What do you mean the good research?

Young researchers always are worried about their career and this makes them mostly confuse in their research field. There are bunch of stuff that they should take care of them, publication, new finding, skill, being update, searching next job, getting match with new team and even new research field or culture, etc. If you look back then you can see each of them is a big barrier for others. Recently most researchers try to have a good CV with fastest and shortest way as possible to survive in research community. These make them to spend most of their times to take care f publications and connections and as soon as they come up with first simple idea in their research, which has basic property of a publication, directly they will publish it and move on. There is no time for challenging, improving or getting deep because they should take care of other things as well. Now these days when you are searching about a specific subject you will find a lot of research work but most of them just repeating each other again and again and some times you can see they are doing same mistake and nobody even consider that clear facts. How we can be creative? Spend time to review the background of research, start to find parallel research field, find attractive areas in research, learn the skill for measuring, calculating and analyzing it, collaborate with related research group, come up with good new finding, search for good editor in journal, design next step. How possibly some body can do those things in short time and in other hand he/she should act fast because his/her contract will be over soon and it’s time to move in new laboratory.
