1, the research direction should be chosen in the field you are good at, or under the guidance of people who are good at this direction.
Choosing the research direction is a headache and plays a decisive role in the success or failure of the research. What problem you study largely determines what level of articles you can publish and whether anyone reads them, so this is a very serious problem.
The research object largely determines the research results. For more than two thousand years, China took Confucius as the research object, and did not explore the research object, so he was complacent until he fell behind and was beaten. Therefore, the research object must be of great significance to social development, and we must constantly explore new research objects.
The research object and direction of graduate students are basically decided by the tutor, and there is not much room for choice, but you should understand this truth. Generally speaking, young people who are still engaged in scientific research after doctoral graduation should gradually expand on the basis of their own good methods, skills and fields. If you particularly like a certain field, you need to consult and learn from scholars who are familiar with the field. It would be better to work with successful people who are familiar with this field for a period of time.
2. Master English writing step by step, try to write it yourself, and compare it with the papers revised by the tutor.
English writing is a prerequisite for publishing SCI papers, because most Chinese periodicals in China are included in EI, so it is difficult to publish SCI papers. It is necessary to read more books on writing skills of scientific papers. I read how to write &; "PublishaScientificPaper" and "How to Publishing Zhapapertop Journal" are both very well written, and they are recommended to graduate students who have difficulty in writing English papers.
When I was a doctor, my first paper was written only in Chinese, and English was completely translated by my tutor. From the second paper, I translated it into English myself, and the tutor revised it and published it. After being a postdoctoral fellow, I began to write my own papers, from writing to submitting. At this time, I compared my original English with my tutor's revised English and found that my tutor was really much better than myself. Writing English papers is also a process of repeated revision. As long as you have patience, read more times and check more, you can always improve.
Writing a thesis is often the repetition of investigation and research.
Writing a thesis is inseparable from reading literature. Whether you just want to publish a few papers to graduate as soon as possible or you want to publish some influential papers to lay the foundation for your academic career, you need to read a lot of literature.
Reading literature has the following purposes:
(1) Investigate what others are doing and what the value of these things is;
(2) What others do and what they can do;
(3) Learn other people's methods, try to put forward your own methods, and so on.
Writing a thesis is often a process of repeated investigation and research. We need to investigate new problems in the process of research. If we solve this problem, we will encounter new problems and continue to investigate, and so on until we succeed. Finally, when writing a paper, you need to read the literature to see if others have done similar research, and make sure that your paper is innovative and valuable, and then publish it in the appropriate journals.
4. It is very important to write a good introduction, which directly determines whether the paper is hired or not and affects future research.
Generally speaking, the introduction needs to include the following contents:
(1) The significance and value of the research object;
(2) Review the relevant research work (it is not necessary to make a comprehensive review, but only introduce the particularly relevant literature);
(3) Problems existing in this research field, and I will do this research;
(4) What problems have you solved and what is the significance.
Don't just quote old references, which will make editors or reviewers think that no one is studying this field now. On the one hand, it will make it difficult for editors to find reviewers, on the other hand, it will be easy to reject manuscripts. In general, after reading the abstract and conclusion, the reviewer can basically decide whether to accept the paper. In the process of writing the introduction, I will read the introduction of many documents, which is a process of understanding the relevant research. If I don't intend to end my research in this direction and basically finish the introduction of a paper, I will consider what to write in the next paper.
5. Pay attention to references, which has a direct impact on the publishing speed of your own papers.
Editors of many journals generally look for reviewers through the author's references, so citing some recent documents can provide convenience for editors and naturally speed up the publication of their own papers. Key references must be cited, and the comments on the references in the introduction must be pertinent and appropriate, otherwise the reviewers will think that they don't understand the research background, so they will shoot your paper. Reference is the last part of the paper, and it is also the worst part of many papers. The writing format and even page numbers of references in many papers are wrong, which is not only irresponsible to readers, but also brings difficulties to their future references. Writing a good reference will help readers to consult relevant literature, thus accepting your research results more quickly, which is meaningful to increase the citation rate of your paper.
6. Cooperation is very important, which is conducive to opening up research fields and increasing the number of papers.
Depending on your own efforts, from research, research, writing papers to publication, a paper usually takes at least one or two months, and it is difficult to increase the number of papers. If you cooperate with others and one person writes a part, the number of papers of the collaborators will increase. In addition, partners can discuss with each other, inspire each other and complement each other in knowledge, which is much more efficient than going it alone, and it is easier to achieve great results. Doing research is sometimes boring, but it will be more interesting if you can discuss it with others. The relationship between partners should be properly handled, such as the issue of signature, and it is best to discuss it in advance. If there is a dispute in the process of submission, it will have a great impact on their relationship, and some collaborators will make enemies.
7. Dare to contribute, and persistence is victory.
Some doctoral students have done research for several years and have no papers. Asking why is nothing more than worrying that your research results are not valuable enough. This requires overcoming two difficulties:
(1) Dare to write, dare to contribute, refuse to make up for the lack of logistics, and then continue to contribute.
(2) Reading more literature will increase your confidence.
