How to Read a Paper Efficiently (By Prof. Pete Carr)

In this video, Prof. Pete Carr (faculty member at the University of Minnesota, Department of Chemistry) shares an algorithm to read a scientific paper more efficiently.
One might start reading the paper in the order in which it is written, for example, title, abstract, introduction, etc., however, there is a more efficient method to extract the most information from the article, in the least amount of time.

[@abdulghaffarmallah1777]

Key Notes:
1. Don't read article from beginning to end
2. Surveying the article
* Read title and keywords
* Read abstracts and conclusions
3. Phase II
* Look at table and figures including captions
* Read introduction
* Read results and discussions
* Read the experimental for more details
* Write some notes to avoid rereading

cf6:15: Make a note about the paper. Try out "Polar Bookshelf".

[@humeraashraf2568]

I think here all sections of the paper are included so shortly we need to read whole paper.

Structure of a Jounal Article
1 title
2 keywords
4 introduction
5 experimrntal
6 results and disscussion
tables ,figures
7 summary/conclusion
8 reference
how to "survey" the article
***feel free to stop reding the article at any point
***write some notes so you don't have to reread the article again
1 read the title anf keywoeds (these are probaly what you to look at the apper)
2 read abstract
3 read conclusion
4 look at the tables & figures(including acptions)
This is really what was done in the work. This does not take much time so it is worth looking at before really getting into the details which will slow down the reading.
5 Read the introduction.
This is the background needed and why the studywas done.
6 Read the results and discussion.
This is the heart of the paper.
7 Read the experimental.
This is how they did the work. You only get to this point ifyou are really interested and need to understand exactlywhat was done to better understand the meaning of the dataand its interpretation.

My master program supervisor educated me regarding the articles reading and ensure me which portion I have to read carefully includes Abstract, last paragraph of introduction and directly jump to conclusions and discussion. I am following this trick since long time and I found good understanding of articles.
