台湾清华彭明辉教授的研究生手册(简体完全版)

硕士毕业生和大学毕业生最大的差别，就是：学士只学习过吸收系统知识的能力（也就是读别人整理、组织好的知识，典型的就是课本）；但硕士则学习过自己从无组织的知识中检索、筛选、组织知识的能力。

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

DON'T read in order as the paper is printed

2 phases:

• Survey the Article
  to see if it is really worthy investing a lot of time in.
  • 看：title, key words, abstraction, conclusions
  • Stop: 如果发现 unworthy，立刻停止
• Read the Article
  • look at the tables and figures
  • read the introduction
  • read the results and discussion (heart part)
  • if the paper is really relevant, detailed read the experiences.
• TAKE NOTES
  • beneficial, save time
  • DON'T write on your PDF, because you can't collect those notes easily.
  • TAKE a bunch of index cards. 有条理的组织起来

如何有效阅读文献

• 知道学术论文的构造 AIMRD: Abstract Introduction Method Results Discussion

• 先进行一遍略读，然后对重点部分做精读

• 第一遍略读 三五分钟

  • 剖析paper标题，key words
  • 探究作者内心真实想法，提出问题并解决问题。
  • introduction，阅读的时候关注几个关键字:However(转折), Objective(目标), Hypothesis(假设)。去找创新点和假设/问题等
  • 先略过method的细节，关注图表及其标题，对研究方法有所了解
  • Results：关注结构，就是二级标题，就能知道作者是通过几个方面来报道研究结果的
  • Conclusion部分

• 第二遍细读

  • 摘要 详细了解研究目的/研究方法/重要数据/结论，验证自己粗读时候的一些猜测。详细阅读。
  • Introduction。段落大意
  • Method。带着问题去读，要有重点寻找的内容。
  • Result。善于找重点，研究图表。
  • Discussion。主要关注的是discrepancy（不符，矛盾）和Limitation

• 第三遍
  对重点的部分仔细研读。
