“Exposing Yourself to Research
Set aside some time every week for trying to generate research ideas. Some possible catalysts are:
- Make a weekly trip to the library to read at least the abstracts from the premier journals in your field. Choose an article or two to read in depth and critique.
- Make a weekly investigation to find technical reports in your field, using electronic resources or libraries. Read selectively and critique.
- Attend at a research seminar or colloquium series. Listen and critique.
Add these to your log, and ask the canonical questions. As you review the log 6 months from now, you may find something that strikes a chord then but is beyond you now.”

I am going to take this advice seriously and document everything I come across, but we do need some standards.
