On February 2, the academic development center of college students of the school of economics held a special lecture on the ‘Jingwei’ academic elite training program online. Wang Hao, associate professor of finance department of school of economics, was invited to give an academic lecture on ‘undergraduate scientific research enlightenment’, explaining to the students how to do scientific research from scratch. All members of the second phase of the academic elite program attended the lecture.

Baiyan Liu first introduced Hao wang's study experience and research direction. Then, Mr. Wang gave a lecture entitled ‘undergraduate scientific research enlightenment’. He believed that the whole process of academic research should include five aspects: choosing direction, reading academic essays, finding data, conducting empirical research and writing papers. Mr. Wang suggested that students should start with problem orientation and method orientation. They should actively pay attention to domestic and international economic news, Xinhua news agency, ‘People's Daily’, ‘Financial breakfast’, Bloomberg, etc, especially the related speeches in the industry. The purpose of reading academic essays is to understand the degree of research and clarify the scope of research. When searching data, students should correctly use the university library database resources. Mr. Wang also demonstrated the specific operation steps. Conducting empirical research is the key to empirical papers, and students should correctly select the control variables, and try to use the method of cross test to ensure the reliability of the results; academic research results should ultimately be presented in the form of papers. A complete paper should include the title, abstract, keywords, introduction, literature review, method introduction, empirical analysis, conclusion and conclusion. However, it should be noted that the order of thesis is different from that of writing.

Later, students put forward their own academic confusions, and Mr. Wang patiently answered. For example, there was one question about whether there is a need for empirical research on students innovation papers. Mr. Wang thinks that empirical analysis is an important way to ensure the authenticity and reliability of the results, and empirical research should be chosen as far as possible.

This lecture helps the students of the academic elite program understand the whole process of academic research, which is of great significance to promote the academic research of our school students. ‘Jingwei academic elite training plan’ has been implemented since 2019, and has recruited two groups of students. The college will continue to promoting the implementation of the ‘Jingwei plan’ and constantly improve the students' scientific research spirit and scientific research level.
