如何撰写论文摘要？ 摘要无疑是论文中最关键的部分。如一篇摘要无法在开头的三百字内 让人留下深刻印象的话，获得发表的机率可能会大大的降低。 在本期写作电子报中，艾思特科学编修将提供一摘要例子， 与各位读者一同探讨如何撰写摘要， 以下为摘要之基本结构，摘要应包含以下五个部分： ‧研究动机 为何要研究此题目？ ‧研究问题 研究的主题为何？ ‧研究方法 使用什麽研究方法？ ‧研究成果 发现了什麽结果？ ‧讨论 意涵与应用 现在，就让我们来看一个摘要的例子， 虽然此摘要里的术语看来像是典型的学术论文上会出现的字眼， 但题目本身应适用於所有领域的读者。 我们挑选了一个每个人都相当熟悉的题目，那就是 「如何挑选一部适合与老婆/女朋友观看的电影?」 (相信多数人都曾有类似的问题与经验)， 虽然本摘要里使用了许多统计上的专有名词，但内容本身应相当浅显易懂， 盼各位读者能藉由此诙谐的摘要了解摘要各区块应包含之内容，enjoy it! The Role of Movie Selection in Domestic Disputes 选择电影在家庭纠纷中扮演的角色 研究动机 In recent weeks, considerable effort has been dedicated to the advancement of my career. Long hoursand and tight deadlines have left me exhausted both physically and mentally. In addition, my spouse has begun complaining that we seldom spend time together and almost never go out. 译文：近几个星期以来，为了升迁等事务，我付出相当多的精力， 长时间的工作与 迫在眉睫的工作日程让我心力交瘁和疲於奔命。 而我的配偶近日来也不停地抱怨 相处时间锐减及我们已经鲜少一同外出。 研究问题 It was decided that an evening spent in a movie theatre would help to overcome the exhaustion and malaise we were suffering. Unfortunately, the selection of a movie proved problematic, due to the difficulties associated with satisfying both partners. 译文：经协商後，我们决定选定一个晚上去电影院看一部好的电影，以期能纾解近日来的 压力与不快。 很不幸的是，挑选适合两个人观看的电影这项任务被证实是 相当艰钜的。 研究方法 Researchers conducted a thorough examination of the relevant literature to compile a list of candidate entertainment. Entries were categorized according to genre and a panel of movie critics was consulted as to the relative merits of each film. A survey was then conducted in which each interested party was requested to list their movie preferences using a 5-point Lickert scale, ranging from 1 = “Have been dying to see this” to 5 = “Would rather eat ground glass”. To verify the reliability and validity of the scale, confirmatory factor analysis was employed for parameter estimation. 译文：本研究针对一系列相关电影文献进行蒐集与分析，最後得出最有可能的电影清单。 并更进一步依电影类型来分类及谘询影评人对於每部电影之评价。本研究采取 李克特五点量表，请受测者依其偏好替每部电影评分，评比等级分为： 五分为「我迫不及待想看这部电影」至一分「再怎麽样我都不愿意看这部电影」 此区间。为了验证量表之效度与信度，我们藉由验证型因素分析来估计参数。 研究成果 The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to evaluate the probability of my surviving the evening, after adjusting for confounding factors, including a refusal on the part my better half to view any movie in the genre of “Action” and the enduring popularity of the parameter “George Clooney”. 译文：在参考干扰因子并做出调整後，本研究应用Cox比例风险回归模型来 评估我可以活过今晚的可能性。干扰因子包含我的配偶对於 任何动作类电影的排斥以及参数「乔治克隆尼」之历久不衰性。 讨论 In summary, this study discovered that personal preferences related to movie choice are far outweighed by the need to maintain domestic harmony. 译文：本研究发现维持家庭和平之必要性远超过於个人对电影之偏好。 主观 vs. 客观 以上摘要显然太着重於第一人称，如您在撰写摘要时，应尽量地保持客观， 勿提及自身个人， 以下精简浓缩过後的摘要，则以客观的口吻来叙述， 包含动机与问题、方法及成果与讨论： ‧研究动机与研究问题 Long hours and tight deadlines render many researchers physically and mentally exhausted and spouses are often neglected, leading to domestic instability. Unfortunately, conflict may arise when attempting to resolve these issues through shared entertainment. ‧研究方法 This study conducted a thorough investigation of available celluloid entertainment possibilities as well as a self administered questionnaire, to identify the diversion best suited to overcoming spousal frustration. ‧研究成果与讨论 Our results indicate that genre, stars, and the reputation of directors are subordinate to the desires of the spouse. Action movies were identified as poison to a relationship, and romantic comedies (particularly those featuring George Clooney) were found to be the best alternative among the available choices. 您可按以下连结观看摘要中英对照之PDF档以及投稿信 (cover letter)的范例， 如您欲投稿期刊时，即可使用本投稿信范本再加以修改。 PDF 连结： http://acceptediting.tw/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Newsletter-Volume-3.pdf 摘要通常都是出现在论文的第一页，但当期刊要求附上投稿信时，作者们就必须提供 资讯密度更高的内容，撰写成为投稿信。PDF内的范例展示精简後的摘要如何变身成一封投 稿信。 我们确保投稿信范例中的语气为礼貌及专业的语气，作者们可放心套用。 作者们只需 要把此范例复制到Word里，把「有色字体」部分的文字替换成您的paper之相关资讯即可。 盼您能从此次的摘要中有所裨益， 如您有任何相关的疑问或建议，可寄信至 service@acceptediting与我们联系， 欢迎所有读者们对於本文提出心得或想法一同讨论! 艾思特科学编修 新竹县竹北市县政十一街75号3楼之C http://acceptediting.com.tw http://acceptediting.tw [email protected] 03-5585146 --
