Tips for skim reading PEER-REVIEW ARTICLES, from your friendly public health scientist
0. Types of peer-review articles:
Research articles: I have a hypothesis, I did my own research to reject or accept the hypothesis
(Systematic) reviews: I read a whole of bunch of existing articles and wrote a summary of their findings
Meta analysis: I took data from a whole bunch of exisiting research to reject or accept a hypothesis (more data=more participants=more likely to represent real life=closer to the truth)
Commentary/correspondence: I have a strong opinion on something, usually to call for more attention in a research area (always topical)
Case studies/series: I found something interesting that maybe significant to a larger group of people but I don’t have enough data to prove it, especially if it’s time sensitive
1. What am I looking for? (no, I don’t mean the topic)
Depending on the outcome of your need, you may be only focusing on either the Methods section, the Results section, or Discussion, or Conclusion. For example, are you looking for how to measure PTSD (methods) or what is the rate of PTSD in a community (results)
Introduction/background: what is the topic and what questions will this paper answer (based on existing literature)
Methods: how I did my research (the measurement tools, type statistical analysis, who I did my research on)
Results: What I found (percentages, rates, odd ratios, relative risks, confidence intervals, regressions, etc.)
Discussion: Explanation for what I’ve found and how it compares to existing research (more existing literature which may or may not support the results)
Conclusion: What direction is my research and what should the next step be (the gap in research, limitations in the research)
1a. Narrow your scope of research
Have a simple inclusion or exclusion criteria
Is there time frame to when the research has to be published by (e.g. 2000-2018)?
Is it about women only, men only, children under 5 only, excludes people with A and B?
Specific language only?
At least a certain sample size (e.g. must have 400 participants)?
controlled or not controlled environment (e.g. fieldwork or lab-based)?
Locations specific (e.g. countries, districts, continents, counties)?
2. Read the goddamn abstract
If it describes what you are looking for, download the pdf. This ensures what you are looking for is in the article so you don’t waste your time reading the whole damn thing. The abstract should describe everything in the first bulletpoint. DO NOT RELY ON TITLE
If the abstract doesn’t give you a taste of what you want, skip it, it’s probably not worth reading
2a. Skip the intro/background
If you know what your topic is, skip this section, it will not give you any new information. If you are unfamiliar with the topic, read 1 or 3 introductions and skip it for the rest of the articles
3. Control + F
Sometimes abstracts can be deceiving, if you have key words or criterias that you must meet e.g. women who have PTSD, then please look up the word ‘women’ to make sure actual research was done about women and it was not just mentioned in the introduction section. Don’t think you have to read the entire paper
4. Refernce and take notes
You’re not going to remember what you read where so take notes! Open an excel or word doc and have one column be the title and the other one be the notes in bulletpoint form.
Fnd a reference software e.g. refworks, mendeley so you don’t have to type each reference by hand. they are usually free (if you are in school)
SAVE THE GODDAMN PDF. Don’t lose it. If you can’t download a PDF, PRINT —> save as PDF.
Don’t have the license or money to buy the article, try emailing the author, use any school/college/university library computer, email a nerdy friend!
5. Where to get started
Search Engines: Pubmed, Google scholar, Medline
Journal servers: they tend to have recommendations like ‘articles you might enjoy,’ click on those
References: bibliographies and references of articles you’ve read are alway a good source
Search for authors in your interested field or of an article you found useful

did u know: according to scientists, in October the mitochondria turns into the frightochondria and becomes the haunted house of the cell
This should not have made me laugh
“Anxious people can have a hard time staying motivated, period, because their intense focus on their worries distracts them from their goals.”
— Winifred Gallagher
“What if I have a bad dream? What if I dream that you send us away into the dark and made it hurt?
Really hurt? And what if I’m so sad and scared of the dark out there, that I put poison in me for years and years until my blood turns into poison?
And my heart breaks right in half and I can’t feel anything happy? Until I can’t stand it anymore and I have to die? Until I’m on a silver table and my jaw is wired shut? Will you wake us up from a dream like that?” - (The Haunting of Hill House, 2018)

Not to be a contrarian prairiean but even indigenous people who didn’t have technologies/structures which surpassed european standards at contact and impress by modern day standards still deserve respect. My ancestors were impressive in that they lived with a positive impact on the land, even though they didn’t build permanent houses or anything like that. I refuse to be judged by eurocentric ideals of inventiveness and accomplishment.
Cultures develop the technology they need.
Prairie/plains/steppe cultures tend not to build permanent settlements not because they don’t know HOW, but because their food tends to move around and, besides, if a tent blows away in a tornado, it’s a heck of a lot easier to replace than a house.
The similarities between the cultures of the Great Plains and those of the Eurasian steppe aren’t an accident.
Your ancestors weren’t primitive, just smart enough to know what they needed to use, know, and develop.
Material culture develops out of the intersection of climate and terrain with human nature. But it’s amazing how many white people can spend years studying archaeology and still think European technology is The Best. Sigh.
