<wrap em>Three fundamental rules in Japan</wrap> (according to an interview on Prof. Masashi Haneda)

  * ルールを守る / Follow the rules.
  * 人に迷惑をかけない / Avoid to trouble others.
  * 空気を読む (KY) / Read between the lines (Direct translation: Read the atmosphere).

  * **Non-speakers**  arrive 5 minutes before. You can help the speakers in preparation.
  * Gonna to be **late**? Send an email to ML before the seminar. If you are going to be **absent**, please inform Prof. Zhao at least one day before.

==== How to research ====

  * [[:public:howto|How to start]]
  * (**Must**) Find the literature from high-quality databases Web of Science and SCOPUS (Google scholar is considered a low-quality database). See [[https://www.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/erdb/13505|https://www.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/erdb/13505]] for how to access those paid service.
  * (**Must**) Use a reference management software instead of manual management. If you don't know which one is the best, try [[https://www.zotero.org/|Zotero]].
  * How to write business email（in Japanese）[[https://tech.nikkeibp.co.jp/atcl/nxt/column/18/00667/032800002/|https://tech.nikkeibp.co.jp/atcl/nxt/column/18/00667/032800002/]]
  * How to write a research paper: [[https://aw.gsais.kyoto-u.ac.jp/research/template-of-a-research-paper|https://aw.gsais.kyoto-u.ac.jp/research/template-of-a-research-paper]]
  * How to do research (in Chinese） [[https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/85pGxXidvCDXgM9_S73WYQ|https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/85pGxXidvCDXgM9_S73WYQ]]
  * 美国教授写给被开除的中国学生的信（中文, Chinese） [[https://m.jjl.cn/case/218000.html|https://m.jjl.cn/case/218000.html]]
  * Use latex instead of Word for professional writing. You can [[https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Learn_LaTeX_in_30_minutes|learn latex in 30 minutes]] and/or use [[https://www.overleaf.com/learn|Overleaf]].
  * Use Linux instead of Windows/Mac OS for professional works. I personally like [[https://linuxmint.com/|Linux Mint]] (MATE edition) but of course other distributions or editions are also OK. You may consider to use dual boot (Linux + Windows/Mac OS) for better experience.
