The so-called innovation is difficult, and it is difficult to innovate. First, we must find the innovation point before we can realize the ways and methods of innovation. I think we can start from the following aspects:

1。 Scientific research literacy is the first and necessary step of innovation.

First of all, I'd like to browse all the articles and papers of tutors, brothers and sisters, reports on successful applications for NSFC, reports on unsuccessful applications, concluding reports, horizontal project reports and consulting reports, so as to know what you have done in this field, your tutors and previous generations. This is very necessary for a master. This is equivalent to giving you scientific research literacy, which is also necessary for those interdisciplinary doctors.

2。 Finding and decomposing problems is the source of innovation.

If you can't even find the problem or don't know how to decompose it, then the basic skills of scientific research need to be strengthened and the way of thinking in scientific research needs to be changed. Attend lectures by well-known experts or fund committees or ministries. You can hear many descriptions of real problems, not necessarily how to solve them, but perhaps throw them out. Problem-oriented is often the starting point of our research. There are also some bugs that can be cut short, that is, pay attention to the application guidelines of national funds (natural science, social science, 863, 973, etc.). ) and the fund projects that have won the bid. These websites have statistical data and project lists of annual award-winning projects. Go and see more. If you are interested in a fund project in 2007, you can choose it when choosing a topic. When the fund is finished, your doctoral thesis will be almost the same. Although I was in two places, I'm sure the result was different.

There is also more observation and more questions about why. Don't trust any authority, dare to question everything. What the tutor said is not necessarily right. Many major innovations are challenges to authority, and there are countless examples of this. Let me give you a simple example. Children in rural areas probably know that rice grows well and millet is full. I think most of them know that there is plenty of sunshine and good fertilizer here, and the roots can go deep into the ridge to absorb nutrients. However, it is estimated that some students from rural areas may also notice a phenomenon, that is, rice growing on the edge of the ridge is better. Why? The rice on the edge of the ridge is usually not flooded, so this is a problem. Just studying this problem or phenomenon, some teams have done 863,973 projects, which is actually a moderate deficit problem. If this problem is extended to medicine, you can see that people with stomach problems often eat very full and hungry, or often eat very full (it is said that eating too much often makes them stupid). In fact, wouldn't it be easier for people with stomach problems to eat "moderate deficiency"? The next question is: Then why is a moderate deficit enough? What medicine can we invent to make this person feel full or moderately deficient before his stomach is full? So the problem is to observe more detailed problems or problems that have happened at ordinary times. We often ask some questions that we are used to. I suggest you look at the annual Ig Nobel Prize.

For example, if you study management now, there will be many management problems. For a simple example, when you study, you find that there is little communication between you, and some people are unwilling to express their ideas. So many bosses hold weekly and monthly meetings, but the atmosphere is often not warm and the boss talks a lot. Then why? If we dig deeper, there will be many problems worth studying. The problem is not that you didn't observe it, or that you didn't ask the usual questions. Why? Decomposition problem, want to learn about WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) of management students. This is really helpful for students in other disciplines. You can search on Google and Baidu. Different disciplines are different. After reading this tool, we will figure it out in combination with our own disciplines. There is no same experience, just like a tool. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that before breaking down the work structure or looking at the problem, we must focus on the high places and start from the low places. The high place is to think about all relevant aspects of your problem in your mind, and the low place is to solve it from the leaves.

3。 Reading literature-the path dependence of getting innovative inspiration or solving problems.

Read literature instead of reading. Many bugs also contribute a lot of experience. But people around me also know about wood bugs, but many people are still confused after reading so many experiences. What is the reason? I observed my classmates and colleagues around me and found that it is very important to do too little work and read too few paper periodicals. I think a lot of wood bugs publish SCI and generally read foreign periodicals, but now many foreign periodicals in libraries also have paper editions. By reading the paper version, you can browse the related research of the top journals in your field. Why can't some people find innovation? Maybe they don't know what their research field is at all, and they just browse the paper version casually. Maybe you came across an irrelevant question and inspired you. We often use computers to search electronic documents. Innovation depends on articles on different topics, many of which come from interdisciplinary and other disciplines. Of course, some disciplines need the support of experimental equipment even if they want to innovate, which is also a process of constant running-in.

If you want to find your own innovation, I think it is very important to read the literature. What do you think? First of all, prepare a modest notebook (which can be named scientific research inspiration book), preferably with a thick cover and a pen. In addition to computers, many students around us rely on computers and have a lot of documents. As for whether you have seen it, it is estimated that most of it takes up space. And a computer. As soon as the internet is open, your mind can't be completely focused on literature, QQ for a while, forum for small wooden bugs for a while and so on. , it's too much to bother you. Inspiration = peace of mind+environment. Go to the periodical reading room of the library and write the questions you thought and heard before 1 2 (and write them in your special scientific research inspiration book) for at least 2 months. When reading a periodical, if any inspiration flashes, write it down immediately. Remember, you must write it down A good memory is better than a bad pen, and indicate the source. What problem did your inspiration solve? When reading periodicals, it is best to look at them from the catalogue, and browse anything that is slightly related.

For scientific research doing experiments, there are few periodicals, which are professional and can be read quickly. However, social sciences, such as management, economics, law and other disciplines, often involve many periodicals, so the time is very long, but at this time after the first year of high school, we must calm down and study. For social sciences, innovation is often not easy. I think graduate students of social sciences must browse magazines of engineering, science or interdisciplinary subjects, and generally they will gain a lot. In addition, the problem of social science research is often a systematic problem. So as long as it is a system problem, engineering control magazines (such as control and decision-making, electrical automation, mechanical engineering, etc. ), system magazine (system engineering theory and practice, operational research, etc. ) and computer magazine (China computer magazine, computer technology and application, microcomputer system, etc. ) you should read it. Even engineering students can go to see it. For example, some people study the allocation of water resources, which is obviously a systematic problem. These magazines are very helpful.

4. Use the Internet-a good assistant for innovation.

Of course, there are many professional forums and databases on the Internet, and I classify them as electronic documents. How to read electronic documents? First of all, we should classify by subject. Many bugs have contributed, so I won't talk about it here. According to the above 3, you get a lot of inspiration from paper periodicals, so now you ask for your inspiration keywords or themes from electronic documents, and you should write them down immediately when reading according to the method of 3, or create a word document or special software to intercept what you are interested in and indicate what is your inspiration next to it. What's the use? This is very important. Some people read the literature and throw it aside. They read too much and lost too much. In addition, when reading electronic documents, be sure to turn off things like QQ and forums, and don't let these interrupt your inspiration.

5. Accumulation-innovative skills and key means.

By following steps 3 and 4, you will accumulate a lot of inspiration. A thick book or a long word file, so review it again. Remember, there is no innovation without accumulation! ! ! ! This accumulation does not mean downloading documents from the database and putting them into calculation, but the visible accumulation of your reading documents, your bright spots or the inspiration of taking notes at any time. In this way, you have found the relevant literature, and you think you can write a short paper, so you can start writing at once. Don't delay, don't make excuses, you know the passion for writing will be lost and can't be found back. Write the composition well, leave it for a while, and then read it. If possible, submit it after revision. If you think it's ok, contribute some magazines. If you think it is average, vote for the average core. If you think it's really bad, vote for the non-core one. Here, some classmates and colleagues around me have an idea that you can send it if you want. I don't think this is a good idea. Even if it is a non-core article, I will still be very happy when I see my own things in types, which will give me great spiritual motivation. If your manuscript is SCI, EI, SSCI, etc., it will be difficult to send it in a year and a half, which will dampen your enthusiasm and make you depressed, and once you are depressed, your inspiration will run away. Inspiration is very biased towards people with active thoughts and spirits. It should also be noted that big innovations are made up of small innovations. There is no big one without a small one. The goal of victory is always approaching in constant refueling. Even writing a small paper will be very smooth, which is estimated to be very important for social science bugs.

6. Go to nature-get an innovative ecological heart.

In fact, many problems we are solving now come from nature, which is the source of life and the origin of innovation. Whether you are doing theoretical research or social research, it is very important to keep an ecological heart. Too utilitarian, impetuous and dusty heart is the killer of innovation. Go to nature, don't visit any streets and supermarkets. At this point, it is estimated that some people will say, what does this have to do with finding innovation? Climb high and look far. I wonder, if you are in such a noisy supermarket and so many handsome guys and beautiful women pass by you, will your nerves rest? Will your mind flash? So, if you are tired of staying in the laboratory or dormitory, you don't know what to do. It is better to bring your own research inspiration books and pens, and go to the suburbs or climb mountains to broaden your mind. Maybe your depression will go out and inspiration will come in.

Summary: Pay attention to reading magazines of interdisciplinary and other disciplines, remember more, be calm, do more, and get close to nature.

I know in my heart that there is no brain to understand, but the method is wrong. It is not that there is no innovation, but that there is not enough accumulation.
