How to Read an Academic/Research Paper
The main sections are:
Abstract: a general overview of the paper’s content. It’s good to start here first, to sort of “seed” the ideas and concepts of the paper into your head.
Introduction: the general overview and setting of the paper. Sometimes you’ll find brief descriptions of key concepts or phrases
Methods: Read at the end, the technical jargon might be too heavy to for your to read this first.
Results:
Conclusion/Interpretation/Discussion: the hypothesis is either accepted or rejected. Reading the conclusion can help you decide if you want to spend your time reading the paper or not if you are looking for a specific method of doing something.
References: Read to familiarize yourself with the common titles, sources, and theories.
Tip: Read the Intro, and conclusion before you read the rest of the paper, its the fastest way of knowing what’s in the paper.
Look out for the keywords key contribution and significant.
Step by Step instructions:
Read Intro and Conclusion
Identify the big question - what is this paper about?
Summarize the background in five sentences - why is this research important?
Identify specific questions - What exactly are the authors trying to answer with their research.
Read methods
Read results and write down a sentence to summarize the result of each experiment.
How do the results answer the specific question?
Read the conclusion section - Do the authors think that the results answered the big question?
Now read the abstract - did it match what happened?

My last semester of school is starting soon so I thought, why not set myself a challenge to make this final sem "memorable". So the challenge is to score a 4.0 gpa (rip brain). I'll update my results here in 6 months' time. Peace out. 😂✌
I just remembered about this post 😂 I did not get a 4.0 sadly but good news is I have been accepted into a university :D I'll be more active here soon ✌
Something I heard yesterday really resonated with me. “If whatever you did today was better than what you were going to do, consider it a success. Walking to the mailbox and back is better than staying inside all day.” The same goes for studying, if today you made the decision to study, even for 20 minutes, it’s better than scrolling through social media. Don’t be so hard on yourself, not every day has to be your best most productive day, as long as you did better than the alternative, it’s a win.
While it's great if you can use the quarantine to learn a new language or write a book, it's also perfectly okay if all you can manage is scrolling through social media or binge watching Netflix. While it's great to make the most of this situation, for some of us just getting through it is an achievement by itself. So don't be too hard on yourself if you haven't managed to draw or write daily or if you have yet to dedicate hours to a new hobby. It's okay. You're doing good even if all you're doing is keeping yourself together.
