Added timestamps + some revisions from @Akhila's comment: 1. Title - pull out your keywords (1:11) 2. Abstract - results + methods (1:33) 3. Intro - first and LAST paragraph of Intro (2:18) 4. Results - scroll through subsection headings of the Results (3:10) 5. Conclusion - quick summary of what this paper found (3:51) --- At this point you don't need to do anything else UNLESS you want to go more in depth --- 6. Results - key results/figures (4:28) 7. Limitations (5:04) 8. References - pull out useful ones (5:16)

My university (or more accurately, a number of people in the chair groups I worked under for my theses) did touch upon this. Abstract first then intro, then results (and mainly figures, after all a picture says more than a thousand words, right?). But never in this detail. Only the 1rst & last paragraph of the intro and just the results subsection titles, conclusion and only after that actually deciding whether to continue reading cuts away so much reading time... Thanks Dr Yonis, for sharing this approach of going through a pile of scientific papers in an efficient manner. 🙏☺️ I always waste way to much time with the details 😩 (stupid curiosity! 😐) So I reckon this will come in useful for sure! 😁

[@ramengirl983]

I do this as a reviewer of over 40 articles, and counting. Many papers are quickly filtered for significance this way. I encourage people to get Mendeley (it’s free) to annotate the papers that they read. It is extremely useful to build content and references when writing your own paper.

[@simi23]

thank you for the recommendation !!

[@marciewallace478]

I love that you went through an actual article as an example to show what you're talking about. I've heard so many similar tips from a hundred different sources in theory but I struggled with putting them into practice, and it's really helpful to see it applied to a real example. Thank you!

[@dragonflycn]

Thanks so much for this Amina! I used to think that I was cheating or being lazy by not reading the papers in full, but it really is about efficiency. There's no need to read all the specific details unless they're important to you and your goals. Your videos are always amazing and helpful so thank you very much.

[@pancakes1427]

Thank you for this, as Dr Amina didn't mention that Notability is only available on the App store ie for Apple products only! I'm wondering though why my uni never mentioned Mendeley although it has an institutional subscription 🤔

[@brunocoelho6968]

Dr Amina Yonis. Thank you very much for your tips. I started recently my PhD and i got overwhelmed with the ammount of stuff i have to read. Sometimes when i try to read a paper, i get so lazy that i stop reading or i read without paying any attention to it. I got depressed and anxious because of that. With your method i think i will make through. I will take two days off and start over. Thank you again!

This was a very helpful and relevant video. I am just starting my doctoral studies and have been researching how to read the articles effectively and efficiently. This is my 3rd video and it aligns largely with the others. There are a few slight differences in order, but I get it and think this will help me a lot. Thanks to those who did time stamps as well.

[@jason2b29]

What I struggled is how to take notes from the article and how to integrate and organize those notes and then how to use those notes to write the essay. Can you make a video? Thank you so much

[@jesshu6529]

What's interesting about this video is that not only does it tell you how to read through a paper, but also gives some background on how to write one. (Which I will surely use for my assignment that I'm procrastinating on, but I'm procrastinating "productively", or so I tell myself)

[@Eternal-Student]

Can’t thank you enough Amina. I’ve just started a Masters online and we’ve been asked to do this, but we were not given any help or support in how to read the articles. Thank you ❤

[@SalaheddineNaous]

I usually use this technique and read everything IF the paper is no more than 20 pages. It actually always depends on how much details you need from the topic or theory you are trying to study.

Abstract - i'm interested in or it is something that you're not interested in -first paragraph: background +Why is the paper written, what is the gap in LR and gap in research that try to fill. -methods -results + discussion and conclusion(1:33) 3. Intro - first and LAST paragraph of Intro (2:18) - bit of a background + what the hypothesis is and what the research aims are 4. Results - scroll through subsection headings of the Results (3:10) 5. Conclusion - quick summary of what this paper found (3:51) - How their paper fits into the literature /how their paper fits into the research space - their unique results and that's all you really need to know at this point 6. Results - key results/figures (4:28) 7. Limitations (5:04) what the flaws were or what some barriers and challenges were that were faced by that particular study 8. References - pull out useful ones (5:16) highlight a couple of other references that may be cited in this particular paper that i think are interesting and that could be useful for my own study

This is going to save my life when I do my disso, one of the main reasons I lack additional sources is because it takes so LONG to read them so I just end up not bothering with some altogether. This makes so much sense and now that I've learnt of it I can see how it will definitely improve my academic reading. Another reason I end up skipping texts altogether is because they're written so complex it makes me question if I even know how to read anymore. Other than searching the complex words up, do you have any tips on this?

How to read research papers quickly: 1. Look at the title & pick some key words 2. Read the Abstract 3. Consider the Introduction The first paragraph of intro gives you the general background & last paragraph of the introduction talks about the intention, why the papaer is being writen, what the research aims are, hypothesis, research aims, summary of methods. It basically tells you what is yet to come in the paper. 4. Literature review 5. Limitations 6. Key results 7. Conclusion for the findings 8. Finally look out for key references.

Start by looking at the paper's title to identify keywords. Examine the abstract for background, methods, results, and conclusion. Read the first and last paragraphs of the introduction to understand the paper's context and hypothesis. Review subsection headings in the results section for key findings. Check the conclusion for a summary of the paper's main points. Optionally, explore the results in more depth, focusing on significant data. Investigate the limitations section to understand the study's challenges. Identify and note interesting references cited in the paper.

[@smasoudshe5402]
