Problem Selection

Good research largely depends on the selected problem– A good problem is difficult to find

• Not too easy or too difficult

How to select a problem?– Is it an old problem or a new problem?

• Usually, new problems have more opportunities

Is it a significant problem?• Practically important yet technically challenging

• There are many mediocre papers published– Do not ruin your taste by poor-quality papers

• Read selectively– Highly cited papers and papers from first-tier journals and top-

ranked conferences

• Classification of papers– Type A: 80% understanding (main idea, solution method and

main results)– Type B: 50% understanding (idea & results)– Type C: 20% understanding (only introduction)

• Learn to appreciate good papers and criticize poor papers

– Last Words ……• Revise• Word Count• If additional, than, develop a link to refer

• Develop rejection news…..
