but only 32.39% (32) can use it expertly

in which graduate students were less proficient in doctoral students (P < 0.05)

and academic graduate students were less proficient in professional graduate students (P < 0.05); in addition

90.14% (128) of the students think that the scientific research data processing and charting related courses are very important

while 82.39% (117) support the opening of related courses. Conclusion Graduate students are an important part of high-level talents in China. According to the requirements of graduate students on the data processing and diagram designing in writing scientific research papers
