The first step is to browse quickly to get an overview of the full text. You can also decide whether you need to see it. This process takes about 5 to 10 minutes and includes the following steps:

1. Read the title, abstract and introduction carefully.

2. Read the titles of chapters and sub-chapters, but ignore everything else.

3. The conclusion of reading

4. Browse the references to make sure you have read them.

Objective: The evaluation standard of reading effect should be able to answer the following five questions:

1. Category: What paper is this?

2. Paper background: Which other papers are related to?

3. Correctness: Does the hypothesis hold?

4. Contribution: What is the main contribution of the paper?

5. Clarity: Is the paper well written?

Decision: decide whether to continue reading (whether interested, whether the field is relevant, whether the paper is valuable)

second time

In the second stage, we should read the paper more carefully, but ignore details such as the argumentation process. When you are reading, you need to write down the main points or make comments in the blank. It will take about an hour this time.

1. Read the charts and other illustrations in the newspaper carefully. Please pay special attention to this chart. Is the coordinate axis marked correctly? Is there an error bar showing the results, so is the conclusion statistically significant? Common mistakes like this will distinguish sloppy and shoddy work from truly excellent work.

2. Remember to mark the relevant unread references for further reading (this is a good way to understand the background of the paper).

Goal: You can master the content of the paper. You should be able to summarize the main ideas of the paper and provide strong evidence to others.

If you still can't understand this paper, consider the following points:

1. Themes are new and unfamiliar terms and abbreviations to you.

The author may have used proof or experimental techniques that you don't understand, so most of the contents of the paper are incomprehensible.

The above is part of the sharing of paper reading skills, because the number of words is limited, so we will share it in the next article.
