2. If the above method can't find the full text, search the author's name or the title of the article on Google (not Google Academic Search) and use the author's name, because I found that many foreign authors like to directly post the full text (PDF) of the article on the Internet. Generally speaking, they will hang their articles on their home pages, which may also be to let other researchers know more about their academic fields and promote themselves by the way. In this way, you can download the full text of the literature you want. You can even download other articles similar to the author's content. If the literature is written by multiple authors, the first author can't find his personal homepage, so the second author can be found by the above method, and so on. Use the title of the article to search, because on some foreign websites, such as the libraries of some foreign universities, the full text of PDF published by our university in one year or in recent years may be hung online, or there may be such a similar full text on the ftp of this university. This will probably download the full text you want for free.
If you can't find the literature you want by the above two methods, you can write an email directly to the author for it. Generally speaking, the author likes to give his own documents to others, because he gives them to others, which is equivalent to spreading his academic thoughts.
Get the latest scientific research information quickly and accurately.
How to get the needed information quickly and accurately from the vast ocean of information and learn to analyze and utilize information resources has become an important skill for people based on the information society. In today's complex information world, it is very important to improve the ability of researchers to obtain information accurately and quickly. The most important way for us to keep abreast of the latest scientific research achievements is to know the latest scientific research literature. But for our commonly used database, we can't visit the database once a day to see if there are the latest documents. For many foreign databases, the publishing efficiency of articles is very high. Some of them post a few new articles every week, some once every half a month and once a month, so it is difficult for everyone to keep browsing the database every day. But have you found that a good service function of foreign databases is that if you register your email address on the database website, the database will automatically send the contents and links of the articles to your email address to inform you directly. This will help us to get the latest information. Take Elsevier as an example, an "alert" clicked on the database website to enter. You need to enter a "user name" and a "password", which are for people who have registered an email address. If you haven't registered yet, you will also see an English line "If not, register now. It's free and allows you to "be on the right". Click "Register Now" on the right to register. Choose the periodical you need and your research field, and of course, fill in your email address. After successful registration, you can receive the latest literature, and you can modify your email address at any time. Not only databases like Elsevier have this function, but all foreign language databases have the function of "email reminder". You can try.
3. How to read literature
In fact, it is impossible to do scientific research without reading literature. Only by extensive reading and in-depth research can we accumulate and write famous articles. Don't be impetuous in reading literature, or just want to graduate. On the contrary, we should calm down and read a lot of documents. In the process of reading, some documents can be understood, but most of them can't. Learn what you know, and explore what you don't know. If it really doesn't work, just put it down for the time being. After a while, with the improvement of knowledge and ability, you will gradually understand something. Even though I still don't understand, I know there is such a thing in my heart, which will pave the way for further study. In addition, don't read the literature for the sake of reading it. We read it for our own scientific research, so we must combine your own data in the process of reading. After reading a document, you should sum it up. If you use your own data, how to explain it? There are also some articles in Niuren publications, which should not only learn the knowledge in the articles, but also learn the writing style of Niuren. A good article will certainly have a good style of writing, which is what we will learn when writing articles in the future.
In addition, I believe that many colleagues engaged in scientific research will have a feeling that the documents they have read are easy to forget if they are only marked and underlined, and it will be very troublesome to query after a while. Especially when you read hundreds of articles, although you can sort them out, the effect is still not good.
I suggest that when you read a document, open the word document, sort out the colorful and important parts of the article, then copy it, mark the title and author of the document, and put each document into a group. The method is simple to operate, and it will be very helpful when you want to inquire and repeat in the future, especially when you write an article, the relevant literature and its highlights can be seen at a glance. This method has been accumulated for a long time and is of great help to improve writing and reading. In addition, I sometimes translate some classic paragraphs or sentences into Chinese and put them in my notebook. This will not only save the trouble and time of writing articles in the future, but also sharpen the ability of English-Chinese translation, which is very beneficial to your oral expression when communicating with foreigners in the future.
Finally, please always remember that we should always check the literature when doing scientific research, and don't check it without looking. We must try our best to read them. Even a cursory look is useful. We should also treat scientific issues dialectically. The opinions of others in the document are just the opinions of one family. Don't be superstitious about authority.
"Science itself is a kind of human practice. Scientific research is a process of thinking. Scientific action is the activity of carrying out certain thinking processes, the purpose of which is to test the effectiveness of these thinking processes, and then to modify and improve these thinking processes in order to reach the highest understanding. Like all scientific practices, scientific judgment depends on personal experience, beliefs and emotions. Many of us, or all of us, have made mistakes in one way or another in our professional experience. Scientists should be open-minded, dare to abandon preconceptions and get rid of their attachment to wrong thoughts and feelings.
