The method of reading literature compiled by myself is suitable for beginners with zero foundation, and 100% know how to read literature after reading
Table of contents
foreword
Reading literature is one of the essential stages of doing scientific research, but many times we only know to read literature, but do not know how to read literature, which causes us to waste time and energy in reading with low efficiency. About reading literature Everyone's method is different. The following is a methodology that suits me based on various previous experiences and my own.
1. Literature Framework
1. Summary
The core part of the article briefly summarizes all the content covered in this paper, including the research background, the main purpose of the paper, the main experimental phenomena and conclusions, the significance and corresponding value of the paper.
2. Preface
Explain the main background of the research, supplement relevant concepts and knowledge, explain the shortcomings of existing research, and draw out the innovation and purpose of this paper on the basis of the above.
Through the preface, you can recognize the overall structural framework of the paper.
3. Materials and methods
Including experimental materials, experimental procedures, analysis methods, find the operation guide that can be applied to subsequent experiments.
4. Results and Discussion
Explanation of experimental phenomena, comparison with other literature, shortcomings and prospects
By explaining the internal mechanism through the phenomenon, it is helpful to think about whether this part of the content can be used in future research.
By observing the deficiencies and prospects described by the author, you can think about whether you can make a corresponding continuation on the basis of this article and combine it with your own topic content.
5 Conclusion
In the summary of the whole article, the author summarizes the main experimental phenomena and related mechanisms based on the results and discussions.
2. Use tools
1. Tools
Zotero/Zhiyun Document Translation/Browser/Search Bird
2. Download documents
Chinese: HowNet Wanfang Data (you can find high-quality HowNet doctoral dissertations according to the degree of citation)

3. Reading skills
Why read literature? Read with a purpose, understand the background knowledge of the subject, grasp the research direction of the subject, learn the design ideas of the subject, and improve writing skills
Read an article:
{Phase 1}: Understanding the Domain
{Second Stage}: Intensively read the conclusion of the abstract to discover the research method; read the data and method to establish your own method system; learn the logic of the conclusion
{Third stage}: imitate the way of writing, learn writing skills
Note: The notes are for yourself, and the outline is to create memory points for easy recall
Two sets of reading frames:
1. Article information/background, purpose and conclusion/results and discussion/what is good about the article/self-thought 125
2. Collect evidence to describe the current situation, and use this as a reference to find a description method for your own research goals. /Collect the problems reflected in the status quo part of the literature, see how these problems are proved by the conclusions, and lay a foundation for your thesis. /Collect the solutions to problems in the papers and literature, and combine the needs of your own papers to pick, reconstruct, and optimize these methods. That is what we call, standing on the shoulders of "giants" to see the world.
After reading an article, in addition to the outline notes in the article, construct a system framework note as above, and then briefly generate an entry note, briefly summarize the article and its features, as well as its usefulness to yourself, and compare it sort.
Summarize
The above is a simple method of reading literature, and the method also needs to be constantly updated and iterated. You are welcome to leave your own reading methods.
