1, argument (viewpoint): The viewpoint should be clear and definite?

2. Argument (evidence to prove the viewpoint): The evidence should be accurate and realistic. Choose typical historical facts that can prove the argument.

3. Demonstration (the process of proving opinions with evidence):

A: The logic of the argumentation process should be clear and rigorous, stand scrutiny, and achieve a seamless connection between evidence and opinions.

B: The argumentation process should have a "historical flavor". It should be based on subject language and based on history. Avoid vague vernacular, or simply list historical facts. ?

C: It's written, not in the form of an article, like a question and answer.

D: language refinement. There is a word limit for general history papers. It is necessary to grasp the key information in the material, and make a draft or draft before writing on the basis of fully understanding the intention of the material and proposition, so as to ensure that the language is refined and to the point. ?

Second, the writing skills of historical papers.

(1) Introduction (research object and purpose)

Use this section to set the background of the research and questions. Some readers may not understand the significance of your research quickly, so you should use common language and clear organization to guide readers to the main problems/research purposes.

Writing guide:

1, explaining the basic principle of the research;

2. Explain how this research has made an important contribution or enhanced knowledge in this field;

3. Clearly describe the research problem;

4. Elaborate the thesis framework on which the research is based;

5. Provide the background of the problem you are trying to explore and solve, and you should cite other studies to support your argument;

6. Summarize the knowledge status of related topics, and quote relevant research as needed;

7. Don't review all published studies on related topics.

(2) Research methods (the work you have done)

This part is the backbone of the research. The main criterion of perfect research is that it must be repeatable. In other words, other researchers can get the same result again according to the method detailed in your paper.

Writing guide:

1, providing complete and detailed information about all methods, technologies and instruments;

2. Use questionnaires, surveys or other data collection methods;

3, provide or quote research that can support the effectiveness and reliability of analytical methods and means;

4. Introduce the analysis methods and the reasons for choosing these methods;

5. Important details cannot be omitted to avoid lengthy description of the method.

(3) Research results (your findings)

This section should provide all the details of the research data and results. Highlight the most important research results first, and then transfer the secondary results. Readers should be able to understand your research results quickly when reading this part.

Writing guide:

1, make full use of charts to show your research results intuitively and clearly;

2. Provide actual data, not just generalities;

3. Elaborate the main research results of this paper;

4. Highlight unconventional or surprising research results in the article;

5. Explain the research results instead of simply introducing statistical data;

Discussion (meaning of research results)

A good discussion part can extend the specific results to more general conclusions, which match the background introduced in the introduction, so as to maximize the influence of the whole paper. Therefore, we should keep in mind the "mutual echo" between the discussion part and the introduction part.

Writing guide:

1, indicating at the beginning whether your hypothesis is supported;

2. Explain the research results: What is the significance of the research results?

3. Link the research results with the previous research results, such as: whether your research results support or violate the previous research results;

4. Explain how your research can enhance the original knowledge;

5. All other possible explanations of the research results must be introduced;

6. Introduce the limitations of the research;

7. Can't simply repeat the research results;

8. A conclusion without data support cannot be deduced.

(5) Conclusion (your research gains)

In this part, readers should already know your work and research results when reading this part. Readers should be able to understand how and why you came to a conclusion.

Writing guide:

1, introduce the enlightenment you got from the research;

2. Ensure that the conclusion is directly related to the research question and the described research question;

3. The general significance of the research is introduced in detail;

4. Elaborate the specific future prospect of the research, so as to enhance the knowledge gained from the research or answer the unresolved questions;

5. Don't exaggerate the research or "generalize", that is, extend the research results to suggestions or conclusions that the research actually doesn't support;

6, can't simply summarize the research results.

The above is the whole content of How to Write a Historical Paper. I hope I can answer your question.
