page1 reading a paper¹

The first step is to investigate this paper it is worthwhile to read
1. See the article title and keywords
2. Read the summary
3. Read Conclusion
The second step to complete reading
1. Read the chart. This is indeed the work done. This does not need to spend too much time before actually entering the details would be worth a visit, which will slow down the reading speed.
2. Read the introduction, and there are Background Why do these jobs
3. Read and discuss the results of the work, which is the core of the article
4. Read experiments. This is the way they work. After only really interested and need to understand exactly operate in order to better understand the meaning and interpretation of the data is carried out, you can come to this. More importantly, where they can learn from their approach.
Some specific practices
1. Take notes on paper, so you will not need to repeatedly read the entire article. These notes will come in handy next week. In reading through the paper it is written notes, when writing a paper will save a lot of time, you can identify which paper is the need to re-read.
2. A good memory as bad written, of things done recording and consolidation is essential.

page 2 how to writing a paper²

One of the biggest problems writing research papers is to suppress the desire to delay and postpone the start.

Looking back at your notes and update your literature search, which is very important to complete before starting to write the second paper
Determine who your audience is, to determine the genre of the article
- What type of, Research review. Tutorial
- Which cast journals, targeted
- The audience for undergraduates, researchers, but it is always reviewers.
Create a first draft of the creative part of the work, to do is to resist the temptation to correct errors, writing job at the moment is complete. The second phase of the work is to edit the first phase, which is the critical analysis of the thinking part of the work. Before you finish work for the first part of the sentence is corrected to adjust for some, but it does not matter where the content will not appear in the paper, it is a waste of time. So I respected the following practices:
- Just get started don’t procrastinate
- creat an outline (create profile) to create a profile by listing all the graphics and tables. Placing them in the display order, as they may appear in the results and discussion. Always start from the outline. If you must stop, it can be read easily in the future. You have the data, so this part is easy.
- outline very easy to do, so the writing process is fairly interesting. Write an essay in mind, you have the data, charts, in the existing data in the database according to some logical order, similar to what you can arrange them into a dialogue, which became the outline of the paper chart .
- Do not write the introduction at this time, the introduction is the most difficult to write. Do not start there, otherwise it is a waste of time, and your urge delay will appear again.
- Writing papers easiest part is to write experimental part, this is your most familiar part. After completing the test, you know the process. Write down the experiment and continue to write the easiest part forward.
- Now, according to the outline (diagrams, tables) to prepare and discuss the results. This is more difficult than writing the experimental section, but must start at the moment.
- Writing really hard part begins - a rigorous critical editing. The key is to convert it into a coherent clear and concise language, and make sure what you write is correct
- The last part is a result clean, my personal favorite methods are summarized as follows:
- Now, you can start writing introduction, there are two important content. The first is to do what is the purpose of this research is? The second is that you have to collect the relevant background and place it in the introduction, you need to let the reader enough background to understand what you are doing
- Write references, precautions need to be reminded here of some of the notes. Flag when writing the first draft of what needs to reference, but do not need to stop the current work of collecting literature reference, he would interrupt the entire workflow. When the manuscript before release, you need to get the exact reference for readers to find the real information.
