A thesis for professional advancement is a paper written to achieve a higher professional rank; in essence, it remains a paper, and therefore it needs to have the elements typical of any paper: purpose, methods, results, conclusions, and other components. But what exactly should we include in each of these sections? A. Purpose – The premise, objectives, and tasks of research, development, investigation, etc., as well as the scope of the topics involved. B. Methods – the principles, theories, conditions, subjects, materials, processes, structures, means, equipment, procedures, etc., used. C. Results — the outcomes of experiments and studies, data, established relationships, observations, achieved effects, performance, etc. D. Conclusion – analysis of results, research, comparison, evaluation, application, raised questions, future topics, hypotheses, insights, recommendations, predictions, etc. E. Other – not part of the main objectives of research, development, or investigation, but still important information in terms of its insights and informational value. Generally speaking, for descriptive abstracts, B, C, and D4 should be written in detail, while A and E can be kept simple or even omitted depending on the specific circumstances; for indicative abstracts, A should be written in detail, while B, C, D, and E can be kept simple or omitted as appropriate. This needs to be considered and weighed according to different circumstances.
