Methods/steps
1/6 Step by step reading
1 Scientific research literacy is the first and necessary step of innovation.
First of all, I want to browse all the articles and academic papers of tutors, brothers and sisters, reports on successful application of science funds, reports on unsuccessful application, concluding reports, reports on horizontal projects and consulting reports, so as to know what you are doing, what your tutors have done in this field and what they have done in previous sessions. This is very necessary for a master. This is equivalent to giving you scientific research literacy, which is also necessary for those interdisciplinary doctors.

2 Finding and decomposing problems is the source of innovation.
If you can't even find the problem or don't know how to decompose it, then the basic skills of scientific research need to be strengthened and the way of thinking in scientific research needs to be changed. Attend lectures by well-known experts or fund committees or ministries. You can hear many descriptions of real problems, not necessarily how to solve them, but perhaps throw them out. Problem-oriented is often the starting point of our research. Don't trust any authority, dare to question everything. What the tutor said is not necessarily right. Many major innovations are challenges to authority, and there are countless examples of this. So the problem is to observe more detailed problems or problems that have happened at ordinary times. We often ask some questions that we are used to. I suggest you look at the annual Ig Nobel Prize.

3 Look at the literature-the path dependence of obtaining innovative inspiration or problem-solving methods.
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.

4. Use the Internet-a good assistant for innovation.
Of course, there are many professional forums and databases on the Internet, and I classify them as electronic documents. How to read electronic documents? According to the above 3, you get a lot of inspiration from paper periodicals, so now you ask for your inspiration keywords or themes from electronic documents, and you should write them down immediately when reading according to the method of 3, or create a word document or special software to intercept what you are interested in and indicate what is your inspiration next to it. What's the use? This is very important. Some people read the literature and throw it aside. They read too much and lost too much. In addition, when reading electronic documents, be sure to turn off things like QQ and forums, and don't let these interrupt your inspiration.

5 accumulation-the skill and key means of innovation.
By following steps 3 and 4, you will accumulate a lot of inspiration. A thick book or a long word file, so review it again. Remember, there is no innovation without accumulation! This accumulation does not mean downloading documents from the database and putting them into calculation, but the visible accumulation of your reading documents, your bright spots or the inspiration of taking notes at any time. In this way, you have found the relevant literature, and you think you can write a short paper, so you can start writing at once. Don't delay, don't make excuses, you know the passion for writing will be lost and can't be found back. After writing the composition, leave it for a while and then read it. If you can, you can modify it before submitting it. If you think it's ok, you can contribute to some magazines. If you feel average, you can vote for the core. If you feel really bad, you can vote for non-core ones. Here, some classmates and colleagues around me have an idea that you can send it if you want. I don't think this is a good idea. Even if it is a non-core article, I will still be very happy when I see my own things in types, which will give me great spiritual motivation.

6 Go to nature-get an innovative ecological heart.
In fact, many problems we are solving now come from nature, which is the source of life and the origin of innovation. Whether you are doing theoretical research or social research, it is very important to keep an ecological heart. Too utilitarian, impetuous and dusty heart is the killer of innovation. Go to nature, don't visit any streets and supermarkets. At this point, it is estimated that some people will say, what does this have to do with finding innovation? Climb high and look far. I wonder, if you are in such a noisy supermarket and so many handsome guys and beautiful women pass by you, will your nerves rest? Will your mind flash? So, if you are tired of staying in the laboratory or dormitory, you don't know what to do. It is better to bring your own research inspiration books and pens, and go to the suburbs or climb mountains to broaden your mind. Maybe your depression will go out and inspiration will come in.
