According to the authoritative professor's explanation, reading documents should follow a certain order: teaching materials, monographs, summary papers, research papers and technical documents. And combine your familiarity with the research field and content to judge which order to start first. Secondly, graduate students should take notes when reading the literature, list the opinions put forward by the author in the literature, and write down what they don't know. Only by doing the above two points can we read the literature quickly and get more enlightenment from it.

Being admitted to graduate school is a thing that will make many people feel happy. This not only means that our efforts have been rewarded, but also means that we are about to embark on a new journey and start a postgraduate career. However, graduate school is not an easy task, during which we still need to complete many tasks. Completing the scientific research task assigned by the tutor and completing the graduate thesis can not be separated from reading a large number of documents. So, if you are a research scientist, here are some skills to help you read the literature better.

First of all, we should read the literature in a certain order. If we are very unfamiliar with our chosen scientific research field, then I suggest reading from the textbook. Only in this way can we lay a good foundation for ourselves. And if you have a certain understanding of your own scientific research field, you can read the paper directly to help you save time better.

Secondly, we need to develop the habit of taking notes while reading, which I believe many people can do in their daily lives. Taking notes while reading can deepen our impression of the knowledge of reading, and we should also follow the skills when taking notes. After reading a textbook or a paper, we need to summarize the author's point of view and write down what surprises you. Of course, if you can think of something from other people's point of view, you can also write it down in your notes.
