What are the routines for choosing a topic?

Several Common Classification and Paradigms of Topic Selection

1. Literature review papers

For literature review papers, XXX literature review can be used as a proposition, which is also the simplest and most basic proposition, and some of them are slightly deeper: the research status of XXX at home and abroad, the review of XXX, and so on.

2. The paper expounds the causes and countermeasures of the problems.

This is the most common small file type. For papers that find problems, analyze reasons and make suggestions, common topics are XXX problems and countermeasures, challenges and countermeasures faced by XXX, and impact analysis of XXX.

3. Empirical analysis papers.

This is a paper that needs hypothesis testing and regression analysis. The common themes of the thesis are: XXX empirical research, XXX-based test, XXX influencing factors research, XXX cause analysis, XXX-based research and so on.

Fourth, the skills of topic selection and the correct use of HowNet

In fact, you need to collect information from many sources to determine the topic of your thesis, and the best tool we can use is HowNet. Making good use of HowNet can help you choose topics efficiently.

1, academic trends and hot spots

In the column of learning and research on the right side of the homepage of China HowNet, find the academic trend search or academic research hotspots, click in to see what the recent papers related to your major are, find a direction you can grasp, and determine the topic of the paper.

2. Academic journals

You can also start with journals, refer to journals with strong professional fields, see what research papers have been registered in these journals recently, find century journals in the resource library of China Knowledge Network, and then select journals according to your major to search. Summarize the research hotspots from the topics of these excellent journals, and you can also introduce the words you think are better from other people's topics into your own thesis topics, but don't copy them.

Consultants are more knowledgeable and sensitive to academic trends than we are. Sometimes there are some projects that need to be published, and the tutor can give you more accurate research direction. Although this method saves the most time and effort, it is not recommended to use it frequently. After all, tutors still like students with learning ability. I will find a tutor to discuss several topics by collecting information, so that I can improve myself faster.

The above three items are just convenient and easy-to-use methods that I summed up in the process of writing. If we can learn about the recent research hotspots and trends in the professional field from other channels, we can also determine the topic of the paper according to the information we have learned.

The title of the paper is the highly concentrated content of the paper, which is the core of the article. When a paper is submitted to reviewers, their first concern is your topic. If your topic is boring or too macro, it will lower your impression score. The topic can let the reviewers know the general content of your article. If you find that the topic of the paper does not match the content, no matter how high your topic is, the whole article will be greatly discounted. Therefore, we must attach great importance to the topic selection, avoid macro topic selection, inconsistent articles and lengthy topics, master the basic topic selection routines, and then upgrade and refine them on this basis.
