(一种很典型的行文方式:把所有工作摊煎饼地摆出来,反正我列出来了,哪个有用你自己找)
“做这个工作的有ABCD, A 做了xxx,B做了xxx,C和D做了xxx” ——类似的句式,不要再这样写啦。写相关工作的时候,作者应该是充当一种指路人,或者说书人的角色:在详细介绍核心内容之前,把故事背景在读者面前慢慢地,有条理地展开。
所以,你需要把面前的相关文献们,用一条线串起来,来向读者展现它们之间,以及和自己工作之间的关联。这些逻辑可能是递进的:例如文章ABC开创了某个领域,DEF在这个问题领域提出了集中思路,GHI则是在各个思路下的改进——那么我们就可以先说用总领的话来叙述ABC,然后用并列的方式讲DEF,最后可以一笔带过GHI(如果它们不是那么重要的话)。
这些逻辑可能是并列的:例如文章ABC用了X技术来解决某个问题,DEF用了Y技术,而GHI则用了DrustZ的技术——那么我们可以使用分条列举的方式,先写”为了解决某个问题,大家采用了不同的方法“,然后列出1)X技术[ABC] 2)Y技术[DEF] 3) DrustZ的技术[GHI] 。这样把类似的文章集中起来,大家看着也顺溜。
还有些其他不怎么常见的逻辑顺序,比如分-总(例如先有零散的工作,后来有一篇文献把它们综合了起来)。但是当我们意识到文献内在的逻辑顺序,并且把它们按照逻辑列举出来的时候,就已经比许多论文的相关文献高出了不止一个档次:)
更加高级的写作方式,则是与其列举文献,更像是让文献为作者自己的陈述服务。你在阅读的过程中,很难感觉到作者在刻意塞进一些文献来充数;相反,作者是在整理自己的思路,顺便引用了关键的文献来加以佐证。
开头不要直接列别人的文章,先概括地说一下这个段落的主题;写完一个小部分,不要立即跳到下一段开始写另一个部分,而是在末尾写一个过渡句:“以上就是人们在X领域的研究,但是随着Y技术的进步,更多的人把目光转移到了Z上”,“对于Y技术在X领域的研究已经介绍许多,但在另一个Z方面,相同的技术也有许多应用”。拿出小学作文满分的本领来!
我老板写Related Work有一个习惯,从来不会在大标题下什么都不写就直接跳到第一个小标题(例如上边那个反例)。在大标题的下面,用一些总领的语言来概括+引出接下来的小章节,其实也是一个很好的过渡方式。一切为了读者服务!
