11、, 科技论文的撰写应使用第三人称、过去时和被动语态。但调查表明, 科技论文中被动语态的使用在1920-1970 年曾比较流行, 但由于主动语态的表达更为准确, 且更易阅读, 因而目前大多数期刊都提倡使用主动态。国际知名科技期刊“Nature”, “Cell”等尤其如此, 其中第一人称和主动语态的使用十分普遍。 为了解专业期刊对写作风格的规定, 有人随机抽查了500 份医学和生物学英文期刊的“读者须知”。统计表明, 82%的期刊没有文风方面的规定。 可见, 为简洁、清楚地表达研究成果, 在论文摘要的撰写中不应刻意回避第一人称和主动语态。,科技论文撰写格式,Common used sentence

19、要求具体要求如下：1. 文摘要尽量简短。取消不必要的字句：如 ”It is reported ” “Extensive investigations show that” “The author discusses ” “This paper concerned with ” ；文摘开头的 ”In this paper,”一些不必要的修饰词，如“in detail”、“briefly”、 “here”、 “new”、 “mainly”也尽量不要。对物理单位及一些通用词可以适当进行简化；取消或减少背景信息文摘第一句应避免与题目（Title）重复,限制文摘只表示新情况，新内容，过去的研究细节可以取
20、消；不说无用的话，如“本文所谈的有关研究工作是对过去老工艺的一个极大的改进”，“本工作首次实现了.”，“经检索尚未发现与本文类似的文献”等词句切不可进入文摘；作者在文献中谈及的未来计划不纳入文摘；2. 文摘应包含正文的要点，将文章的主要内容写 清楚，重点内容不能漏掉，比如试验研究的方 法、设备、材料等，一定要给出结论。3. 文摘应有自我的独立性(EI是二次文献的数据库， 只有摘要，没有原文，所以摘要很重要)。,EI文摘要求,4. 不需要自己标榜自己的研究成果。5. 文摘中不能出现图、表数据。6. 语句简洁，专业词汇准确。文体方面的要求：1. 用过去时态叙述作者工作，用现在时态叙述作者结论 2.
21、 能用名词做定语不要用动名词做定语，能用形容 词做定语就不要用名词做定语如:用measurement accuracy 不用 measuring accuracy 用experimental results 不用experiment results,EI文摘要求,可直接用名词或名词短语作定语的情况下，要少用of 句型。如:用measurement accuracy 不用accuracy of measurement 用equipment structure不用 structure of equipment可用动词的情况尽量避免用动词的名词形式如:用 Thickness of plastic s
22、heets was measured. 不用 Measurement of thickness of plastic sheet was made. 3. 注意冠词用法，不要误用，滥用或随便省略冠词4. 尽量用主动语态代替被动语态5. 尽量用简短、词义清楚并为人熟知的词 6. 慎用行话和俗语,EI文摘要求,EI文摘要求,7. 删繁从简； 如用 increased 代替 has been found to increase 用the results show 代替 from the experimental results, it can be concluded that8. 在文摘中尽量少用
23、特殊字符(各种数学符号、上下 脚标及希腊字母)及由特殊字符组成的数学表达 式。因为它们的输入极为麻烦，而且极易出错，影 响文摘本身的准确性和可读性 9. 对那些已经为大众所熟悉的缩写词，如radar、 laser、CAD等，可以直接使用。对于那些仅为同行 所熟悉的缩略语，应在题目、文摘或键词中至少出 现一次全称。,4、Keywords 文章中写明关键词，便于科技索引工作者编关键词索引(Keyword Index)，也便于读者从不同的来源中发现你的文章，前三个关键词一般安排如下：1）本文的学科分类；2）主题思想；3）实验或理论方法。 关键词一般35个。,科技论文撰写格式,5、Introducti
