Research is the main line of PHD study but what the research is? Based on my understanding, research = reading papers + summarizing + critique + new ideas. 

Hmmmm...... To be honest, I still do not know if I like doing research, sometimes like and sometimes not. Currently, I think it is important to make research matching with one's characteristics, because doing research is a gradual and accumulating process, requiring lots of patience and hardworking. ....... Indeed, research is a long way to go and need lots of courage.

My current research is Geocollaboration, involving several disciplines including GIScience, cognitive science, and CSCW. And my other research interests include communication, advertise, film and user interface. Welcome to communicate with me if we share same interests,
