Master's thesis is inevitable for graduate students to write and publish when they graduate. This is an inherent cognition. So how should we understand the academic norms of master's thesis? I have sorted out some materials in this issue. I hope I can help you.
The standardization of academic papers is the basic principle that should be followed in the process of research and expression. It establishes the general standard for evaluating the quality of academic papers through a comprehensive analysis of the characteristics of academic papers.
Academic norms contain rich connotations at multiple levels and dimensions. The characteristics of academic papers are academic, scientific, creative and theoretical. Academic nature refers to the academic nature of language, content and problems.
The connotation of creativity includes: whether to overturn the previous incorrect conclusion; Whether there are new discoveries, new theories or new problems; Although the research is an old problem, is there any new idea, or is it improved by finding deficiencies in the application of inheriting the previous achievements; Whether it reflects the unique opinions among many views. Scientificity refers to the knowledge and conclusions that conform to the law, are true and accurate. In academic research, it shows that the content is accurate, the thinking is rigorous and the reasoning is logical. Theoretical means that in the process of writing a paper, we use theoretical thinking to analyze the essence and laws of things through abstraction, generalization and reasoning, and use the demonstration method composed of concept, judgment and reasoning to solve problems, so as to raise the solved problems from general phenomena to a certain theoretical height. All these norms can be summed up into three levels: (1) moral level, that is, stick to academic morality, study by virtue, and rely mainly on self-discipline; (2) The spiritual level, that is, the rigorous academic attitude and the scientific spirit of seeking truth from facts (3) the technical level, that is, the general writing format and style of the thesis should be observed.
Master thesis writing should strictly follow the normative requirements of these aspects and strictly accept the constraints of institutionalized norms, so as to ensure the writing of academic papers with common standards and certain academic value. Master's thesis writing is the most basic professional academic training. Its main purpose is to let students understand the basic principles and procedures of academic thesis writing, clarify the awareness of academic norms, master the laws and methods of thesis writing, and achieve the purpose of applying what they have learned and combining theory with practice. If we do not carry out basic academic standard education and academic training, there may be unnecessary plagiarism, embezzlement, patchwork and other misconduct in the process of thesis writing, which will inevitably create a vicious circle in the academic community. Therefore, academic standard education and academic training should become the core content in the process of master's thesis writing.
