How to read literature efficiently and how to read literature

1. Judge whether ** is worth reading.

Speculate on the general topic and content of this ** to determine if you are interested or needy.

2. Read the abstract.

The abstract will explain the basic content, methodological characteristics, and main contributions of **, which is a condensation of the entire ** content, which is very important.

3. Look at the conclusion.

Skip the preface, the methods of the experiment, etc., and look directly at the conclusions reached by the author, and if the conclusions are not very relevant to you, discard this article as well.

Second, read **.

1. Read charts and data.

Before looking at the details of your experiment, take a moment to look at the charts and data.

2. Read the introduction.

The function of the introduction is to introduce the background of the research, as well as the problem that the article wants to solve and its importance in this context.

3. Read the results and discuss.

The results and discussion are at the heart of the study and are worth spending most of your time reading.

4. Read the experiment.

This is the most obscure part of the **, so put it at the end. When this part needs to be read carefully to understand what exactly the author did and how to do it, the reading speed must be slower and take more time.

3. Take notes.

A good memory is better than a bad pen", and you need to take notes carefully after reading **. A good note can help you "steal" all the important content of a ****. In this way, next time, you only need to read your own reading summary, and you don't need to re-read **.

Question: One of my first-year master's students mentioned to me a problem: at present, the efficiency of reading professional literature is too low, especially for literature with computational process, and it takes longer to read a copy.

We must not be in a hurry, we must persevere. Only by persisting can it be possible to change from quantity to quality; (2) Only by reading more and understanding the content of the discipline can we reach a certain level. That said, a general look at the content will give you an idea of the level and new content of the article and what you can learn from it.

Therefore, there are no shortcuts, only continuous accumulation of knowledge and experience; (3) There are a lot of calculation processes in the article you read, if you are not too interested in this content, you can skip the calculation process and not read it. If you are interested in this content or must refer to it, you will need to make an effort to even consult the relevant literature and even contact the author to figure out all the details. (4) In the first year, graduate students must read literature comprehensively, master professional knowledge, and reach a certain level to lay the foundation for further scientific research.

Whether it is an undergraduate or a graduate student, if it involves a scientific research project or a scientific innovation project, you need to read a lot of literature to improve your knowledge in some aspects and understand the research progress and research value of the field at home and abroad. So, how do we read literature efficiently?

1. Identify the literature through abstracts

Under normal circumstances, ** literature is carried out through the title, but the content of the article is related to the content of your own research and you have to read the article to know. At this time, you can read the abstract of the literature first, because the abstract of the literature is the summary of the central idea of the literature, and it is also a summary of the conclusions of some parts of the literature.

2. Clarify the purpose of reading

If it's course-related reading, it's important to remember that reading is in the service of the subject matter. There may be more than one issue discussed in a single article, but our aim is to understand the part of the content that is relevant to the topic.

So before reading, remember to understand the topic of the lesson, or see if the teacher has any questions to think about. Also, think about it in relation to other literature, and it is best to consciously link these articles during the reading process. During the reading process, clarify the theme and extract the key content of the passage in combination with the theme.

If it is writing-related reading, you need to be clear before reading: what stage of writing you are in, and what you are reading to understand. For example, whether you are reading this article to expand your knowledge of a certain field or topic, or to learn about a certain concept or method.

Reading literature must be accompanied by questions, which is the first step to starting reading. At the same time, this step also determines the next way to choose the actual reading.

3. Choose a reading strategy based on your purpose

Save time and effort by reading selectively. After you know what you want to know, you can choose to do one round of scanning and two rounds of in-depth reading. After completing a round of scanning, you need to think about and evaluate the content of the article before deciding whether or which parts you need to read in depth.

Note: There must be a quiet environment for reading literature, in order to ensure the absolute concentration of thinking and the high operation of the brain, and to improve the efficiency of reading literature!

Regarding how to read literature efficiently, I have divided it into the following points, so let's take a look!

1. Understand the academic resources needed to access them**.

It is more important to know what types of academic resources are available and where they are hidden, and then how to obtain the academic resources you need. First of all, we need to know some large and comprehensive databases, so that we can use them in a targeted manner when searching for literature. For example, CNKI is us.

The most widely used database in practice is mainly used to search Chinese literature and.

Master's Degree**.

Secondly, the correct search method also helped us find our own well.

The need for literature provides great convenience. Here are a few commonly used search methods.

Comprehensiveness. Second, when searching with scholars as clues, it can be checked.

SCI, learn about a scholar who has made achievements in the field of expertise, and then find.

His recent publications. Third, it can also be searched by reference reviews. If there are reviews that are relevant or relevant to the topic you are working on, you can find those original studies based on the corresponding references**.

2. Learn to read and manage literature efficiently

Academic research is based on reading a lot of literature to understand the historical development and latest situation of a field, but according to the experience of the author and the students around me, it is easy to fall into an inefficient situation in literature reading. In order to improve the efficiency of literature retrieval and reading, it is necessary to summarize a set of scientific literature reading and management methods.

When reading literature, we must develop the habit of paying attention everywhere and making records, so as not to forget and repeat work. In addition, it is useful to organize and classify the literature according to certain criteria. For example, by classifying the literature from the perspective of a longitudinal timeline, it can be seen that the research results in this field in a certain historical period are suitable for the study of topics with long histories. From the perspective of research content, we can see which issues have been studied more and more sufficiently; It is also a common method to classify literature in its external form, such as **, monographs, etc.

On the basis of classification and arrangement, the fineness or extensive reading of the literature will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort. Information literacy ability is a necessary ability for master's students with research spirit, and we can only step into the door of scientific research if we can check and read literature. Master's students should understand the basic literature and cutting-edge literature of the major, master the necessary database information and correct retrieval methods, summarize the scientific literature reading and management methods, and study extensively and in-depth on this basis to improve the ability of literature retrieval and reading.

1. Find literature.

2. Read the literature with great value with precision and skim the general literature.

First of all, you need to understand what you need to get out of reading the literature.

1) The background framework of the study, the category of the study.

2) The problem that the article solves, the method and the need to solve it.

3) Possible problems and ideas for improvement.

Different parts of the document correspond to different content subjects, and it is not necessary to read from beginning to end.

3. Compare the literature of the same category.

After reading a large amount of literature, it is necessary to summarize the schools of research and compare the articles of the same category. Summarize what are the problems to be solved in this research direction, how are they solved, and what are the differences.

Literature records knowledge with historical value and research value in a certain carrier through certain methods and means, using certain meaning expression and recording system.

First of all, when we get a document, the first thing we need to look at is the title, keywords and abstract of the article, because just browsing these can basically help us to sift through and decide whether to continue reading the article.

Again, there are words in the literature that can be looked at** and data, and this is mainly intended to help us reduce the frequency of interruptions in the thinking process with reading.
