Reading research papers effectively
Shady Attia
Professor in Sustainable Architecture and Building Technology at Université de Liège
The primary reason for reading a scientific paper is that the information contained within is current and peer-reviewed. Textbooks often contain information that was once current, but now may be outdated. Scholarly scientific papers are written so the reader can replicate the research project or technical methodological procedure under discussion.
By default, we think that researchers are experienced readers. However, reading and understanding a scientific paper remains challenging for many postgraduates and researchers. Researchers spend a great deal of time reading research papers.
Learning to efficiently read a paper is a critical but rarely taught skill. Therefore, the aim of this video is to outline a logical and orderly approach to reading a scientific paper. By breaking down the task into smaller, step-by-step components, one should be able to attain the skills to read a scientific article with ease.
