Not a direct answer, but your question reminded me of "The Craft of Research" which is a fantastic book. It might be something you'd like to read through. I think I had second edition - it now runs to forth. You could pick up a second-hand, early edition inexpensively.
If reading journals isn't sparking ideas for you, I'd perhaps consider reading something more mainstream and consumer grade. Perhaps BBC news, CES reports, things like that. Find a problem that's being reported, and that no one is solving. Find a problem that is being solved, and propose an alternative solution, or refine a solution that exists.
Good luck!
For how to think about and approach research, you really can't go wrong with The Craft of Research by W. Booth & colleagues. For anything beyond that, such as methodological considerations for particular studies and perspectives within your own field, consider speaking with your professor(s) and taking one or more research methods courses within your department. It's hard to give any further recommendations without information about where you are and what you want to do.
I had a yearlong seminar in undergrad for thesis writing and we used this book, [The Craft of Research](The Craft of Research, Fourth Edition (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing) https://www.amazon.com/dp/022623973X/).
It was pretty helpful.
