paper, I always feel that everything is not good, and I need to change it everywhere. , read it and modify it again and again, hesitated repeatedly, and could not finalize it. There is nothing wrong with pursuing perfection, but the time and energy spent on repeated modifications are not proportional to the final improvement of the paper. It is often the that will work hard and then lose all the time and effort to make the best in limited time/limited resources.
After writing the last word of the thesis, tell yourself that this is the best way for your thesis.
read it through, change the language details, and then make a decision and then send it to the instructor/collaborator decisively.
Autumn is a season for parting
Dilute your sentimentality with her bleakness
Like a friend who will cry with you
ml2
far better than ten thousand words of comfort and encouragement
Misunderstanding 8: The repetition rate should be reduced to the lowest, as low as zero,
After a famous event, the repetition rate of the paper seems to have become a particularly sensitive issue, and checking and reducing weight seems to have become an important part of paper writing.
Everyone seems to think that the lower the repetition rate of the paper, the better, and it is better to have zero repetitions, which is the proof of no plagiarism.
In fact, most SCI/SSCI journals are that allow a certain degree of repetition rate. Generally, the repetition rate is acceptable at around 20% (including the full text of reference).
As long as there is no "moving operation" during the writing process, the repetition rate of the final paper is generally within the acceptable range.
is unacceptable, is a repetition of the whole sentence/whole paragraph, and nothing can do!
Misunderstanding 9: I only started to choose a journal after I finished writing the paper. I dare not invest in a very good journal
I only started to worry about what journal to invest in. At the same time, I had no confidence in my paper and felt that I was "not worthy of" a very good journal and I dared not try it.
However, each journal has different research focus/format requirements. After selecting a journal, it must be modified from beginning to end to journal requirements. These are unnecessary troubles caused by starting to select journals too late .
When you first start writing a paper with , you should determine several alternative journals and think of your writing style and the layout format of the paper.
is difficult to publish a good journal, but not that difficult, and the review process is very random. It is beneficial to try a good journal without any harm (except for being rejected and being hit by a blow)
prepare early, bravely contribute, be a strong contributor!
mism 10: When the manuscript is rejected, it begins to doubt life, scientific research stagnates
The paper I have worked hard to write is criticized by the reviewer. I feel that I am useless and begins to doubt life, don’t want to do scientific research, and feel that I am very garbage.
in scientific research greatly affected his scientific research progress, and scientific research began to stagnate
It is normal for papers to be rejected in scientific research! After being rejected, modify it if it can be modified. If it cannot be modified, ignore it if it cannot be modified, and then quickly cast it out!
You may be sad when there is only one paper and it is rejected, but when you have ten papers reviewed at the same time, one paper is rejected at this time, and it becomes an inconsequential little thing.
So maintains efficiency and continuously output, making your stockpiling your greatest confidence
I am a royal academic boss and will continue to share postgraduate entrance examination dry goods, scientific research knowledge, paper writing skills, etc. Everyone is welcome to focus! ! !
