The academic papers submitted by degree applicants in order to apply for a degree are called dissertations. This thesis is an important condition for assessing whether an applicant can be awarded a degree.
Applicants for degree degrees will be awarded a degree if they pass the prescribed course examination and pass the examination and defense of the dissertation. If the applicant for the degree passed the course exam, but was disqualified during the defense, he would not be awarded a degree.
The graduation thesis that is eligible for a degree and is written for a degree is called a dissertation, a bachelor's degree thesis. A bachelor's thesis is both a dissertation and a graduation thesis.

The National Standards of the People's Republic of China VDC 001.81 and GB 7713-87 define academic papers as:
An academic paper is the knowledge and scientific record of an academic topic that has new scientific research results or innovative insights experimentally, theoretically, or observationally; or a scientific summary of some known principles applied in practice to make new progress Used to provide readings, exchanges, or discussions at academic conferences; or to publish in academic journals; or written documents for other purposes.
In the field of social sciences, people usually call papers expressing scientific research results as academic papers.
Academic papers have four characteristics: academic scientific creative theoretical

I. Academicity

1. The process of publishing a manuscript submission-review-notice of use-handling related costs-publication-post sample. General authors first understand the journal, select the journal, find the submission method, some journals require submission in writing. Most are in the form of electronic manuscripts.
   2. Review time for published articles Generally, the review time for ordinary journals (provincial and national) is one week, and for high-quality journals, the review time is 14-20 days.
   The review period for core journals is generally 4 months, and it must go through three procedures: initial review, review, and final review.
   3. Issues in the level of journals Countries do not classify journals. However, various units generally classify journals into provincial and national journals according to the level of the competent unit of the journal. Provincial periodicals are in charge of provincial units. The national periodical competent unit is the national department or directly affiliated department.

2. Publishing role

   A dissertation is an article that describes the results of academic research after conducting research in various academic fields. It is not only a means to explore the academic issues of research, but also a tool to communicate the results of academic research. The role of different people in publishing papers is also different: 1. Evaluation titles (promotional titles): graduate graduation needs; teachers, medical staff, personnel of scientific research institutes, corporate employees, etc. are promoted to the next level of professional titles. An essential reference indicator. 2. Application for Funds and Projects: When the National Natural Science Foundation projects, other various fund projects, and various research topics are applied for each year by the education, science and technology, and health systems, publishing a dissertation is the conclusion of a research result completed as a fund or project. Show. 3. Research in basic fields around the world, such as basic research carried out in the fields of medicine, mathematics, physics, chemistry, life sciences, etc. Publicly published papers are a display and report of the latest scientific and technological research results and research methods. To promote the scientific and technological progress of the entire society.

3. The role of dissertation The so-called education research dissertation writing is to deepen the understanding process of analysis and demonstration on the basis of investigations or experiments, and to write the research results into a dissertation or report.
   Writing educational research papers is an important part of educational research activities in primary and secondary schools. Its role is to:
   Show the level and value of research Improve the research level of researchers;
   Writing scientific research papers is not only a reflection of scientific research results, but also a problem of deepening scientific research results and development of scientific research results. In the process of writing scientific research papers, a large number of materials obtained in the experimental research process are de-roughened and refined to realize the transition from perceptual knowledge to rationality. The leap and sublimation of cognition deepens research activities and deepens people's understanding.
   (3) Promoting experiences and exchanging education and scientific research processes is the process by which people gain direct experience. This direct experience gained through careful design and careful exploration is not only very valuable to the direct participants, but also to all educators, and to the improvement and development of the overall human understanding. As Engels pointed out: "Modern natural science has expanded the proposition that all thought content originates from experience, to the complete overthrow of its old metaphysical limits and formulas. As it acknowledges acquired heredity, it The subject of experience has expanded from the individual to the class, and each individual must experience it himself, which is no longer necessary; its individual experience can be replaced to some extent by the results of the experience of its ancestors. " ("Selected Works of Marx and Engels", Vol. 3, p. 564) It can be seen that in order to exchange and understand people in different spaces and at different times, and to accept the results of understanding, it is necessary to do a good job in writing theses.
   Promoting the continuous improvement of educational and scientific research activities Educational and scientific research activities are activities that explore unknown areas. There are no established models and approaches to follow. In a certain sense, educational and scientific research activities are all creative activities. In order to ensure that educational and scientific research activities become more and more effective and to provide a reliable basis for further educational and scientific research activities, it is necessary to write a report or a dissertation at the end of each scientific research activity.

The State of Science and Technology Information Research Institute's China Excellent Science and Technology Paper Output Status Report released on November 19, 2019 shows that China's outstanding scientific and technological papers totaled 315,900 in 2018, an increase of 12.4% over 2017, including 144,500 outstanding international scientific and technological papers. 171,500 outstanding domestic scientific and technological papers. ^[1]
