My View: Qualities of a Good Researcher

This is a question I often ask myself, and one which has been pondered over. I firmly believe that the study we conduct must be the kind of research that interests us and piques our curiosity. We might have the necessary intelligence. However, without curiosity and interest, we are not driven to go further to discover more. Commitment also plays a major role. Research is a challenging job. The working hours can be long and deadlines can be tight. In terms of job execution, researchers must systematically plan their work. It may sound simple, but it took me a long time to understand how to prepare for the overall scope of research activities so that I could revalidate my work within the allotted period. The last is the transmission of information. We may be talking to different audiences. To ensure that people can understand our results and what the results mean to them, excellent written and verbal communication is necessary.
