How To Read A Scientific Research Paper

Authors : Boumediene Houda .

Abstract

The study sheds light on the importance of reading a scientific paper that is never taught. Scientific articles are different from other texts, novels, or newspaper stories, thus, they should be read differently. Reading is a common skill that learners and researchers learn. With the exponential spread of knowledge, no one has time to read everything. In fact, reading original research, though time-consuming, is effective and crucial for development. Based on previous background, the reader should select papers with which he is already familiar . Rather than starting from the beginning. This article outlines a practical and efficient method for reading research papers. It also describes how to use this method to review any kind of paper. It is always better to approach a paper by reading the conclusions in the abstract first. The methods should be next reviewed, then the results first in the abstract, and then the full paper. For efficacy, reasons should not be read or reviewed any further in the article. Keshav’s s Three Pass Approach proved to be effective in reviewing any type of paper. By adopting such an approach along with critical and creative readings, many papers will be evaluated and read, In addition , the peer-review process will be facilitated.
