学术论文的摘要该怎么写才能吸引眼球

| Comments

大多数科研人员认为简短、精练、简单是在撰写学术论文摘要时要遵循的几个要素,但芝加哥大学(University of Chicago)的研究人员在研究了100万篇学术论文摘要之后发现:长篇幅、辞藻华丽、大量运用专业术语的摘要反而会使论文的引用率更高。

相关研究结果发表在PLoS Computational Biology上,研究表明,常见的写作规则并不适用于科技论文的撰写,这一现象也可能反映了在线搜索对当今科学领域的发展所造成的多方面影响。

该研究的作者之一、芝加哥大学进化生态学教授兼计算研究所研究员Stefano Allesina说道:“有趣的是,我们发现科研人员所引用的内容实际上并不是读者真正想要了解的。这一现象带来的启发是,我们不应该相信那些我们认为理所当然的写作技巧。”

IEEE S&P 2015会议论文预读

作者及原文:微月信-IEEE S&P 2015会议论文预读

IEEE S&P是Rank A的国际信息安全顶级会议,又称Oakland会议,尽管今年(2015)的会议召开还在五月份,不过官网已经给出了会议程序列表,将进行三天,每天4个Session,每个Session都会将相似方向的最新安全研究成果进行展示。关注顶会的论文和Session方向对安全研究人员是非常必要的。在程序列表中,出现了三篇国内相关的文章,一篇一作来自中科院的Le Guan(本科室友,在国内读博期间分别发了两篇顶会了,很不错的成果,恭喜,另一篇在NDSS 2014上);另一篇一作来自浙江大学的Boyuan He,看了下他们实验室主页,果然也是有真正学术大牛在引导;最后一篇非一作,来自上海交大。

下面分别列出各个Session的论文,对于感兴趣的部分会简单的介绍一下。由于Session太多,将分三个博文分别进行介绍。由于会议主要论文将分三天报告完,因此每篇博文将介绍一天的论文。这篇先介绍第一天的论文,四个Session,共20篇文章。

如何在国际学术期刊上发表论文

| Comments

[摘要]将论文都投在一流期刊上是风险很大的;将论文都寄到低质量的期刊也不是好的选择,一但论文被接受,你就会感到后悔。一个人的简历中应包括一些一流期刊的论文。发表的质量也是很重要的。

1.目的

决定一片论文是否可以发表的最重要因素是论文中所阐述思想的好坏。实际中,非实质性的因素,如论文的包装,也会成为论文是否发表的影响因素。

发表SCI或EI类英文文章的一些投稿经验

| Comments

  1. 首先一定要注意杂志的发表范围, 超出范围的千万别投,要不就是浪费时间;另外,每个杂志都有他们的具体格式要求,一定要按照他们的要求把论文写好,免得浪费时间,前些时候,我的一个同事向一个著名的英文杂志投稿,由于格式问题,人家过两个星期就退回来了,而且说了很多难听的话,说投稿前首先就应该看清楚他们的格式要求;

  2. 论文写作一定要言简意赅,特别是摘要,引言和结论部分,特别是摘要和结论不能重复,发现有很多论文这两部分没有差别, 个人认为, 摘要是引人入胜的”药引子”,要留悬念;而结论是你论文得出的有证据的东西,要简单明了(很多人写了一大堆,把推测的结果都写上,这种论文质量很差); 另外,很多人认为数据越多, 发表的可能性越大,但经过读一些论文, 发现很多人的论文很烂, 感觉就是数据的简单堆积,所以,论文的重点应该在观点上,保证一篇论文一个新观点,已经足够了.

  3. 投稿时,一定要找和你做研究内容相近领域的专家作评阅人,最好是国外的,不是说国内的不好,但就怕有人和你(或你老板)有过节,而且国内的很多所谓专家水平一般,且小心眼;

如何选择和阅读研究文献

| Comments

我们很多的时候,闷在实验室闭门造车,实在不如稍抽出一点时间看看文献,看看别人是否有同样的困惑。我们的大老板说,要想有成绩别无他法只有读,读,大量的读文献,尤其国外的。

阅读文献的来源

A精研数据库,对于文献数据库和专业数据库应该深入研究。重要的如ISI,Medline,Ncbi等了。因人而异添加数据库到你的收藏夹。

B做一个课题首先是要看专利的!!这是我的经验之谈。通过研读专利正文,可以体会申请人的研发思路;研读专利权要求,可以少走弯路,还可以找出未覆盖的漏洞,进一步提出自己的专利;有的专利还有参考文献,可以了解这个专利的来龙去脉。

C了解与自己研究方向有关的机构,密切关注在该研究领域和方向的顶尖group所发表的论文并认真研读。对于本研究领域的国际领袖人物和实验室,应该多花一点时间去研究他们的主页。

D可以在google上免费订购你所感兴趣的alert,他24小时更新,会不间断的向你信箱发送网上出现该话题的文章。

E经常上网看看最新的资讯说不准会激发你一时的灵感。

Writing Tips for Academics

| Comments

Little did I know that a Ph.D. in computer science would teach me more about how to write than any other previous experience I’d had. Indeed, research isn’t only about making new discoveries, but also about expressing those discoveries so that other people can appreciate them and their significance.

Below, I’ll present some thoughts on writing that I’ve picked up over the years and continually aim (and encourage students) to put into practice. I’ll focus on story-telling, presentation, and efficiency: how to write your paper so that it clearly, cleanly, and efficiently tells a good story.

What this post is not about. At least in this post, I won’t write about grammar—there is too much English grammar to cover in a single post, and there are plenty of good courses one can take to learn grammar. I also won’t talk about style (common phrases) or usage (e.g., commonly misused words). For now, my only advice on the topic of learning English grammar and style—both for native speakers and foreigners—is to read daily. Reading the New York Times, or The Economist are great places to start: the writing is generally of high quality, and you’ll also have something interesting to talk about outside of the lab. I have the impression that foreign students can tend towards reading their local news from home; that’s understandable, but I would encourage those students to also read periodicals and publications that are written in the style of English that people are used to reading in the Western world (indeed, English in different parts of the world has different tones, styles, idioms, and turns of phrase).

Writing a Technical Paper

This document describes several simple, concrete ways to improve your writing, by avoiding some common mistakes. The end of this document contains more resources for improving your writing.

Some people believe that writing papers, giving talks, and similar “marketing” activities are not part of research, but an adjunct to it or even an undesirable distraction. This view is inaccurate. The purpose of research is to increase the store of human knowledge, and so even the very best work is useless if you cannot effectively communicate it to the rest of the world. Additionally, writing papers and giving talks will clarify your thinking and thereby improve your research. You may be surprised how difficult it is to clearly communicate your ideas and contributions; doing so will force you to understand them more deeply and enable you to improve them.

科研心得

这些年自己在科研工作中有过困惑和领悟,因此我想利用这个blog把它们写下来。这些问题其实没有标准答案、对错等等,仅仅是一些想法。

我最近参加conference的时候,知道有些同行和学生看过我的这些posts。如果你有什么有趣的问题、评论等,欢迎利用这个blog交流。

Q: 我导师让我看的东西没有什么理论。我喜欢有beauty的事情。我觉得研究也应该有beauty,可是我每天看见的都是杂乱无章的东西,实在没意思。怎么办?

A: 我也喜欢有beauty的东西,包括研究。可是我真正喜欢做的恰恰是把今天看来ugly的东西变成beautiful的东西。这是我认为的scientific contribution. 如果你每天摆弄的已经是beautiful的东西,能有什么contribution呢?比如,LR文法很漂亮地解决了programming language的parsing,还有多少有眼光的学者愿意再研究此问题呢?
