On the orientation of scientific research at local colleges

In addition to possessing the common characteristics of scientific research of all the universities, the scientific research of local colleges also characterized by the fact that its content is localized, that its objectives are pragmatic, that it is isolated from the outside, that the research forces are not united but dispersed, and that its subjects are short-termed. These characteristics are the starting point for us to study its orientation. Local colleges should start from the demands of local economic and social development, from the development of local historical and cultural heritages and natural resources, from the intersection of different disciplines, and from the dominant scientific subjects to decide the orientation of scientific research, Only by doing so can they from their own characteristics and advantages and promote their scientific research competitiveness.
