Kenny同志 577 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hello folks, Is there an English equivalent of the term 研究内容 (used as a heading in a research paper)? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flickserve 1,132 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Sticking my neck out here but this seems to be a very non-descriptive type of term on its own for a title of a paper in English. I think it probably is best translated in context of the whole research paper. For instance, is it a review or primary research? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheBigZaboon 184 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Kenny, It might depend on whether the section discusses the approach or the results. For example: Approach: Research Methodology, or Scope of the Project, Results: Research results, or Conclusions, something like that. In other situations, maybe Sources... Without more background, though, these are just suggestions. TBZ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gato 919 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 See below for typical section headings for an international scientific journal article: http://abacus.bates.edu/~ganderso/biology/resources/writing/HTWsections.html The Structure, Format, Content, and Style of a Journal-Style Scientific Paper http://www.sciencemag.org/site/feature/contribinfo/prep/prep_init.xhtml Please indicate the main sections of your paper with headings followed by a colon: Title:, Authors:, Affiliations:, Abstract:, Main Text:, References:, Acknowledgments:, Figure #:, Table #:, and Supplementary Material. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny同志 577 Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Thanks for your help, Flickserve, TBZ, and gato. The paper is a master’s thesis on business model innovation. I don't think the relevant section is a typical component of a standard research paper. To make the English sound less awkward, I will translate the term as “Content”. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gato 919 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 If "研究内容" is a summary of the paper, you can use the heading "Abstract" or just "Summary". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny同志 577 Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Thanks gato. Unfortunately, it is neither an abstract nor a summary. : ( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skylee 1,912 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 And it is not about the scope of the research project? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny同志 577 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Thanks Skylee. 'Scope' would be a better option but I had sent the work in... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
