I just have started my master studies and i do not know how to start, my supervisor said to me i have to come with new idea, but i do not know how to do so.
To generate a "new" idea, you must first gain a sufficient level of knowledge about the field in general, or perhaps also what has been done previously in the laboratory where you are working. I would recommend you to ask for some initial reading (papers, review articles, or book chapters) related to your project to get started!
Hi dear Ibrahim welcome to master's degree, starting a master's program can be overwhelming, especially if you are unsure about how to come up with a new research idea. Here are a few tips that might help you:
Start by reading widely: To come up with a new research idea, you need to have a good understanding of the field you are studying. Begin by reading widely to gain knowledge about your field of study.
Identify a research gap: Once you have read widely, look for gaps in the existing research. These gaps could be areas that have not been explored yet, or problems that have not been fully addressed.
Think critically: Try to approach the subject from a different angle or perspective, challenge the existing theories or methods, and think creatively.
Brainstorm: Once you have identified a potential research gap, brainstorm with your supervisor and colleagues. Share your ideas with them and seek their feedback.
Research proposal: Write a research proposal that outlines your research question, methodology, and expected outcomes. This will help you to clarify your ideas and get feedback from your supervisor.
Remember that coming up with a new research idea takes time and effort. Do not be afraid to ask for help or guidance from your supervisor, colleagues, or even other experts in the field. Good luck with your studies!
Concentrate on a particular class of compounds like quinoline, Isoquinoline, imidazole, benzimidazole, etc with their particular therapeutic efficiency like anti-malaria, anti-cancer, etc and than further think about to make modification in their pharmacophore to develop a new compound.
