如何在短时间内写出一篇高质量的学术论文(Ⅰ)?
一、如何确定论文选题(Title)
笔者之前分享了一篇如何确定毕业论文选题的经验,可参考推文《毕业论文选题三步法:是什么?为什么?怎么做?》,小论文的选题和毕业论文的选题有异曲同工之处,但也有一些不同。相同之处是都需要关注选题的前沿性、创新性和价值性。但是小论文的选题研究范围更窄更小,只需要你在毕业论文的章节中拆出一个问题即可作为研究内容。
论文的选题对一篇论文来说是非常重要的,一个好的论文选题有利于为整篇论文奠定一个好的格局。一般而言,小论文选题可分为两个方向:一是综述类文章的选题,一般是对某一个研究领域或研究方向的来龙去脉、研究现状做系统分析,选题的技巧性不大,在选题之前需要在Web Of Science或者中国知网等网站通过搜索关键词查找综述,如果已有相关综述研究,那么就没有再写同类型综述的必要,除非你有更好的方向点或者方法,一般综述性文章需要使用Citespace信息可视化分析软件,下载安装网址:

二是研究性文章的选题,选题依据通常情况是由以下几个因素确定:
3.当前国内外的研究现状和已取得的成果
选取标题的基本方法:
2.学术文章的标题应该追求真实、准确、浓缩、精简、直观,切不可故弄玄虚,为了复杂而复杂;
3.尽量选择容易理解的标题,句式结构简单;
4.论文的标题一定要包含与研究内容相关的关键词。
标题的句式一般包括陈述句和疑问句,其中陈述句一般只需陈述研究内容、研究方法即可,同时还需注意大标题和小标题的混合运用。值得注意的是,论文标题的疑问句是当前很多论文选择的热点,疑问句更能引起读者的共鸣和兴趣。同时论文标题表达的艺术性也是现在论文发表的一大趋势。
二、论文摘要的几个关键点
(Abstract)
一般而言,论文选题是一篇文章的眼睛,也是审稿人最为关注的一点,而论文摘要是一篇文章的浓缩与精华。论文摘要的撰写也具有一定的章法,主要包括几个核心关键点,笔者以最新发表在“Economic research”上的一篇论文“How will the rise of robots affect China's labor market? -- Evidence from listed manufacturing companies”为例进行庖丁解牛。
关键点一:研究的意义,主要指出本研究或本选题对当下经济、政治、社会、文化或某个研究领域的影响,本研究具有什么样的理论意义和现实价值,1句话即可。在例文中表现为“The rise of artificial intelligence and robotics has broad and profound implications for the economy and society.”
关键点二:研究背景,即所做研究在当下中国或国际社会的研究背景有哪些,已有的研究有哪些,本研究需要解决的或者回答的问题是什么?1句话即可。在例文中表现为“China has become the largest user of robots in the world. How the application of robots will affect China's labor market is an important question that remains to be answered.”
关键点三:研究内容,包括本文主要运用了什么数据或者什么研究方法进行了什么样的研究,研究的主要内容包括哪些等?1句话即可。在例文中表现为“This paper, for the first time, studies the impact of industrial robot application on China's labor market at the enterprise level, using the data of industrial robot application in China and the micro data of listed manufacturing companies, and using the causality identification strategy of ‘Bartik instrumental variables’.”
关键点四:研究结果,一般包括三个方向,一是本研究的总的主要研究结果,比如因变量对自变量的影响结果;二是本研究分研究结果,在总研究结果下的进一步分解;三是进一步的研究结果(部分论文没有),是指本文进行的更深入的研究所得出的结论。3-4句话即可。在例文中表现为“The empirical results show that the application of robots has a certain substitution effect on the labor demand of enterprises. When the penetration degree of industrial robots increases by 1%, the labor demand of enterprises decreases by 0.18%. In addition, the impact of robot application on the demand for labor with different skills is significantly different, showing the characteristics of "employment polarization", while robot application has no obvious impact on the wage level of enterprises. From the perspective of influence mechanism, the substitution effect of robot application on labor demand is more significant in industries with high market concentration, industries with high external financing dependence and non-state-owned enterprises. Further research found that robot application will also have an impact on the labor demand of upstream and downstream enterprises through the industrial chain.”
关键点五:研究对策建议,本部分一般从整体上指出根据研究结果提出的一些政策启示,1句话即可。在例文中表现为“The paper concludes with a discussion of public policy responses in the age of robots and artificial intelligence.”

Abstract:The rise of artificial intelligence and robotics has broad and profound implications for the economy and society.China has become the largest user of robots in the world. How the application of robots will affect China's labor market is an important question that remains to be answered. This paper, for the first time, studies the impact of industrial robot application on China's labor market at the enterprise level, using the data of industrial robot application in China and the micro data of listed manufacturing companies, and using the causality identification strategy of "Bartik instrumental variables".The empirical results show that the application of robots has a certain substitution effect on the labor demand of enterprises. When the penetration degree of industrial robots increases by 1%, the labor demand of enterprises decreases by 0.18%. In addition, the impact of robot application on the demand for labor with different skills is significantly different, showing the characteristics of "employment polarization", while robot application has no obvious impact on the wage level of enterprises. From the perspective of influence mechanism, the substitution effect of robot application on labor demand is more significant in industries with high market concentration, industries with high external financing dependence and non-state-owned enterprises. Further research found that robot application will also have an impact on the labor demand of upstream and downstream enterprises through the industrial chain. The paper concludes with a discussion of public policy responses in the age of robots and artificial intelligence.
三、论文关键词写法(Keywords)
关键词是为了进行文献标引,从论文中提取出来的最为关键的一组主题词,是用来描述文献资料主题,并提供文献检索便利的一组情报语言词汇。论文一般在中英文摘要之后分别列出3-5个中英文的关键词。
选择关键词注意事项:
1.关键词全部摘自标题短词,将标题按意义分拆;
2.关键词不是重要的实词,如“研究”、“探索”、“动力”、“分析”等不宜作为关键词;
3.关键词顺序不当,关键词顺序应当遵照重要性程度从高到低排列。
