You’re not just some guy with a UA-cam channel… you are a scholar-practitioner! Your viewpoints are immediately relevant, and greatly appreciated. Thank you!
For reading research papers, the most helpful thing I was *ever* recommended was the "three-pass approach" in a 2 page paper called "How to Read a Paper" by S. Keshav (2013). A brilliant friend and scholar suggested it, and I always point people to it when starting off reading scholarly work. Now, this video will be another thing I point people towards. 👍
Artem's examples of the different motivations are helpful for showing that the reading order need not be consistent and can be adjusted based on the specific context. Keshav's approach has a slightly different order than Artem's, but the spirit of the 1st pass is the same.
Something that Keshav suggests is that at "the end of the first pass, you should be able to answer the _five Cs_ :
1. _Category_ : What type of paper is this? A measurement paper? An analysis of an existing system? A description of a research prototype?
2. _Context_ : Which other papers is it related to? Which theoretical bases were used to analyze the problem?
3. _Correctness_ : Do the assumptions appear to be valid?
4. _Contributions_ : What are the paper's main contributions?
5. _Clarity_ : Is the paper well written?"
Keshav uses this info to decide if reading further is warranted or not, and then provides some advice for writing papers. Of course, being flexible with Keshav's (or Artem's) heuristic is probably best. In any case, both Keshav's paper and Artem's video deserve to become Anki cards and core Zettels in a Zettelkasten Obsidian vault :)
Happy reading! 📖🐰🕳
I would love to see a video on your method for processing a research paper (using the second brain in Obsidian). Please include how to integrate references with zotero!
Artem, you are one of the most underrated channels out here.Keep up the good work!
And of course I would be delighted to watch a video on your postprocessing procedures.
this might be the most useful video I've seen in months. As a 3rd year undergrad student, I've been struggling with exactly this.
I will have to prepare a thesis this year, thank you for the tips. I'm definitely interested in the further processing video :)
I originally came to the channel for the research on the use of the Zettelkasten method but I have returned for the exceptional content. Thank you sincerely for sharing.
Thank you for the structure on how to approach research papers.
Just discovered your channel. I am an aspiring researcher myself and your attitude towards research is very refreshing.
I'd like to see your processing methods after reading books/papers. Your videos are very concise & informative. Great stuff!
Your info is incredibly helpful and the way you present it is easy to digest. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Man pls, keep this channel going....don't give up, you're doing some excellent work here
I am super impressed with the consistently high quality of your content. I always learn something new and useful in your videos. Thank you.
I enjoy your videos tremendously. I am always looking for good videos for my students, and this is one I am sure they will like! Thanks.
Wow, thank you so much!
Thank you for the video! My teacher made us do readings for the exam with academic papers that are really boring, this video is a lifesaver
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 📚 *How to approach reading a research article*
- Importance of approaching research papers differently from popular books or blog posts
- Reading the abstract to get the main gist of the paper
- Understanding the different parts of a research paper: introduction, methods, results, discussion, and references
05:00 📝 *Reading order and approach for research papers*
- Reading the abstract and skimming the discussion and conclusions to determine interest
- Skimming the main part to get a rough structure of the paper
- Reading sections of interest more thoroughly, paying attention to results and section introductions
08:59 🟡 *Importance of highlighting and post-processing*
- Using highlighting colors to categorize information (e.g., background, assumptions, results, methodology, interesting facts)
- Post-processing techniques such as creating mind maps, transferring ideas to a second brain, or creating flashcards
- Separating the process of reading a paper and processing the information for better comprehension

We students need more of this , how to do research. Appreciate your work!!
Great video! A post-processing video would certainly be helpful! I think many grad students are expected to have learned many of these techniques by osmosis, perhaps even as an undergrad, but the truth is that many students are just never exposed to a mentor willing to take the time to share their academic learning strategies. Fortunately, this video can stand in for that gap in mentorship to a large degree! Keep doing what you are doing.
This is so true! It’s always so odd to me that we’re surrounded by teachers and academics and so rarely do they teach us how to be successful and succeed in these types of areas.
Very beneficial, thank you ... need further video on post processing what we have read..
Great video. Concise, well edited, really elegant animations
I've always had some difficulty reading papers even when I feel it might be useful for what am looking for. I've definitely fall under the category of 'reading the paper as a book', so come upon this new method is really useful, I'll be sure to try it out. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks Artem, very insightful and helpful. Спасибо!
Talent and pattern.
You seem like another version of my own adventure, same sequence of research.
Soon you'll meet the other end. The chain of reactions. Emotions. Destiny
Your videos are amazing! I would like to see more videos like your "Neural Geometry" one which you explained a complicated paper in a Feynman style!
Hi! Thank you for your videos, you obviously put quite some effort in them and the result is of great quality!
I would love to see a video about actually processing the paper, like you said, reading and processing are different things! Thanks for the awesome insights 😊
i would love to see you break down how a research paper is read
Very well made video, technically and content wise
Thank you very much indeed from Egypt. Your channel is a GEM. I'm a Genetic Neurologist
definitely very clear key points, thanks :)
Yes please give more tips, it’ll help alot.
Great video!
Hrm. I recently graduated highschool but I’m quite good at computer science and had to consult a few papers for a research project I was working on with a local University. Your insights are very accurate and It’s mostly exactly what I taught myself the painful way, wish I had seen this earlier !
Yeah, I take it you optimised your research workflow? If yes, please share :D
@@007hansen fortunately I only had a few papers and a single youtube video to work with. There wasnt a whole lot of looking things up because of the lack of material so I didn’t have to filter any papers out from the beginning onwards. Workflow was pretty much figure out mathematical model > implement > figure out weaknesses > improve > implement mathematically > implement in code
There wasnt a whole lot of research involved other than what model to choose and even that I only really had that one option lol

Brother the future of technology may be highly interlinked with brain machine interfaces.
I would suggest you to generate content about this topic and expose people on to the subject and offer some recommendations and guidance.
It seems like we may need more people understanding this domain.
"Wait. What the fuck are they doing? No, that's not what I thought it was about. Shit." I feel this so much! Thank you for this! 😀👍
Спасибо большое, Артём ))
Great channel!
So, a paper is more like a collections of various kinds of bits of information, rather than a bit of information or a collection of very specific kinds of bits of information?
Can’t believe how instructive and helpful your videos are🎉🎉🎉🎉 I am in urgent need of these information, thank you so so much💓💓💓💓💓 🌈🌈🌈Wishing you all the best🫶🏻☀️💝
Thanks for the video. If you Could do the one on post-processing, that would be great.
what do you think about summarizing papers using logic? making it concise and clear what depends on what (content-addressable code)
Hands down. You are the God.
Can you tell me please, which books should i read for neuroscience... I'm a poor nd i can't join the universities for study..
i like the analogy at 8:16 with the map. you wouldnt read a map from left to right either
depends on the field, for bio papers run to the figures, for theoretical physics rabbit hole the derivations
I love how you use notion! I use it to summarize and process the information I have learned from the papers as well! It is such a great tool
hey :) still waiting for the processing video ;) i hope you can find the time to do it :)
Bruh i try to find this kind of tutorial then u came up.. 👍🏻
I used this video to understand his videos
Cool
Moar, конечно мы хотим больше про то, как и куда все это чтиво складывать. И как в этом складе потом что-то найти.
that was a good video, but it didn't clear the picture for me entirely. you see my problem is not that i don't know where to look at in a paper. my problem is that i'm just so not used to all these mathy descriptions. i'd love to have some sort of guide that translates certain math terms to how that would look like in some programming language like c++. for example sums could be loops where some variable gets added some other term on it each iteration. when i realized that these things are the same thing i was so mad, because sums look so weird. and i think maybe there are even more math things that i coudl already understand if someone finally showed me the code equivalent
6:28 - that's how I watch youtube videos ;P
Show your work Arthem! Please do not underestimate yourself. You even follow obsidian discord. PLZ. You are making videos about second brain %99 of people don't know what is it about.
I wish you a great luck and Allah (god) bless you sir!
Having information is not valuable itself. Producing something out of it is valuable. Soo keep sharing everything you learn, a lot of people will get interested. Please do not underestimate thousands of people. Even millions of subs might be nothing but 2-3 guys can change the world essentially.
Hi. Is there anyone who wants to be reading article partners? I aim to read at least one article for one day.
You sound... Irish?
"First of all there's [an] abstract." No, the first thing to look at is the title!!
Better would be: 'How to write papers effectively'. But the culture of modern literature is a hell hole that refuses to change (for now)
Are your voice and image generated by AI? I ask because your gestures and expressions seem almost too good. If you are a real person, then the quality of your presentations are a result of a great deal of practice. You must have given many, many hours to rehearsal.
Be me.
Read the abstract.
Ignore the rest.
Hope somebody else peer reviewed it.
Profit???
