It reflects postgraduates’ research achievements and the educational quality of an institute, even a country. To construct an optimized quality evaluation system for postgraduate dissertation (QESPD), we summarized the influencing factors and invited 10 experienced specialists to rate and prioritize them based on fuzzy analytic hierarchy process. Four primary indicators (innovation, integrity, scientificity and normativity) and 16 sub-indicators were selected to form the evaluation system. The order of primary indicators by weight, was innovation (0.4269), scientificity (0.2807), integrity (0.1728) and normativity (0.1196). The top five sub-dimensions were theoretical originality, scientific value, data reliability, design rationality and evidence credibility. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system, a case study was performed. In the case study, it was demonstrated that the established two-index-hierarchy QESPD in this study was a more scientific and reasonable evaluation system worthy of promotion and application.展开更多

Abstract is the essential part of the paper, which helps the readers get initial impressions. Because of its particular the usage of communication, it has its special rules and mode. The purpose of this paper was to present the 5-move model characteristic of research dissertation Abstracts, and explore the linguistic characteristics of each move. The analysis started from the macrostructure, i.e from the text as a whole, towards the microstructure which included linguistic description (syntactic and lexical). The results showed that most abstracts followed 5-move model and the linguistic features of this genre.展开更多

Method: Bibliometric method and content analysis method were used to analyze the introduction of foreign language scales in the current Chinese nursing master’s dissertation which have been collected from CNKI database and WanFang database before February 1, 2018. Results: The introduction of foreign language scales started late, which was from 2012. In 2013, the foreign scales were most introduced (16.2%). The main source of thesis is from Tianjin Medical University (11.6%). English was the most popular language of the foreign scales (93.8%). 80.2% of researchers did not use translation guides. 31.3% of translators comfort the requirements of the translation guidelines. The introduced scales have good reliability and validity. Conclusion: The number of nursing masters dissertation introducing foreign scales has increased year by year with more sources and high quality. It shows that the academic level of nursing postgraduate student in China has been improved. Postgraduate students have a higher ability to learn foreign nursing knowledge and skills and use foreign nursing research tools. However, the lack of translation guide and the ambiguity of the selection criteria of the translators are widespread.展开更多

This research categorizes dissertationby both their abstracts and by their full-text using the GraphLabCreate library from Apple’s Turi to identify if abstract analysis is anadequate measure of content categorization, which we found was not. Wealso compare the dissertation categorizations using IBM’s Watson Discoverydeep machine learning tool. Our research provides perspectiveson the practicality of the manual classification of technical documents;and, it provides insights into the: (1) categories of academic work createdby experienced fulltime working professionals in a Computing doctoralprogram, (2) viability and performance of automated categorization of theabstract analysis against the fulltext dissertation analysis, and (3) natuallanguage processing versus human manual text classification abstraction.展开更多

The application of IT technology renders the possibility to digitize those dissertations, which has contributed a lot to the construction of digital library. The characteristics and corresponding problems like property right, security and sharing will be discussed in this paper.
