Topics in thesis writing

The topic of the thesis includes choosing a topic that can be discussed and choosing a path for writing. Topic selection is the first step in thesis writing and is an important and difficult step. The analysis of good-choice questions is mostly based on critical thinking, and they find the topic from the commonplace. I envy them for their inspiration, and I also know deeply: "Inspiration is not a beautiful wave, but a mental state like a yak doing all the work."

1. Why do you say "half the title"?

The topic is the first step in thesis writing. The topic includes choosing a suitable topic and presenting valuable arguments. Academic papers are different from propositional papers. What topics are written require the author to think, discover, and choose. "Half of the good text" is a summary of many authors' writing experience. Because a good topic is established, it is possible to write a good paper. On the contrary, even if the language is clear and the structure is clear, and the argument is not new or the topic has no value, it cannot be written. Good papers. Because the topic of nursing papers refers to the whole research project or a part of the writing content after the completion of the nursing research project, the topic selection is closely related to the scientific research topic. In the selection of scientific research topics, it is necessary to fully investigate and demonstrate. Some articles are not well-founded because of the low starting point of scientific research, the design is not strict, the comparability is poor, the arguments are difficult to establish, and the strong articles are inevitable. When editing the manuscript of the first review, the first thing is to look at the topic, that is, whether it is a essay, and whether there is any author's point of view and experience. This is the most basic criterion for judging whether a paper can be used. The author must work hard on the topic. The appendix is ​​elaborated in the article “Nursing thesis of the nursing paper in the first paragraph” after this chapter for reference.

2. Is there a difference between the topic and the argument?

For nursing academic papers, there are differences between the thesis and the arguments. They have different concepts and different connotations, but they are related. In an essay, there are only thesis, no arguments, no essays; it is not possible to have arguments, no themes, and the two are interdependent. Finding out the relationship helps to improve the level of the topic. The topic is the question raised by the author and the content and scope of the paper. The argument is the author's views, opinions, and opinions on the topic. The former is the "border" that establishes the paper, and the latter is the "flag" of the tree. The argument is the answer to the topic. The topic is the limitation of the argument. If the topic is the nursing of senior patients, but there is no characteristics of senior citizens in the text, it is applicable to any age group. Without the author's point of view, this "flag" is not planted; there are also papers on the treatment of diseases, such as What to do with surgery, what medicine to use, maybe the argument is correct, but the problem involved is the "border" of care. When talking about the difference and connection between the topic and the argument, it is necessary to explain the same topic, which can have different arguments, especially the active academic research. Advocating a hundred schools of thought is conducive to the progress of the nursing discipline. The same topic can also choose different topics from different angles and different sides. For example, "Shanxi Nursing Magazine" opened the "Special Pen Talk: Systematic Holistic Nursing" in the 5th and 6th issues of 1997. The authors hold different arguments, or express their opinions from management, teaching, or from different clinical perspectives. This is something that the nursing academic community should strongly advocate.

3. How can I choose a topic?

A good question is a theory that can be discussed with a price, that is, a topic that is of interest to the reader and can be clearly stated in an article, plus a correct, novel, and well-founded view. This is the goal of the topic. The motivation for the topic selection activity is to find the problem, because the problem can be found in the discovery of the problem; if the problem is discovered, it can be discussed. The problem is the source of the topic. There are many people who are confused and unselectable. In fact, they lack observation and lack of discovery. Lu Xun said: "If you don't read it, you can observe it, observe it, observe it, study it, and study it. If you are the most ordinary thing, you can create its vitality." This is very instructive for the selection topic. The topic should be a negotiable question. It can be said that the scope of the topic should be moderate, and the topic is too large. It is difficult to use a paper to make it clear and difficult to write. Because the title is large and involves a wide range, the reason is inevitably abstract, and it may be true, but the reader will feel far away. For example, the article "Rehabilitation nursing for fracture patients" is divided into three levels: fracture rehabilitation must be an overall rehabilitation; clinical rehabilitation is first of all basic care; rehabilitation must be conducted under guidance. It is not easy to separately discuss these three issues. Because the topic is too large, it is difficult for the author to grasp the angle of entry. The topic should not be too small, the obvious problem, the reason is very simple, it is difficult to open the discussion, the paper is strong, and there is a small problem. The topic of discussion can also consider the guiding factors of the topic, that is, the topic should not go beyond the scope of subject research. For example, in the journal of nursing professional, it is not a problem to study the nursing subject, which will mislead the reader, which is not conducive to the healthy development of the subject. If some authors will post articles on the production, pharmacology, and therapeutic effects of a drug to nursing journals, such articles are not suitable for journals in nursing journals because the nursing profession is more important than drug observation and efficacy. The principle of "can be discussed" is to propose a nursing discipline to solve the problem, to determine the topic with the purpose of the nursing discipline, beyond the content of the scope of the subject research, and to discuss it well, it is difficult to resonate with peers.
