These are common questions when conducting research, especially during the postgraduate years. We may be interested in a research topic but knowing how to read research papers quickly and identifying a research gap is different. As researchers, we need to do extensive reading to know what has been done before or where other scholars have left a gap for us to continue in their footsteps and fill those gaps in knowledge.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/read-research-papers-quickly\/#Are_reading_and_comprehension_the_same_when_it_comes_to_research_articles_Not_necessarily\" >Are reading and comprehension the same when it comes to research articles?

Not necessarily.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Learning how to read research papers quickly is not just about your reading speed, it is about how efficient your reading is. To read a scientific paper efficiently means maximum productivity without wasted effort. To this end, I would like to offer some tips for reading scientific articles that helped me get through my PhD and postdoctoral years (and they still apply today):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To understand how to read research papers efficiently, go to the basics. <strong>Determine the relevance of the article<\/strong>; start with the Abstract, then jump straight to the Conclusions. Reading articles can be time-consuming but if the aims and implications are clear, then you know if an article is worth the read. This tip works because some articles may be very interesting, but the key implications are sometimes not clearly highlighted. Hence by reading the Abstract and Conclusions, we can avoid spending a lot of time struggling to get the main message.<\/li>\n<li>Try not to read every scientific article that has covered your topic of interest.\u00a0<strong>Filter your literature search<\/strong>\u00a0by prioritizing the most cited papers within your field and subfield (because it often provides those first insights) and the most recent studies. Let me put this into context\u2013\u2013 knowing that evapotranspiration increases with temperature does not need ten citations; however, the effect of some microorganisms on the gut microbiota will depend on the circumstances, hence the details are important and the more we know what can affect our topic, the more we can understand the responses observed.<\/li>\n<li>Sieving through the available literature in your field is an effort-intensive process, so\u00a0<strong>focus on reading research articles that have high citations<\/strong>. This works because these papers may likely have been published in high-ranking journals, and also because they have great searchability, which means they have high relevance to your topic.<\/li>\n<li>Try to\u00a0<strong>avoid reading older articles<\/strong>\u00a0because these references may often become irrelevant and outdated with rapid advances in technology. However, under exceptional circumstances (e.g., seminal work) you can simply find the original study and then perhaps use a newer reference where some practical modifications have been made \u2013\u2013 if these are applicable to your study. Established methods or procedures don\u2019t change much unless new equipment becomes available, but it\u2019s critical to stay updated on the latest developments in our field.<\/li>\n<li>Keywords can help to find important information but also in reading research articles. You may still find some articles that are difficult to get through because of the wordiness or the unnecessary heavy language. For these, use the Abstract and Conclusion to highlight the key findings, and then delve into the detail where necessary.\u00a0<strong>Using keywords to scan for key passages within the article\u00a0<\/strong>can also help you save some time and ensure you read and comprehend the article more effectively.<\/li>\n<li>If you are starting your PhD and wondering how to read papers efficiently, be sure to\u00a0<strong>set up notifications for when content related to your specific topic becomes available<\/strong>. While you can search through available literature, setting up publication alerts helps ensure you read relevant literature faster and can stay on top of new developments while you conduct your research.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1876 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sample-1-1024x197.png\" alt=\"Read research papers quickly and efficiently\" width=\"640\" height=\"123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sample-1-1024x197.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sample-1-300x58.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sample-1-768x147.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sample-1-1536x295.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sample-1-2048x393.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As scientists, reading scientific papers is not just needed during your degree years but all through your career.
