Initial steps for new researchers


For new researchers, it is always difficult to identify the starting steps. With my experience, I identified that following tasks should be performed by researchers during initial research phase:

  • Identify the research area
  • Identify the research problems of the selected research area
  • Identify the most important research papers of the selected research problems
  • Identify active and important researchers working on the selected research problems
  • Identify active research groups working on the selected research problems
  • Identify successful research project associated with selected research problems
    • Success in terms of publication and prototypes outcome
  • Identify the related high quality journals, conferences, and workshops
    • Create a list of important journals, conferences, and workshops with deadlines for submission, reviews, and camera-ready submission
