After you finish writing the main body of your graduation thesis, you may want to write a thank you. Thanks don't represent your work, but they are an integral part of the paper. As a reviewer of a paper, or someone who wants to know you or your work, when he gets your paper, which part will he choose to read first? Thanks can be an important chapter at this time. No one seems to pay attention to thanks, but the importance of thanks is self-evident. In particular, not only domestic researchers but also foreign researchers attach importance to the thesis thanks of master's and doctoral students. If you are serious, the importance of thanks will even affect your future. It's not that complicated, but it's not that simple. There's a lot of "saying" in it. Just like the article or paper you're going to write, it's also a regular "eight part" to follow. According to personal style and feelings, the experience and process of learning in school, thanks will vary, some in a few words, some in a thousand words. Some foreign websites also specially elaborate on the topic of thanks, which naturally also includes questions such as "who, where, what to do and why.". The following is the content sorted out according to some reference materials, and some personal thoughts and ideas are mixed in.

The purpose of thanks.

It's like when someone helps us when we need it, we open our mouth and say "thank you.". In a school or scientific research department, when you have finished your thesis for two or three years or even longer, you have not only learned some knowledge, but also learned some professional skills and skills, as well as the process and method of thinking, creation and how to work. This may still be the work you need to rely on in the future. Do you want to thank those who have supported, helped, helped, and helped you Have you ever been a supporter? Of course, there are some departments and organizations. Thanks are not used to measure your work, but for those who read your paper, it is a process in which people have a preliminary understanding of you, either positive or negative.

To whom?

Thanks are given in order of importance. For master's or doctoral dissertations, there are two types of recipients: professional and non professional, or professional and individual. Naturally, it is the first and most important thing to thank the professionals, the people who have directly helped and guided you, or the team. This is the base point and cradle of your growth. In your work, you have given you important help, but in the process of giving thanks, you intentionally or unintentionally neglect them and do not give thanks to them, which is undoubtedly a denial of what they have paid for you. In short, this is not only unfair, but also involves moral issues. Seriously speaking, in a way, it will affect and even endanger your future cooperation, work and future. Professional acknowledgements include but are not limited to these people or groups: fund and fund sponsors, other professors, research teams and laboratory assistants, research participants and colleagues, proofreaders of articles, etc. In the process of experiment and work, the episode with a researcher, etc., are all specific examples and contents of some thanks, if you are willing to write one sentence or two. Then comes the thanks of non professionals, including: partners, important family members and friends, people who have encouraged and influenced you in the academic career, and even other people who have supported you. Some universities have a special "policy of thanks". For example, only those tutors and professors who have supported and directed can appear in the list of thanks.

In one case, we now have some nominal tutors, and the actual tutors are others. Some students think that their tutor has not done any instructive work in the actual work. Do you want to thank him? There is no doubt that it has to be written.

How to write thanks in a paper?

Different from the more rigid expression in the paper, the part of thanks still has more subjectivity and randomness to express emotions, such as the use of the first person, emotional discourse. Most of the time, although you have a lot of freedom to express your creativity, it is still recommended to be professional and formal as much as possible. This is because the reviewer of your work and paper will first read the content of this department and set the tone for your work and paper. In fact, it depends on whether you are sincere, serious, serious or boastful and so on. Therefore, this aspect is the component of impression. To be ,or not to be , that’s the question。 Therefore, in terms of the structural arrangement of thanks, we should be serious at first, and then there will be some discussions between eastern and Western parents. The names and surnames of tutors and professors should be written in full name and professional title, which is clear and rigorous, and can be known by peers in the field, and also can ensure the credibility of your work. As the saying goes, a teacher is famous.

How long should the thanks be written?

Although there is no word limit, it is generally limited to one page. Of course, there are three pages in length. It's better to be within one page. Too long acknowledgment will make people have a sense of exaggeration and insecurity, and dilute the work and role of the most important person who has been acknowledged. The shortest thanks I've ever seen is just one line.

Where should I put my thanks?

Different schools have different regulations. Of course, in most cases, thanks should be placed after the abstract and before the main contents. Many of them are at the end of the paper. It depends on the school rules.

How to start a thank you and an example?

Some useful sentences can be used as opening remarks and corresponding descriptions of thanks. I am very grateful to... And would like to offer my most sincere thanks to; In the course of my research, they have given me endless help... They have given me insightful guidance and advice... They have always supported and trusted me.

Here's a brief thank you for your doctoral dissertation. Although it's a bit of a clich é, you can still draw some useful ingredients from it.

"First of all, I would like to pay high tribute to my tutor Professor XXX and Dr. XXX for their extremely important advice, endless support and patient discussion during my doctoral study. Their profound knowledge and rich experience have always inspired my academic research and even my daily life. I would also like to thank Dr. XXX for his support in experimental methods and simulation calculation. His continuous improvement in technology and enthusiastic help have benefited me a lot. I would also like to thank all the members of the group for their sincere support and help, which enabled me to complete my studies in the University and spend an unforgettable time, making my career and spiritual life more colorful. Finally, I would like to thank my parents, wife and children. Without their great understanding and encouragement in the past few years, I will not be able to complete my studies. "

To sum up. Inevitably, sometimes, writing is carried out with an emotion. It depends on the individual's situation, whether he is comfortable in this environment or not. Of course, some people are more reserved, some introverted, some exaggerated, some real, some muddle along. Writing depends on personal feelings, time limit and style. A thousand words and a thousand words. Thanks come in various forms. Well written is icing on the cake. It is also a good summary of personal work and learning process. A graduate student wrote an impromptu poem at the end of his graduation thesis, which shows his expectation of the past and the future. Of course, the writing of thanks is a process of carrying on the past and opening up the future. Thanks record a person's work, study and life place, record the people and things he has contacted, seen and experienced, and also record the ups and downs in the process of personal growth. People and the environment, like the sun, land, water and seed seedlings are able to breed fruitful.
