1、 由于文化的差异和英语语言本身的特点,英语科技论文写作虽然在目的性上与用其它语言形式的科技论文写作是相同的,但是还有其自己的语言特征、文体要求和格式变化。科技论文体例科技论文体例因学科不同、研究项目、过程和结果不同,科技论文可以有多种写作方法和体例结构。从20世纪20年代开始,科技工作者从大量的论文中,总结出了其表达方式的共同规律,逐步形成了一种较为严密而又符合逻辑的惯用格式;从此,虽然各种论文所涉及的内容各不相同,论证的方法各有差异,实验的方法与手段相差很大,但是论文由哪些部分组成已有规范可循;其常见的构成格式有:标题、署名、作者单位(通常在第一页底端的黑线下还要简要介绍作者的姓名、年龄、职
2、称、学位等内容)、摘要、关键词、引言、正文,结论、致谢、脚注、参考文献和附录等。标题标题标题的作用标题的作用:1.让读者了解论文的研究领域,本文区别于其他研究的特征;2.协助检索一个令人满意的标题,既不要过于概括,以至流于空泛,一般化;也不宜过于繁琐,使人得不出鲜明印象,难于记忆和引证。u标题要避免使用笼统、空泛、冗长、模棱两可、夸张、标题要避免使用笼统、空泛、冗长、模棱两可、夸张、华而不实以及与同类论文题目雷同的字眼。华而不实以及与同类论文题目雷同的字眼。标题标题_书写格式书写格式(1)1.开头第一个字母大写,专有名词大写,其余全部小写。uOverview of Fischer-Tropsc
