The academic manuscripts of postgraduate students is an important source of contributions for the comprehensive sci-tech journals in colleges and universities. Thus
the comprehensive sci-tech periodicals in colleges and universities play an increasingly important role in the academic training of postgraduate authors. However
many postgraduate authors are not familiar with the writing norms of scientific and technological papers
which leads to format defects in their manuscripts. Moreover
there are some new revisions to the relevant standards and norms for the publication of scientific and technological journals
which are not known by postgraduate authors. Based on examples
this paper analyzes the common normative problems in abstracts
quantities and units
illustrations and tables
and references
in order to arise the attention of postgraduate writers. The postgraduate authors should standardize their paper before submission
so as to reduce the number of revisions
shorten the publication time
reduce the editing workload
and improve the quality and efficiency of editing and publishing.
