What is this?
A Chinese-language handbook for students new to academic research, teaching the basics of how to do research and write papers from scratch.
Is this a tutorial, a tool, or a list of links?
It is a written guide/handbook (manual) created by a professor and students, not a tool or a curated link list.
How is the content organized and where should I start?
The handbook covers the main workflow of research and paper writing, plus a misc section with tips on academic conferences, scholarships, and AI-assisted research; new students would start with the core guide on how to do research and write papers.
Do I need any prior research experience to read this?
No specific prior experience is required; it is explicitly aimed at people with no research background who are just starting out.
Is the guide finished, or still a work in progress?
The author states the project is still in an early stage and will be continuously updated and improved based on feedback.
Who is this guide meant for?
Undergrad, master's, and PhD students who just joined a research group, first-time project participants, and even advisors who are mentoring new researchers.
Why was this guide made?
The author noticed that new research students often lack systematic guidance and repeatedly need the same basics explained (what research is, how to find and judge papers, how to come up with ideas, how to submit a first paper), so this guide was written to fill that gap.
What kind of miscellaneous topics does it cover beyond the core research process?
It includes guidance on attending academic conferences, finding scholarships to apply for, and tips for using AI to assist with research.
Did the author draw on other existing resources?
Yes, it cites and builds on materials from well-known Chinese academics like Zhou Zhihua, Peng Sida, and Wei Xiucan, as well as the English book 'Science Research Writing: For Non-Native Speakers of English'.
