What aspects should we pay attention to when quoting references when writing graduation thesis? I want to share with you this episode, hoping to help you.

　　1. Although direct quotation is rare in thesis writing, rewriting of original materials is common. If you use the ideas and achievements of others, you need to indicate the source in the text and list it in the literature list at the end of the article.

　　2. References are not only a kind of recognition of others' contributions, but also can further guide readers to obtain information in other documents of interest. In addition, the literature also provides the editor with the reviewer information, and shows the author's familiarity with the professional field.

　　3. Most authors collect more literature than they need for a manuscript. It is difficult to select relevant literatures from all literatures. The review article contains a lot of literature because it contains a lot of information, but the research paper is different. It should only list the most relevant literature, and in order to make it easy for readers to read, we should try to control the number of literature at an appropriate scale or the scale required by the Journal.

　　4. The most relevant literature is usually journal papers, books and doctoral dissertations. Conference abstracts, conference proceedings, personal communications and unpublished data can be quoted in parentheses in the text, but these documents are generally not listed in the references after the text. They can only be used to support research results, not any important conclusions, and cannot be used as the most relevant or effective documents.

　　In order to reduce the number of documents, cite the original articles and select the most important, the highest level or the most recent papers, rather than listing all the papers on a topic. First hand materials should be cited to confirm specific research results, which are the original data, results and theories of scientists who have been peer reviewed and published. Review articles can also be used in the overview of a topic, which is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of a topic.

　　If you quote others' works, you must indicate the complete source - footnotes or endnotes are OK. Therefore, we need to learn to label correctly when quoting references.
