英文科研論文寫作簡介1. 引言英文論文寫作的前提是有創(chuàng)新研究成果,創(chuàng)新研究成果的關(guān)鍵是選題?!癆n acceptable primary scientific publication” must be “the first disclosure”. 科研論文寫作常出現(xiàn)的一個誤區(qū)是:以為好論文是“寫”出來的,只要會寫,論文總能被接受發(fā)表。其實,論文被發(fā)表只是結(jié)果,這個結(jié)果是和一系列科研環(huán)節(jié)密切相關(guān)的,論文寫作只是其最后一個環(huán)節(jié)。在選擇科研課題和工作切入點時,就需特別注意,一定要有創(chuàng)新內(nèi)容,科學(xué)研究的靈魂是創(chuàng)新,重復(fù)別人的工作,從科研的角度來說,是沒有意義的。值得注意的是,閱讀有關(guān)英文科技論文,不僅可以了解研究進(jìn)展和動態(tài),而且,可以學(xué)會科技英文表達(dá)。同樣,選題很好,研究工作做得不夠細(xì)致、深入,也難有說服力,難以成為有價值的研究工作。由于本書只介紹英文科研論文的寫作,不講如何做研究,因此只介紹有了好的研究成果后如何寫成合格的科研文章。The goal of scientific research is publication. Scientists, starting as graduate students, are measured primarily not by their dexterity in laboratory manipulations, not by their innate knowledge of either broad or narrow scientific subjects, and certainly not by their wit or charm。 they are measured, and bee known (or remain unknown) by their publications. A scientific experiment, no matter how spectacular the results, is not pleted until the results are published. Thus, the scientists must not only “do” the science but must “write” science. Bad writing can and often does prevent or delay the publication of good science.2. 科研論文的一般格式??蒲姓撐?,不象散文、小說那樣形式可以千姿百態(tài),而具有較為固定的格式。從某種意義上說,科研論文是“八股文”。The IMRAD format. What question (problem) was studied? The answer is the Introduction. How was the problem studied? The answer is the Methods. What were the findings? The answer is the Results. What do these findings mean? The answer is the Discussion. 其通常的組成和每部分的特點見表1。表1 科研論文格式及其特點組成部分名稱(按文章順序)特點或簡要說明題目Title1020 words簡明,不必求全。Brief.

If a recent article has a survey on the subject, cite that article without repeating its individual citations.

Describe the problem in mathematical equations together with relating boundary and initial conditions. Obtain the solution.Let the research can be reproduced.Describe the apparatus and instruments.

I define it as the fewest possible words that adequately describe the context of the paper. 如何寫英文摘要英文摘要是全文的濃縮,一般包括研究目的、研究方法、研究結(jié)果和結(jié)論。摘要是全文的摘要,因此論文從引言(Introduction)、論文展開(Approach),結(jié)果(Results)和討論(Discussion)以及結(jié)論部分的要點在引言中都應(yīng)有反映。摘要部分應(yīng)盡可能簡明,一般不超過300個詞,摘要比論文具有更廣泛的讀者,因此,盡量用通俗和易懂的詞匯(這些詞匯無需通過閱讀全文或查相關(guān)文獻(xiàn)后就可明白),且風(fēng)格、時態(tài)等應(yīng)統(tǒng)一。在英文摘要中,時態(tài)可以是一般現(xiàn)在時,一般過去時和現(xiàn)在完成時,具體用何種時態(tài),應(yīng)根據(jù)表達(dá)的內(nèi)容而定,但一般多用被波動語態(tài)。請看下面的例1-例7。注意,摘要中別忘了寫出論文的主要發(fā)現(xiàn)或結(jié)論。 一般情況下,摘要中不列參考文獻(xiàn),不含圖表。英文摘要內(nèi)容完整,可獨立存在。摘要雖在最前面,但實際上,它往往最后寫。等全文完成后,再根據(jù)全文的內(nèi)容提煉和推敲。當(dāng)然,有些國際會議,開始只需要提交摘要,這時,摘要常常先寫。下面列舉了幾篇國際期刊論文的英文摘要,供讀者參考。同時注意縮寫字的使用。摘要例1[1]Abstract: Interactions between volatile organic pounds (VOCs) and vinyl flooring (VF), a relatively homogenous, diffusioncontrolled building material, were characterized. The sorption/desorption behavior of VF was investigated using singleponent and binary systems of seven mon VOCs ranging in molecular weight from n
