A research article, as its name implies, is a theoretical article written after investigating a certain problem. Research articles are based on investigation, focusing on research and aiming at discussion. They are not just simple comments on the facts of right and wrong, good and bad, advanced and backward. Some people regard the investigation report as a research article, which is wrong, because the investigation report only pays attention to investigation, not research, only shows the facts and data of the problem, does not make further analysis and reasoning on the facts and data, and does not draw constructive exploration and practical results, so the investigation report is not a research article. Some people regard work summary as a research article, which is even more wrong, because work summary is a summary of past work achievements and experiences, not a special investigation and demonstration of a certain problem, let alone a research article. Similarly, news reports and advanced deeds are not research articles. Research articles mainly reflect problems, and often report more worries than good news. The purpose is to explore, innovate and solve problems, and exchange the worries of ancestors for the happiness of future generations.
The "tone" of the research article is to investigate and understand, that is, to go deep into the grassroots, to go deep into the reality, to investigate the problems, and to collect information and data. "Research" is to analyze and study the problems found in the investigation and put forward suggestions or measures to control the development and changes of the problems. Since it is research, it is necessary to conduct in-depth investigation, understanding, analysis and thinking on the frontier, marginal and emerging issues or key, difficult, hot or focus issues in the work, rather than talking about general issues casually. The research article is written on the basis of investigation and study, not hearsay, behind closed doors and thinking hard.
Second, the choice of research topics.
The research topic refers to the problems that researchers investigate, analyze and discuss, and also the problems reflected in the research articles. There are three forms of research topics: the first is propositional research, that is, the research topics are determined by superiors in advance, and researchers can only carry out research according to the topics determined by superiors and write research articles with the title of research topics; The second is semi-propositional research, that is, the superior only stipulates the scope of the research topic, and the topic of the specific research article is selected and determined by the researcher according to the research work; The third is free research, that is, the superior does not specify the research scope or specific problems, and the researcher chooses his own research topic and the title of the research article according to his own work practice and his own hobbies. There are a wide range of problems that can be investigated in practical work. Taking tax work as an example, there are still some imperfections in tax management, tax collection, tax law publicity, tax inspection, tax information construction, cadre team construction, quality construction of tax collection and management, and party style and clean government construction, and there are still problems that need to be further solved. These problems can be used as our research topics. So, in the face of many topics, how should we choose? There are several methods for reference: first, choose familiar and exposed problems; The second is to choose questions that you are interested in or have thought about; The third is to choose the key, difficult, hot or focus issues in the current work. The reason for this choice is that the topics selected by these methods can reduce the difficulty of investigation, reduce the workload of investigation, collect information more easily, write articles that are more suitable for practical work, have higher reference value and are more likely to be adopted.
Third, study the stylistic format of the article.
Although a research article has many paragraphs, large and small titles and distinct serial numbers, it is nothing more than three parts: the beginning (that is, the introduction), the body (that is, the theory) and the end (that is, the conclusion).
The beginning mainly explains the writing background, motivation or purpose, that is to say, under what circumstances, why, what role and purpose this article was written. This part is usually written in dozens to hundreds of words and clearly stated. It is necessary for readers or editors to see the main content as soon as possible. There is no need to talk about the situation, tasks and work development, nor to describe the investigation process. But from a certain height, it reflects the necessity and value of writing this article.
The main part is mainly to ask questions, analyze problems and solve problems, occupying the largest space, generally thousands of words. When you ask questions, you should look at the specific situation. If the problems are common, you can list them directly without going into details. If the problem is not common, it is necessary to explain the conditions of the problem or the process of finding the problem, so as to be realistic or credible. Generally speaking, there are three points to explain when analyzing problems. First, the causes and conditions of the problem; Second, the status quo and influence of the problem. The present situation should be illustrated by the facts and data of the investigation. This kind of influence includes both favorable and unfavorable influences. Both aspects should be based on facts, which makes people feel that the good aspects are worth learning and the bad ones must be solved. Solving problems means putting forward suggestions or measures to solve existing problems, which should be simple, reasonable and feasible. Simple means easy to operate and implement without creating special conditions; Rationality means that it meets the needs of the work and is conducive to the development of the work, and most people are willing to accept it; The feasibility is less investment, high efficiency and quick effect, which is in line with national policies.
At the end of the paper, the main contents of the article are summarized comprehensively, and some implementation requirements are put forward for the suggestions and measures put forward by the main part. Some make prospects and predictions about the development and changes of the problem; Some emphasize the purpose and significance of writing this article, echoing the beginning. As for which ending is better, it depends on the discussion and structure of the specific article.
Fourth, the preparation work before writing a research article
When we decide to write a research article, we must first determine the research topic, that is, what to write and what to write. Be sure to decide in advance and have a clear writing purpose and direction. The second is to collect research data, including investigating the causes, development status and impact of problems, consulting relevant materials and records, and understanding the views or opinions of relevant personnel on problems, and at the same time being familiar with laws and regulations or policies and regulations made by higher authorities on such problems. Only by in-depth investigation can we have a more objective, true, accurate and comprehensive understanding of the problem, obtain first-hand information and have a perceptual understanding. The third is to analyze the essence of the problem, that is, to classify, screen, summarize and summarize all the information and data obtained from one's own investigation, to get rid of the rough and the fine, to get rid of the false and keep the true, to find out the ins and outs of the problem, the causes and outs and its advantages and disadvantages to the work, and to find out the inevitable trend and law of the development and change of the problem. The fourth is to put forward countermeasures, that is, according to the results of analysis and research, put forward suggestions and measures to control the problem in a favorable direction. Suggestions and measures must be based on reality, long-term, practical and feasible to solve current problems, and macroscopic and strategic to adapt to reform and development.
Fifth, study the writing steps of the article.
Writing research articles, like writing other long articles, has certain steps. The first is to draw up an outline, that is, how many parts to write in this article, what parts to write, what facts and data to quote, etc. All these should be designed and planned in advance, and written or drafted in the form of an outline to enhance the rationality and artistry of the article structure. Secondly, selecting materials, classifying, screening, summarizing and refining the materials obtained from the investigation according to the outline requirements, eliminating useless parts and retaining useful parts. The third is writing, that is, according to the requirements of the outline, the selected materials are "combined" through certain forms and methods to form a research article with rich content, complete form, up-and-down linkage and reasonable structure. The fourth is to modify and refine, that is, to correct the errors in writing and grammar of a large number of articles, to further verify the data materials, to further adjust the paragraph level, and to further refine the theme. The purpose of revision is to make the article clear, with appropriate words, details and Zhang Chi. The revision must be repeated many times until it is completely satisfactory. A valuable research article should be novel in conception, rigorous in wording, exquisite in content, and thorough in reasoning, so that people can be inspired and improved after reading it, instead of not wanting to read the next page after reading the previous page, or barely reading inferior products that waste time.
Common problems and avoidance methods in intransitive verb research articles
I often read the research articles written by comrades, and most of them have some problems more or less, which can be summarized as follows:
1, the title is not properly written: the main problem is that the generality is not strong, and the main content and main points of the article cannot be seen from the title; Second, the proposition is too big or too small, which is not commensurate with the main content of the article; Third, it is not novel enough to attract readers' attention; Fourth, lack of research characteristics, unlike research topics. The problems in the topic, except for the investigation of the proposition, are all caused by insufficient thinking or the inability to put forward the proposition, except for the uncertainty of the scope, direction or main spirit of the research topic. We can't change the topic of the proposition investigation, we can only find a way from the breadth and depth of the investigation or the theme of the article. First of all, we should make supplementary investigations to obtain more detailed and targeted information. Second, it is necessary to further revise and adjust the content of the article and refine the theme of the article to meet the requirements of the research topic. For free research or semi-propositional research, the title can be rewritten according to the content of the article, and the content of the article can be modified and adjusted according to the outline requirements.
2. Weak analysis and demonstration: the main problem is the lack of examples to illustrate the existing problems; Second, there are many empty words, insufficient analysis and weak argumentation. Third, the thinking is unclear, and the proposed measures are unreasonable or lack of operability; Fourth, people follow suit and lack original ideas. For the problems existing in the analysis and demonstration, first, we should conduct in-depth investigation and master a large number of first-hand information and data; Second, we should seek truth from facts, stand firm and dare to expose and analyze problems; Third, raise awareness, clarify ideas and clarify the purpose of research and writing; Fourth, we should read more articles on similar topics in newspapers and periodicals, understand other people's views and ideas, analyze problems from different angles, and put forward distinctive measures and suggestions.
3. The stylistic format is not standardized: the main problem is that the introduction is too long or there is no introduction. The lengthy introduction is written in five or six hundred words, without talking about the main content, which reduces the interest of readers or editors in reading the following. An article without introduction directly talks about the problem, which makes people feel suddenly confused and confused about the author's purpose and intention, and it is difficult to agree with the author's analysis and argumentation. Second, anticlimactic, with a high starting point, but the main part did not raise weighty questions, or although questions were raised, the analysis was not profound. Third, it is bloated and lengthy, pouring out at will, procrastinating, and not closely related to the theme. Fourth, there is no correspondence between before and after, some lack of analysis of the problem, and some fail to put forward suggestions and measures for the problem. The methods to solve the stylistic problems have been discussed in the last section, so I won't repeat them here.
Seven, methods to improve the writing level of scientific research articles
There are many ways to improve your writing. As far as our cadres are concerned, there are usually the following methods: First, read more books, that is, read more official articles. Reading other people's articles not only helps us to learn writing, thinking, structure and argumentation methods, but also helps us to understand the research situation of similar topics. The second is more practice, that is, more investigation, more research and more writing. Practice makes perfect, and only by increasing the quantity can the quality be improved. Third, thinking more, including the analysis and research before writing, the layout of the scheme in writing and the modification and refinement after writing, all require in-depth thinking, thorough analysis, accurate judgment and novel ideas. Fourth, we should ask more questions, that is, ask people with writing experience for advice, ask them to help us find problems, make suggestions, or help us process and modify written articles.
In short, to write a valuable and level article, you must go through in-depth investigation and understanding, careful analysis and research, careful planning and layout, and repeated revisions and refinements to succeed. If you don't freeze, you can't smell plum blossoms. Although different writers have different ways of thinking and writing habits, investigation, research, drafting and revision are all necessary steps. As long as they are willing to study hard, read more books, practice more, think more, ask more questions, study hard for a long time and practice hard, they will accumulate writing experience, master writing skills and constantly improve the writing level of scientific research articles.
I hope I can help you and wish you success in your studies.
