To trace the work of known scientists in your research area
To read 10 papers per week
How to step into a new research field and conduct new research project?
To be positive and curious enough
To be confident and adaptable
To read tutorial papers, English behind Chinese
To identify the research challenges and problems, and understand the new knowledge and tools
To link these problems with your existing background and experise
To read the papers/references in two stages, classify the papers(problems) and make record
1) To focus on the abstract and introduction to understand (which problem, why important, disadvantage of existing work, existing gaps, how the proposed method work, which theory and tools used, how to perform experiments) and leave the theoretical proof and mathematical derivationn
2) To thoroughly investigate the design, proof, and theoretical analysis only after the paper is selected as the seeds. For some difficult papers, we need focus on the use (specific points) of the theory and mathematical tools and read for multiple times.
Using when learning. Making notes, writing summaries and classifying papers.How to produce and publish high-quality research papers productively?
Paper review and evaluation criteria:
Relevance and Suitability
Originality and Contributions (highlight)

To link the work with the theme of the journal and conference
To follow the author instructions of the journal and fellow the style/structure of the top papers in the topic
To cite the references of the journal/congference you targeted

The specific components (contributions)
How to link theory with the work
Validation, comparision and performance analysis
Introduction and justify the experimental scenarios and parameter-setting (from real-world scenarios, standards, widely used, or complete consideration) to show the comparision is fair and reasonable
Explain the results and reasons
What are the insights
