Ask HN: How To Do Research?

1 pointsby mihirchroniclesabout 5 years ago
I came across this fascinated research report on Covid this morning https:&#x2F;&#x2F;project-evidence.github.io&#x2F;.<p>This poses the question on what are some of the resources that shows or teaches one how to do a deliberate and thorough research?<p>I have found one How to do Research At the MIT AI Lab? http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dspace.mit.edu&#x2F;bitstream&#x2F;handle&#x2F;1721.1&#x2F;41487&#x2F;AI_WP_316.pdf?sequence=4&amp;isAllowed=y<p>Are there any other good resources like this one?

It depends on what type of research you want to do? For example, this is very good resource for medical research: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rise.articulate.com&#x2F;share&#x2F;soW5Pvyk3T4Ib-P4A7gS6AFqyOxsB2Eo#&#x2F;lessons&#x2F;5WUdZcHZv5ibu-qnLK7Sm8BoyMlFBvmW" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rise.articulate.com&#x2F;share&#x2F;soW5Pvyk3T4Ib-P4A7gS6AFqyO...</a>

For the report is more like a collection of cherrypicked information than good research. It was discused here yesterday <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=22897708" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=22897708</a><p>One of the comments that I think is important was made by nicolas_t:<p>&gt; <i>Haven&#x27;t read much yet. But the first point already doesn&#x27;t inspire much confidence. &quot;This market is less than 9 miles away from The Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences&quot;. 9 miles away means that it&#x27;s at the opposite of the city.</i><p>&gt; <i>I mean, that text is trying to make it seem like they are close to each other when actually it just means that both are in the same city. 9 miles is not a small distance in a big city like wuhan.</i><p>&gt; <i>It&#x27;s like saying that Queens is next to the Statue of Liberty.</i>
