Read literature instead of reading. 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. 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. There are few Chinese periodicals for experimental scientific research, which are professional and can be read quickly. For social sciences, innovation is often not easy.
