论文写作套路

老板说：写论文是有套路的

老板说：introduction写好了，论文就成功了一半

老板说：你的motivation是什么，contribution又是啥？

小夕说：写论文的301天，每日三省吾身

我的motivation是什么？

我的contribution是什么？

在introduction中表述清楚我的motivation和contribution了吗？

所以说：Introduction的重要性不言而喻，作为论文的第一印象，很大程度上决定了审稿人阅读这篇paper时的心情。

话不多说，直接上！干！货！来看看introduction的写作套路叭。

首先开篇表明文章研究的问题是什么，阐明这个问题的重要性。
简述过去的工作，这里可以是比较宽泛的介绍，比如分了什么流派呀，主干方法是什么呀。（话锋一转）虽然过去的工作做的非常好，但是还存在哪些哪些问题，这些都非常的challenge。突出问题的难度。
针对某某问题，我们是怎么做的，为什么要这么做，这么做的好处是什么，进一步阐明motivation。
前面晓之以理，动之以情，现在可以把实验结果狠狠的砸向审稿人啦！清晰的写明论文取得的效果，分点阐述本篇文章的contribution。contribution一般两点到三点就ok，如果有某一点的贡献非常突出，有两点就非常充分啦~~
<end>终于梳理完了文中最重要的部分[]~(￣▽￣)~*

论文写作的葵花宝典

路人甲：小夕小夕，虽然我都清楚自己要写什么了（in mind），但是我的英语{{{(>_<)}}}

不慌不慌！学术英语写作跟中学英语作文还是差别很大的，刚开始写paper很容易写成夕小瑶风格，甚至可能插一个可爱的小姐姐进去╮(￣▽￣"")╭

不用担心！小夕把秘藏已久的论文写作葵花宝典献上～
