Research Direction: How do one proceed



During starting stages, it is always confusing for a researcher to find a direction that will not only help in finding a good research papers but also minimizes the waste of time for finding and reading them. A good approach is given in this article using which even most of the researchers find it useful to save their plenty of time.

According to my approach, you can find it useful to look for research journals and repositories to find research papers relevant to your work. Out of these, IEEE and Elsevier (Mendeley) have a good collection of research papers.

Steps to find and read a research paper:
1. Searching research paper: Go to any of the links given below and type your keywords. Select the appropriate research paper based on these keywords and its title.
2. Find the relevant paper: Find If the title looks appropriate, then for literature review (background work) do the following:
  • Read the abstract first.
  • If you find it relevant, then read the conclusions.
  • After that, read its introduction and note down the key point [from this, you will get to know research done by others, the opportunity for find other relevant research papers whose links will be in reference section of that paper].
  • Then go to methodology (most of which may go out of your mind, still give it a look), results and discussion quickly.3. Note down: Write down the whole concept/work in one page (doc, not ppt), it will help you to write down your own document/ research paper).
4. Master Research: Now this paper acts as master to you [name it master research paper].
5. Make a Chain: Using references of that paper, based on the information of the introduction section (which you read earlier), you can further your research to make a chain of at least 20 relevant research papers.
