研究寫作與期刊投稿 陸偉明 成大教育所特聘教授
科學研究 • 1. 思考:閱讀、寫作、停頓 • 2.行動:資料蒐集與分析、實驗進行、 討論活動 • 兩者交互進行 • Writing as thinking: You should constantly think about writing your paper at every stage of your research activities. (自問自答,釐清方向)
Productivity Is Improving 42% 52% 45% 55% 44% 58% 46% 42% 44% 49% 44% 53% 58% 48% 55% 45% 56% 42% 54% 58% 56% 51% 56% 47% 2001 2005 Sales/Mktg 2001 2005 Fin/HR/Legal 2001 2005 Sci/Eng 2001 2005 Mfg/Purch 2001 2005 Total 2001 2005 IT Scientists can now spend more time analyzing information than gathering it Scientists now read 25%+ more articles per year Time SpentGathering Scientists now read from almost twice as many journals Time Spent Analyzing Source: Outsell’s Buyer Market Database; and Dr Carol Tenopir, University of Tennessee | 3

閱讀 • 善用資料庫,有效率尋找文獻 (top-down, bottom up approach) • eFunction: 訂閱Alert • The rise of specialized and interdisciplinary fields of study • Emerging global network of scientific research, dissemination
要形成一個良性循環 • 沒有寫出來都不算:我手寫我口? • 沒有印出來都不算 PUBLISH OR PERISH—在研究結果為人所之以前,科學研究都不算完成。 • 沒有經過審查(學術社群的對話與批判)都不算。寫書也要送審。 • =>養成好的寫作習慣:研究日誌,空間,與時間
空間(Messy table messy mind. / Empty table empty mind.) • 掌握最新期刊論文研究成果 • 文獻、研究手稿log、論文檔、與投稿信件分檔案夾分門別類放置(相關資料也可以copy兩次以免找不到) • 專心致志:知止而後能定, 定而後能靜, 靜而後能安, 安而後能慮, 慮而後能得【大學】
Excerpt from Charles Darwin’s The Voyage of the Beagle Thinking path • During some part of the day I wrote my journal, and took much pains in describing carefully and vividly all that I had seen; and was good practice. My journal served also, in part, as letters to my home, and portions were sent to England whenever there was an opportunity. • The above various special studies were, however, of no importance compared with the habit of energetic industry and of concentrated attention to what ever I was engaged in, which I then acquired. Everything about which I thought or read was made to bear directly on what I had seen or was likely to see; and this habit of mind was continued during the five years of the voyage. I feel sure that it was this training which has enabled me to do what ever I have done in science. • Looking backwards, I can now perceive how my love for science gradually preponderated over every other taste.
時間(CEO of me) • 完成工作的方法,就是珍惜每一分鐘(達爾文) • 有原則:找出做最想做、最擅長的事(high priority) • 「有哪些事,會對你個人產生重大影響,而卻拖延沒有做?」(draw lines) • 有毅力:與其說在管理時間、不如說是管理使用時間的自己!(manage my life) (track your habit) • 不積跬步,無以至千里;不積小流,無以成江海。(荀子勸學篇) • 每天想,每天寫,日積月累與淬鍊
寫!寫!寫! • The discipline of writing on a continuous and regular basis • Establish good writing habits regardless of mood • Have a warm-up period or read some good writing or your log • 新進學者以兩年一篇的速度累積經驗變成一年一篇……
Suggestions for ending writer’s block • Begin early • Take a break, then return • Begin in the middle • Engage in personal magic rituals • Break it into small parts • Do not expect perfection. (W. L. Neuman, 2006. Social Research Methods, p. 495)
科學八股寫作 • 1. Tell a good story: have a strong story line (Keep readers in your mind) • 2. Develop an outline and logic (order of paragraphs) • 3. Short is better. Stick to the point. Don’t lose the focus. *Topic sentence and supporting details • 4. Result: facts, not opinion。有顯著差異
5. Take-home message 新發現是什麼? (最多三點) 為什麼這個發現很重要? [討論]最能彰顯本文的貢獻,要言之有據 • 6. Abstract: background, purpose, setting, subjects, research design, data collection and analysis, findings, conclusions [摘要]是讀者的第一眼,要仔細且精簡寫
系統性的研究擇你所愛,愛你所擇 • 前言與文獻探討: 為什麼要做這研究?如何定義和發現研究問題? • 要能對文獻批判:如過去的發現與限制、對本研究的啟示與觸發、會提出什麼蒐集和分析資料的程序、本研究可能會得到什麼結果、有什麼意義與應用等。重點是在給理論基礎並將本研究聚焦,說明為何選擇這個模式或方法等,而不是整理抄錄文獻卻沒有評述,亦切忌依樣畫葫蘆。 • 文獻和研究問題的產生不是直線進行而是往復的過程。 • 研究方法:如何進行研究及用什麼材料,可以回答上述的研究問題?
一些提醒: • Writereditorwritereditor • Word choice and trim “fat” • Have respected colleagues critique and edit. • You can always be better. • Revision is the key to effective writing
Pierre-Auguste Renoir(1984-1919) • The only reward from work is the work itself.
容易觸及或違反學術倫理情形 Fabrication 造假: 虛構不存在資料 Falsification變造: 誇大,隱匿,或變更資料 Plagiarism抄襲:文獻回顧分與研究方法的說明部分, 無適當的註明出處。或以翻譯代替著述。不符比例原則。 4. 自我引用視為理所當然,而未引註。 5. 拿已完成的研究成果做為申請案,或與指導學生之論文 區隔不清。 6. 一案兩投,有不當牟利之嫌疑。 若同一案件所需經費龐大,需靠不同機構的經費補助,則應在計畫中說明申請經費補助的分配狀況。

Accept rejection as part of review process. Don’t take it personally. • 在開始的過程中,都有一個門檻值的障礙、或是摩擦阻力。 • 不好的開始,不代表一定會失敗;好的開始,也不一定會成功。 • 瓶頸,通常不是外在的環境,而是自己的心境。 • Enumerate revisions and use colored text • 經驗會帶動進步 • 寄一份reprint
