Applied research is the nature of scientific papers, and applied research is to apply the knowledge generated from basic research to solve practical problems of human beings. With a specific practical purpose or application goal, the research results generally only affect a limited range of science and technology. The performance of research results is more diverse, except articles, patents, products and other forms.

One of the characteristics of this kind of academic papers is empirical, and its results are the conclusions produced by the practical application of specific basic theories in specific fields. Although they are not particularly innovative, they can test the correctness, scientificity and rationality of the basic theory, and at the same time, they can constantly broaden the application field and guidance scope of the basic theory.

Attach importance to the writing of applied research academic papers

The research methods of applied research-oriented academic papers are generally based on empirical methods. It must obtain the empirical data of a specific research object through investigation, observation, behavior, statistics, measurement and other empirical methods. , and then according to a certain data model to analyze the data and draw empirical conclusions, and then combined with the basic theory of specific disciplines, through logical reasoning to get application countermeasures and suggestions.

In this innovation process, Dewey's pragmatic philosophy of "boldly assuming and carefully verifying" should be the core of this innovation model. According to the basic principles of the basic theory, we boldly assume the application effect of the theory in concrete practice, and then obtain a large number of empirical data by empirical methods.
