Schedule to write a research report

(A note I left in my abandoned MSN space. I am reviewing if my real policy following this schedual.)

This is the brief list summarized from the book “Writing research papers”. This schedule represents researches are recursive works from finding a question then solving it. The process is monotonous but challenging. A man’s wisdom would be sharper and sharper after completing one schedule by another schadule. Here they are:
