A quick post by a lazy student : How to read academic journal articles

As an upper division psych student, many of my classes require literature reviews and research projects with sources from peer reviewed articles and empirical research. I thought I’d make a quick post about how to read journal articles in the fastest + most effective way possible! 

My first tip is to make sure your articles are from trusted sources. Use academic databases like EBSCO, SpringerLink, or even Google Scholar! If you are a university student, check out the resources and databases you have access to! 

How do I search a Database? 

Top Ten Database Search Tips Searching in Databases

The parts of an article

+Abstract; The abstract is essentially a summary of the article. It will go over the hypotheses, testing/research methods, as well as any important results

+Intro; The intro usually gives background information and any related information to the topic of study

+Method; The method section explains how the research was conducted. 

+Results; Pretty self explanatory. This section goes results of the experiment and should include quantitative data. 

+Discussion; This section discusses how the results relate to the hypotheses, the significance of the study, alternative explanations, etc. 

+References; The references section is a list of sources the researchers used to write their article. 

How the hell am I supposed to know if this 18 page article is useful or not? 

1. Read the Title and the Abstract. This should tell you how relevant it is to your topic of study. If it seems like it might be helpful, go to the intro. 

2. Go the last paragraph of the Intro section. This should give you the exact hypotheses of the study. Still seems helpful? Continue to step 3. 

3. Skip to the first paragraph of the Discussion section to see how well the data supports their hypotheses. 

Okay, what next? 

Once you’ve done this, you have a general understanding of the hypotheses and the results. After that, you’re going to want some evidence. This should be in the Methods and Results section of your article. This is where you’ll find a good amount of information for your lit. review or research paper. 

I’m still not sure if this article is useful or not…

ask yourself: 

1. What are their hypotheses?

2. Do their results prove/disprove their hypotheses?

3. What is their evidence? 

If you can’t answer those easily, it’s time to move on to the next article.

“But, darling, I’ll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.”

“O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns?”

“Is it working?”

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.

BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.

Bourdain: How to Travel

“The first thing I do is I dress for airports. I dress for security. I dress for the worst-case scenario. Comfortable shoes are important — I like Clarks desert boots because they go off and on very quickly, they’re super comfortable, you can beat the hell out of them, and they’re cheap.

In my carry-on, I’ll have a notebook, yellow legal pads, good headphones. Imodium is important. The necessity for Imodium will probably present itself, and you don’t want to be caught without it. I always carry a scrunchy lightweight down jacket; it can be a pillow if I need to sleep on a floor. And the iPad is essential. I load it up with books to be read, videos, films, games, apps, because I’m assuming there will be downtime. You can’t count on good films on an airplane.

I check my luggage. I hate the people struggling to cram their luggage in an overhead bin, so I don’t want to be one of those people.

On the plane, I like to read fiction set in the location I’m going to. Fiction is in many ways more useful than a guidebook, because it gives you those little details, a sense of the way a place smells, an emotional sense of the place. So, I’ll bring Graham Greene’s The Quiet American if I’m going to Vietnam. It’s good to feel romantic about a destination before you arrive.

I never, ever try to weasel upgrades. I’m one of those people who feel really embarrassed about wheedling. I never haggle over price. I sort of wander away out of shame when someone does that. I’m socially nonfunctional in those situations.

I don’t get jet lag as long as I get my sleep. As tempting as it is to get really drunk on the plane, I avoid that. If you take a long flight and get off hungover and dehydrated, it’s a bad way to be. I’ll usually get on the plane, take a sleeping pill, and sleep through the whole flight. Then I’ll land and whatever’s necessary for me to sleep at bedtime in the new time zone, I’ll do that.

There’s almost never a good reason to eat on a plane. You’ll never feel better after airplane food than before it. I don’t understand people who will accept every single meal on a long flight. I’m convinced it’s about breaking up the boredom. You’re much better off avoiding it. Much better to show up in a new place and be hungry and eat at even a little street stall than arrive gassy and bloated, full, flatulent, hungover. So I just avoid airplane food. It’s in no way helpful.

For me, one of the great joys of traveling is good plumbing. A really good high-pressure shower, with an unlimited supply of hot water. It’s a major topic of discussion for me and my crew. Best-case scenario: a Japanese toilet. Those high-end Japanese toilets that sprinkle hot water in your ass. We take an almost unholy pleasure in that.

I’ve stopped buying souvenirs. The first few years I’d buy trinkets or T-shirts or handcrafts. I rarely do that anymore. My apartment is starting to look like Colonel Mustard’s club. So much of it comes out of the same factory in Taiwan.

The other great way to figure out where to eat in a new city is to provoke nerd fury online. Go to a number of foodie websites with discussion boards. Let’s say you’re going to Kuala Lumpur — just post on the Malaysia board that you recently returned and had the best rendang in the universe, and give the name of a place, and all these annoying foodies will bombard you with angry replies about how the place is bullshit, and give you a better place to go.”

Google Has Quietly Dropped Ban on Personally Identifiable Web Tracking

Google is the latest tech company to drop the longstanding wall between anonymous online ad tracking and user’s names.

Guys, this is really important. Until now, Google collected your data, but did not attach your name to it. Now, they can, and will. This new thing they’re doing will allow them to collect your data across searches, your email, Youtube, Maps, Google+, and all their affiliates, and build a complete profile of YOU.

If that doesn’t bother you, maybe this will: they own and can sell all that data, including anything you create and send (artists and writers, take note).

There is a way you can opt out of this ridiculousness. It’s described in the link, but if you’re still not sure about it, please ask me and I’ll guide you through how to turn all this off.

This is my wake-up call. I’ll be locking down my devices and scaling back what I put through the big Google machine, which means you may see less of me across social media. I’m going to keep researching this, but it may mean in order to keep the rights to my creative work, I’ll have to keep it out of Google’s hands. And that may take some doing.

[thebyrchentwigges]

Duckduckgo is a nontracking search engine….may be worth a try.

[tygermama]

So according to the article there is an opt out for this. Instructions are I the last paragraph. I’m on mobile so I’ll edit this more later. EDITED TO INCLUDE OPT OUT INSTRUCTIONS

To opt-out of Google’s identified tracking, visit the Activity controls on Google’s My Account page, and uncheck the box next to “Include Chrome browsing history and activity from websites and apps that use Google services.“ You can also delete past activity from your account.

[jellyroll22]

FUCKING BOOST!!!!!

[finnglas]

Just did this. The opt out and deletion process was easy and painless. Considering what we’ve seen of data breaches and the fact that Google straight up deleted their “Don’t be evil” clause? It seemed worth it to me.
