Academic Writing in Textile Department

Study Notes

Research is not complete until it is written up, and the writing should communicate and persuade the reader.
Write as if speaking to someone, using a clear and direct tone.
The writing process should involve four drafts:
- First draft: putting the facts together
- Second draft: checking for coherence and fluency of ideas
- Third draft: ensuring readability
- Fourth draft: editing

The Introduction should include a clear hypothesis, which serves as the skeleton of the thesis.
The Literature Review should be directly relevant to the thesis subject and include a clear scope and emphasis.
Experimental details should be presented in a common chapter to avoid repetition.
Experiments and results should be set out in individual chapters with careful detail.
The General Discussion or Conclusions should integrate the whole thesis and present its main points.

Start writing early to avoid delaying the writing process.
Writing early helps detect errors early and allows for easy corrections.
A well-written "Technical Report" forces you to think about your work and can help detect errors.
Write your thesis from the inside out, starting with chapters on your own experimental work.
Arrange your chapters to ensure that your first and last experimental chapters are sound and solid.
Write the Introduction after writing the Conclusions to ensure they match.

The title should be succinct, focused, and objective, giving the scope of the thesis.
The Abstract or Summary should highlight new knowledge and what the thesis is about.
The Introduction should create a lasting impression on the examiner, using flow diagrams, headings, and subheadings.
The Literature Review should be a critical synthesis of the state of knowledge, highlighting areas needing further investigation.
The hypothesis must be framed carefully, and experiments designed thoughtfully to test it.
The General Discussion or Conclusions should be read carefully to pick up repetition and edit ideas.
