What is it like to be a researcher or a scientist? For young people, including graduate students and junior faculty members in universities, how can they identify good ideas for research? How do they conduct solid research to verify and realize their new ideas? How can they formulate their ideas and research results into high-quality articles, and publish them in highly competitive journals and conferences? What are effective ways to supervise graduate students so that they can establish themselves quickly in their research careers? In this book, Ling and Yang answer these questions in a step-by-step manner with specific and concrete examples from their first-hand research experience.

Student A is a Ph.D. candidate whose strength is academic research and whose career dream is a professorship in a university in the US or Canada. He published a good number of papers in competitive conferences and reputable jour- nals, and got his Ph.D. in 4 years. He then became a post-doctoral fellow for two years to deepen his research. He is now a tenure-track assistant professor in a US university. Through the book we will see how he started, how he chose and tried a few different research topics before settling down on his Ph.D. topic, how he did his research, and how he published many papers.

Student B is a Ph.D. candidate whose strength is empirical research. He wants to work in a research lab in a company. He has written several conference papers and one journal paper related to... (查看原文)
Good research should
