1.Chengxiang Zhai(翟成祥):General Steps to Define a Research Problem:Generate and Test
    Generate:Raise a question
    Test:
                 Novelty test: Figure out to what extent we know how to answer the question
                        There’s already an answer to it:  Is the answer good enough? 
                        Yes: not interesting, but can you make the question more challenging? 
                        No: your research problem is how to get a better answer to the raised question
                        No obvious answer:  you’ve got an interesting problem to work on
                 Tractability test: Figure out whether the raised question can be answered 
                        I can see a way to answer it or potentially answer it: you’ve got a  solvable problem
                        I can’t easily see a way to answer it: Is it because the question is too hard or you’ve not worked hard enough? Try to reframe the problem to make it easier
                 Evaluation test: Can you obtain a data set and define measures to test solutions/answers? 
                        Yes: you’ve got a clearly defined problem to work on 
                        No: can you think of anyway to indirectly test the solutions/answers? Can you reframe the problem to fit the data? 
                 Every time you reframe a problem, try to do all the three tests again.

  主要观点:(1)问题是科学研究的真正起点。
              (2)问题实质:矛盾、疑惑、怀疑。
              (3)问题类型:
                    a.某个理论体系内部的逻辑矛盾
                    b.不同理论体系之间的矛盾,如耗散结构理论的出现
                    c.理论结构不符合简单性与普遍性要求
                    d.现有理论与经验事实之间的矛盾
                    e.对经验事实未能作出统一的理论说明
                    f.理论应用与现有技术条件的矛盾
