In December 2019, China’s research travel market plummeted as a result of the novel coronavirus epidemic. In the context of a depressed research market in the Information Age, the concept of “Internet + research” emerged. First, according to symbiosis theory, the symbiotic units of smart research travel are determined. Then, based on a structural design of smart research travel data system, key technologies in big data, cloud computing, and Internet of Things are described in detail. Finally, based on the traditional browser/server architecture model of computers, a smart research travel system architecture suitable for the epidemic situation is constructed. The purpose of this study is to build a new ecology of research travel, optimize resource allocation, and promote the healthy, stable, and sustainable development of research travel in the country.
