学术论文写作时态

论文各章节常用时态指南(含“提出新结构/算法”的情况)


1. 标题(Title)

  • 时态:通常省略动词,使用名词短语
  • ✅ 示例:

    A New Joint Design for Precast Concrete Frames
    Deep Learning-Based Algorithm for BIM–Reality Registration


2. 摘要(Abstract)

  • 主要时态

    • 一般现在时(描述本文内容,特别是“本文提出…”)✅
      • “This paper proposes a new joint design …”
      • “We present a registration algorithm based on …”
    • 一般过去时(具体实验做法或测试过程)
      • “We tested the node under cyclic loading.”
  • 🔍 如果你在摘要中声明创新点或贡献使用现在时
  • ✅ 示例段落:

    This paper proposes a novel steel–concrete joint for precast systems. A full-scale test was conducted to verify its seismic performance. Results show that the joint significantly improves ductility.


3. 引言(Introduction)

  • 主要时态

    • 一般现在时
      • 用于说明背景、动机、重要性
      • 用于明确论文贡献(即“本文提出…”)✅
      • 示例:
        • “BIM–reality alignment is vital for construction accuracy.”
        • “In this study, we propose a new algorithm …” ✅
    • 一般现在时:评价文献“观点”、“结论”
      • “Smith (2020) argues that …”
    • 现在完成时:强调文献发展脉络
      • “Researchers have explored multi‐sensor fusion since 2015.”
  • 论文自己的创新点(提出新结构、算法)→用现在时!

  • ✅ 示例句:

    In this paper, we propose a deep learning–based algorithm for point-cloud to BIM registration. Compared with existing methods, the algorithm offers higher precision and lower computational cost.


4. 材料与方法(Materials & Methods)

  • 主要时态
    • 一般过去时
      • 描述实验、建模、测试流程
      • 示例:
        • “The node was cast using HRB400 steel.”
        • “We implemented the algorithm in Python.”
    • 一般现在时
      • 对于算法、流程图、方程的构造描述本身,可以用现在时
      • 示例:
        • “The model consists of three modules.”
  • ❗ 新提出的结构或算法逻辑描述(如模块设计)可用现在时,但步骤执行仍用过去时
  • ✅ 示例:

    The proposed algorithm includes a feature extraction module, a coarse registration stage, and a refinement process. We trained the model using synthetic point clouds.


5. 结果(Results)

  • 主要时态
    • 过去时
      • 实验或仿真数据呈现(例如算法性能、节点承载力)
      • “The proposed node withstood a drift of 2.5%.”
    • 现在时
      • 图表、趋势、对比描述
      • “Figure 4 shows the displacement pattern.”

6. 讨论(Discussion)

  • 主要时态
    • 现在时
      • 对结果的解释、对比、影响、贡献的讨论
      • “These results indicate that the joint enhances energy dissipation.”
      • “The algorithm performs better than traditional ICP.”
    • 过去时
      • 回顾本文具体观察或实验行为
      • “We observed early yielding in Specimen B.”

7. 结论(Conclusion)

  • 主要时态
    • 现在时(总结贡献、陈述创新点)✅
      • “This paper proposes a novel joint …”
      • “The algorithm demonstrates high accuracy.”
    • 将来时(展望未来研究)
      • “Future work will focus on field validation.”
  • ✅ 如果你在结论中重申“本文提出了某种算法/结构”,请使用现在时
