In the tendency to be close to originality, legal research (and not only the legal one) should be personalized, i.e. should reflect real valences of knowledge, social and professional experience, individual approaches and even empathy and emotion, given the creative nature of the research. Appropriate methods of knowing used in the process of investigation (the argumentative and the qualitative approach being specific for legal sciences), a healthy, proactive and solid attitude towards the activity of research, open mindedness, accompanied by permanent communication and mutual aid may become allies for young researchers involved in doctoral studies. At the same time, a solid support through state programs and strategies is also needed.
