◇ 关于研究的若干问题，作者：陈熙霖。（ppt） ◇ [A Letter to Research Students](http://www.jdl.ac.cn/how_to_research/doc/research_A Letter to Research Students.pdf), by Duane A. Bailey. (pdf) (Research can be made more enjoyable and productive through a little organization. For many computer scientists, research techniques are a product of experience rather than, unfortunately, formal training. Several organizational suggestions are outlined here, most of which are useful to the undergraduate researcher. Items in italics are aimed at graduate students, professional researchers, and faculty. Enjoy!) ◇ [Research Primer for Graduate Students](http://www.jdl.ac.cn/how_to_research/doc/Research Primer for Graduate Students.pdf), (pdf) (This short paper is intended to help you approach your research in a systematic manner. It is not intended to be a guide on how to conduct research, though you will likely find useful information and tips (especially on the thesis process). ◇ The Researchers’ Bible (How to survive a PhD), by Alan Bundy, Ben du Boulay, Jim Howe and Gordon Plotkin. (pdf), (1985 ed. Pdf ). (Technical Report DAI Teaching Paper No . 4, Dept. of Artificial Intelligence, University of Edinburgh This version: February 17, 1995.

David Chapman. （DOC中文版） （[pdf](http://www.jdl.ac.cn/how_to_research/doc/Chapman88_How to do Research.pdf)） (This document presumptuously purports to explain how to do research.

(pdf) This is the latest version of the paper. The original version of it was called [How to be a Good Graduate Student/Advisor](http://www.jdl.ac.cn/how_to_research/doc/How to be a good graduate student.pdf), by Marie desJardins. (pdf) (This paper attempts to raise some issues that are important for graduate students to be successful and to get as much out of the process as possible, and for advisors who wish to help their students be successful. The intent is not to provide prescriptive advice -- No formulas for finishing a thesis or twelve-step programs for becoming a better advisor are given -- but to raise awareness on both sides of the advisor-student relationship as to what the expectations are and should be for this relationship, what a graduate student should expect to accomplish, common problems, and where to go if the advisor is not forthcoming.)
