What makes your research a contribution?, When do we accept knowledge?,…

- - - - Need improvement
      - Rejected / Ignored
      - Is it impactful?
        
        Accepted
    - - If you extensively referencing another person's work in yours, this might be a good candidate.
      - Or there might be a core foundational paper that everyone cites
        
        Written by one of the leaders in the field
      - Visualize a place where you want to go and speak about your research.
        
        Where do you want to go and who do you want to see?
        
        Why that place or that person is a good one to be visited?
        
        They are the ones who work in the same field
        
        The ones who would like to scrutinize your work, because they also want to build on it further
        
        The ones who would like to see whether your results lie relative to them.
      - Easy to start
        
        Peers whose work you have already read.
        
        Do not limit yourself to one or two.
        
        The authors of paper or textbooks.
      - Will these people like my work?
        
        If you say to yourself: no I can't show my work to Prof. X, he will ignore it because I have not done whatever part very rigorously. Then it is already a good feedback.
      - As you read and interact with folks in your field
        
        you would began to absorb their culture
        
        it is tough to change a culture of the community.
        
        ways of doing things
        
        value system of the research community
      - The person who are engage with the process of making knowledge, just like you.
- - - - The other fields might only
        being used as a tool.
        
        A knowledge probably does not lie in that field.
        
        Example: analyzing chemical process using advanced statistical methods to infer what's going on
        
        The statistical method only being used as a tool
        and not contributing any knowledge to chemical engineering.
        
        Similarly the chemical process does not contribute any knowledge to the statistical field.
        
        The real knowledge perhaps lies in chemical engineering where we are trying to characterize the energy requirement of a certain chemical process.
        
        The research folks in chemical engineering might not familiar with this advanced statistical tools.
        
        We might need to include statistical tutorial to speed up others to understand that work. But we are not going to send it to the experts in statistics because they might already familiar with it and consider it an established knowledge.
