QS World University Ranking uses the citation rate index of each faculty member to measure the research quality of the institution. The citation rate of papers refers to the number of citations of scientific papers to documents. The citation rate of papers is a sign to measure the recognition of a country's scientific research documents by other countries or institutions. The documents cited at the end of scientific papers play an important role in the papers. Everyone who is engaged in scientific research knows that before starting research, a discipline must systematically investigate and pursue its predecessors, and have a comprehensive and profound understanding of the history, present situation and development trend of the whole discipline.
The research results should show that the topic you choose must be a meaningful topic that has not been done or completed by predecessors. So as to avoid repeating the work done by others because of ignorance to the maximum extent.
At the same time, in the process of your own research, you must always know the progress of colleagues related to the topic, so as to modify or adjust your research direction and breakthrough point. In short, we must understand that reading is the basis of in-depth research in scientific research.
