# LAMDA-NeSy/Research-Starter-Kit > A guide to the basics of doing research and writing papers for students new to a research group: how to find and read papers, come up with ideas, present, and prepare publications. - Magnitude: 3.0 out of 10 — Steady - Stars: 9,546 total · +128 stars measured 2026-11-02, 00:11–23:05 UTC - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Learning & lists · Created: 2026-08-29 · Last push: 2026-09-01 - GitHub: https://github.com/LAMDA-NeSy/Research-Starter-Kit · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/LAMDA-NeSy/Research-Starter-Kit ## Useful for - Learn how to find and read research papers in your field - Draft the structure of a first paper: Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Experiments - Organize regular meetings with an advisor and keep research notes ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 00:11–23:05: 9418 → 9546 stars (+128). This is the change over that interval. - Over the last two days the pace is 1.7× that of the previous week and a half. - Top new repositories in the last 4 months: #73. ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. - Hardly anyone watches for updates: 11 watchers for 9,546 stars. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 349 - Issues and pull requests: 5 - Watchers: 11 - Average over the last week: 90 per day - Usual pace: 196 per day - Stars in the last hour (measured): 0 ## Stars per day, last 30 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-04 … 2026-11-02: 767, 396, 370, 320, 304, 271, 255, 242, 224, 170, 278, 670, 250, 191, 179, 177, 168, 159, 134, 109, 111, 93, 86, 85, 69, 50, 47, 42, 206, 128 ## Magnitude by day, last 14 days 10-20 2.9, 10-21 2.7, 10-22 2.7, 10-23 2.7, 10-24 2.6, 10-25 2.6, 10-26 2.4, 10-27 2.4, 10-28 2.4, 10-29 2.3, 10-30 2.0, 10-31 2.0, 11-01 2.5, 11-02 3.1 ## Spotted in now - Top new repositories in the last 4 months: #73 ## More in this category 1. **patchy631/ai-engineering-hub** — 7.6 · Breakout · Learning & lists · Jupyter Notebook · +737 stars measured 2026-11-02, 00:07–23:02 UTC A collection of 90+ tutorial projects on LLMs, RAG and AI agents, ranging from simple OCR apps to production systems with MCP and multi-agent workflows.

Full card: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/DeanChensj/jiangshan-map.md --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself. Data as of 2026-11-02 23:16 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
