Choose the first rule carefully. Reading a paper in a certain field, the first one is very important. You can ask successful people, such as your mentor, brother and sister. It is best to use the recent survey papers of famous artists. In this way, we can go into this field from point to point. The article will give you an overall understanding of the whole direction, and the rich reference materials at the back of the article are also your guide to the next reading. There is also a comprehensive article to read first. If English is not good, you'd better read Chinese first, so that you can understand the concept. Think more. Some people regard papers as novels and TV plays, and I think there is no problem from the perspective of cultivating interest. But reading novels and TV plays only needs input, not output, and we read papers not for reading, but for innovation and creating new values, so start your brain and think hard. In this sense, it's a bit like playing video games: watching other people's gameplay, we should develop some new gameplay and gameplay. But how do you make yourself think? The best way is to read with questions. Take notes. Be sure to take notes when reading. There are two kinds of notes. One is the notes made during reading, and I usually write them in the blank beside the paper. These are mainly the sparks from generate when I read the paper. They are fleeting, so I have to write them down. The other is the notes after reading, which can not only deepen the impression, but also reorganize your own ideas as a whole. Now every time I finish reading a paper, I will record the reasons why I read this article, the main content, and my own thoughts. Learn to classify from quantitative change to qualitative change. Classify every article you read. Translation. This is a somewhat controversial method. At least my English is not so good. I will translate some key parts of excellent papers into Chinese, and I will have a new understanding of three kinds of reading in the process of translation. For different articles, we should have different reading methods. The first kind of reading only looks at the abstract to decide whether it is worth reading; The second reading relies on the introduction, related work and conclusion to understand the main content and innovation of this paper; The third kind of reading is intensive reading. Insist. If you really want to devote yourself to the academic road, you must be patient and get into the habit of reading papers all the year round.
