The first step is to find a point of interest by yourself, and then write a note containing your own thoughts as much as possible, although it is basically naive to wait until later.
The second step is to collect and prepare a large number of relevant documents, sort them out, and eliminate the documents that are of little significance to the research.
The third step is to read a large number of collected documents. When you read and study these documents, you can't live without ideas. In this process, your own ideas will gradually increase, and you will also find that there are many childish and superficial places in the article you wrote in the first step, and then choose some of them, and at the same time make targeted criticism in the process of learning other people's achievements.
The fourth step is to sort out your own feelings after reading, combining the notes of the first step and the original intention of choosing a topic. Create as many innovations and highlights as possible. String the original ideas of chicken and dog articles into an article with clear theme and distinct personality. (strung together)
To put it simply, it is relatively easy to criticize others' achievements and reality on the basis of others' research and make innovations in research angle, such as finding things that others are easy to ignore. (others say east, you say west. )
If you want to be a pioneer and founder in an academic field, it is very difficult to put forward an article with innovative principles for the first time.
