First, consult the literature.
We can search for documents in a certain research field. Search objects include monographs, academic journals, academic reports, statistical reports, news articles, etc. You can consult paper documents in the library, and you can also search for digital content with the help of the Internet or database.
The scope of literature retrieval should be continuously reduced. First, search the fields of interest, determine the preliminary topics, and then enter a more specific and professional literature search process. On this basis, the research questions are further refined.
Secondly, choose the literature.
The basic method is to choose the breadth in the early stage and the depth in the later stage. First, collect relevant documents, and then select the quality. This paper starts with the heavyweight journals in this field in recent years, and then pushes forward according to their "bibliography". When choosing, read the title and abstract of each paper first. The selection can be based on the publication time, the authority of academic journals, the authority of authors and so on.
Finally, read the literature.
Academic literature has a relatively fixed structure. Pay attention to these links when reading: 1. What is the research framework, concepts, variables and theoretical background? Second, what research methods have been adopted? Third, what research conclusions have been drawn? Fourth, what is my own critical analysis?
Remember to take notes! Otherwise, the academic god will forget it.
Using the following methods, I have improved the speed of reading literature now, and I am less disgusted with English literature. Instead, I got a lot of inspiration and inspiration from it, lamenting how the author came up with such a good method. ?
There are many ways to learn, and everyone has different habits of reading literature. I am still practicing.
1, title, title is the title information of the article, which is the main line of the article. ?
2. Abstract, including some background, problems, keywords, methods and results of the article. Here you can see whether the article is related to the topic you care about, and you can basically determine whether it is necessary to continue reading. ?
3. The second and third level titles, pictures and charts, and browsing articles are mainly composed. Let's not talk about the formula derivation in the article. The introduction and conclusion of the article will be more detailed, and a better article will tell you what each chapter is about and how they are related. ?
After reading the above part, you can almost understand what the article is about. If necessary, read the full text again, and then sort out the formula, implementation process and result analysis in the article. ?
5. Create folders, take notes and build indexes.
