A crude summary: 1. Discover relevant papers using Research Rabbit 2. Shortlist papers to potentially read in a paper reference manager like Zotero 3. Prioritise by reading the title and abstract 4. Calendarise a reading time 5. Scan figures and discussion (starting with the headings)
As only a master graduate who has worked for 7-8 years in industry, and now returning back to a research group as a postdoc with field expertise... missing that PhD phase, I am honestly really struggling to read fundamental research papers. Thank you for your tips. Will use to unlearn and relearn my reading technique.
I totally agree. Decide early to read the file or not by looking at abstracts/figures. Then read the intro/discussion/conclusion if it is relevant. If it is more relevant skim through the technical sections. If it is really related to your work, then read the technical section until it is understood and complement with TH-cam videos the author may have, which might be easier to understand than the paper.
I didn't know I needed that, but apparently I do, because I still have hundreds of pages of technical documentation to read, so... Maybe this will help (gods, I hope so). xd And it's quite scary how accurate YT recommendations are tbh. :v
I love this and will be applying it to my work. I'm only 3 months into my PhD and have been struggling with figuring out the best way to do reading. Although I'm kinda coming to the conclusion that I am missing some of the background knowledge and will be figuring out how best to learn some of that.
You definitely have some great tips for pursuing a Ph.D. I'm in the middle of my first year of a Ph.D. in ecoacoustics (I did my master's over 10 years ago in EEG and switched fields) and I've found it challenging to find ways to focus again on reading scientific articles and on the writing methods for my doctoral proposal. I've watched a couple of your videos today and will definitely continue to follow you. You've gained a subscriber. Greetings from Colombia.💌
This was very helpful! I feel like a lot of people circulate the same reading techniques. I appreciated that you had approached the topic through multiple angles. I really like the paper manager and the recall recommendation sections 😊❤
Thank you sooo much for sharing your experience with us; I wish I had known these tips when I was a Ph.D. student. I will use it in my current job as a Postdoc!
Thanks for the tips. I find the way you talk is attractive....clear, sincere and convincing..not intrusive or condescending.. I have pressed LIKE and subscribe.
Based on my experiences in doing quantum research, it would be efficient for you to learn from the abstract to the summary. If you found this paper valuable, then you could take a look the experiments or methods the researchers were using to do the research.
Thanks Ms Charolette , you really helpful and inspiring and authentic, with no promoted videos, many doctors and PhD students on youtube now just show us the best tablets, mouse and other non-relevant commercial promotion keep, so we are tuned
Hi Thank you for your sharing, I am wondering if I can also know how you write down your notes on Notion. I tried to do that before, but I was so lost in constructing a helpful way for me to organize all the information from papers. bte, it's so good to know that I can paper color labels in Zotero, that's really helpful too. Thank you again for your sharing, it's very helpful!
This is so good! I just finished my first year at Pitt and I always found myself spending so much time yet remember so little from what I read a couple of weeks ago.
My God, first video seen of this channel, found you incredible. Love your voice and dedication. Keep it up! Also, ofc, thanks so much for the tips, I am in a life moment where I am increasing my studying volume and I really needed, fe the "voice note" tip, as I always struggle to listen to me on the topic I study. Yes, it would help a lot to re-think the content a bit, without using too much time. Thanks!
Put them in your iPad and have enhanced voice Alex read aloud the papers....I usually increase the speed to 2.0x so that all the words flow together. Papers contain a lot of fluff words and extraneous information. I even wrote a Perl script to filter out anything in parenthesis because, well, they're parenthetical extraneous material. Also, I watch most youtube videos at 2.0x speed, including this one
Hi Charlotte! Thank you for taking the time to put it all together in such a clean way. I'm also on my 2nd year of phd studies, so your recommendations and advices have all my attention. May I ask for some suggestions on keeping up with social life, doing exercise in a regular way and all the house hold stuff that actually takes some time. Thank you again. Regards!
I really need this video because I always struggle with subjects with long readings because I really but a great effort in analyzing and anointing, etc
Love the suggestions. I am in my 3rd of PhD. I have been using zotero and notion to maintain references. The voice memo idea is a game changer. Thank you.
This is so helpful! I'm a new PhD student and frustrated about how I should start my research. I feel lost at a certain point that many things I read were disconnected. This is lifesaving! Really appreciate the sharing
I wish I have thought of reaching out for how to conduct a research when I did my MPhil. This is really good to open up the discussion of research daily life. Thank you!
Thank you very much for taking the time to share this information with us. It's particularly difficult for newcomers to manage the articles being read. 😢

I'm fortunate in that I can read as fast as I have to, and have a great recollection of the content. If what I need is 10,000 pages and I have a deadline of a week, I'll make it work. It won't be comfortable, but it will get done. That being said, I will also read for enjoyment and I'll read at whatever pace I want to for that. When I read fiction, for example, I linger a bit for the imaginative world building. For technical material, I read it for the content and contextual value, so I can process it faster (even in extremely technical pursuits.) The downside to the way my mind works is that if something particularly bad happens to me, it could have been a decade ago, but it can feel like it just happened an hour ago. Fortunately over the decades of my life, I have learned to embrace that and while it might seem terrible, I've made it a useful aspect. (For example, improving empathetic responses to other people's experiences or an appreciation of art based on emotional elements of being.)
@@takeyouwithme743 you may want to check out some speed reading technique books. They offer pathways and techniques that are more broad. I have an 160+ IQ, so assimilating data rapidly is easy for me. Depending on your potential, results will vary. Reading more also helps, as it keeps you in practice and develops better comprehension and endurance. Another important skill is to quiet your mind. When you have distracted focus, your productive capacity drops. Keeping a paper note pad is helpful, jot down any distractions to deal with later. It's hard to focus when you have threads of thoughts tugging at you. Electronic note options usually add distraction, especially anything connected to the internet. For my massive binges there is usually a purposefulness and so enthusiasm is a driving factor. I already have a huge base of understanding in sciences, so my reading level is post-doctorate in many fields. That helps a lot for the more complicated stuff. Humility is important. As much as I know, I know I'm not omniscient, so if I hit a rough patch I divert to foundational content and re-engage when I have a better foundation to push from. It's possible for you to lose time trying to leap over a knowledge gap, and the frustration will impact progress. Also, sleep. Not only does that improve endurance, but also memory capacity and retention, morale, and it reduces stress - which complicates maintaining speed.
You can also use emojis for tagging that will appear on the left of your document title, just like coloured tags do. To achieve that, you'll need to create tags which contain a single emoji character, then assign a random colour to it.
Hey, Thank you so much, your video has really helped me to gain perspective and knowledge of how to approach reading papers and doing my thesis. Wish you well. -Alfred
Hi charlotte! Thanks for the video, Im really trying to improve my reading habits before getting into graduate school. I wanted to know if there’s a way for you to share with us your notion page in which you compile the papers you read in. I’m still getting used to notion and it’d be of much use 😃
Hi Charlotte, your tips are super awesome! Thank you for sharing because I found it hard to read and manage the journals but your tips kinda so helpful. Best of luck for you!
I love reading fast, if you read fast, you think fast, you understand fast , great content video. I really appreciate your approach. I should subscribe to your cool channel
Really interesting to hear how you do this. I would like to see more of your workflow with the papers as a Notino user. Seem odd doing the same thing in Notion and zotero? I would love to discuss this with you further 😁 I am an obsidian user.
hi charlotte! im about to start my neuroscience masters soon and i found this video super helpful! thank you for all of the tips and recommendations :)
Those who liked the video merley because of her beautiful smile kindly put a red _ heart for me here or even leave a comment why not? and secondly, to be honest, what she presented was very informative.
00:02 Tips for reading papers fast 01:05 Read faster by skimming through the paper 02:04 Scan abstract, then go straight to figures for quick understanding of paper content. 03:00 Skimming papers takes about 30 minutes and helps identify potential future research questions. 03:57 Use tools like Notion for efficient paper reading 04:51 To effectively understand and analyze papers 05:51 Use a paper reference manager to organize and categorize papers for efficient reading. 06:46 Set a specific time each day for reading to manage your readings effectively.
What do you think about obsidian? I think the advantage is that it does what notion does but it also shows you a "dots and connection graph" that puts in relation every note you write using the filters you prefer. If you don t know it I strongly advise you to check it out. 😀
I use Obsidian since my masters, and I didn't find the graph feature too effective. it just gets too cluttered, but its not a bad way to organize summaries.
@@genericperson8238 Have to second this. Used Notion first until I realized it’s just too bad of an app, made my own converter script and moved my files to obsidian, but quickly just realized it is over complicating things. Graph wasn’t that useful, and if graphs are not used a simple git repo with markdown files really just does the trick.
My brother, in 30 minutes I want that paper to be read entirely, not skimmed. For example, a paper of 15 pages, I want to read it in 30-45 minutes (2-3 minutes) skipping the methods sections if present.
Hi Charlotte, thank you for sharing your tips, this channel is very helpful to me as I am planning on doing a PhD in computational neuroscience in the future. In your experience, would you recommend starting out by reading seminal works first in a lot of detail? Or would you just start with recent review articles published in a variety of journals that are interrelated? I have a tendency to always want to trace back citations until I get a good sense of the historical challenges and developments. By doing so, the papers that I add to my reading list grows exponentially. I end up getting distracted easily and go down a lot of rabbit holes. Do you have any advice?
I'm pretty shit at reading papers, but I tend to rabbit-hole and get gassed out. What helps me though is, first, making sure I take care of other mental health things like sleeping, eating, and dealing with other distracting life stuff (sometimes that's just writing it down, scheduling to take care of it later, etc.). Second, but kind of related, is just calming down--I sometimes bounce around and don't actually understand before going on to the next paper. Third, I'm much better if I have specific questions I want to answer vs just trying to understand XYZ: if I have that specific question, it also helps with the second thing because I can filter out the thoughts that I should be reading something else because my question organizes what I choose to read. Hope that helps, or at least was reassuring. (and made sense!)
i would like to have a wish to stay in library for a year ! i won't go outside, only for sunday and i want to get back my willing in reading books it was Healthy Ms Charlotte thanks . greetings from Morocco ^^
1. Read Abstracts 2. Look are the figures 3. Set a time to read the chosen ones 4. take notes when reading 5. use tools
Thanks 😊
number 3 in reality should be read the conclusions
Also read the results/discussion/conclusion
3, read first sentence of each paragraph.
how to watch a clip fast & effectively

Thank you for your tips. Will use to unlearn and relearn my reading technique.
I follow the ACRM strategy. Abstract 1st, Conclusion next, Results ,Methods next [ selectively reading with focus on answering my own questions]
I played this video at 2x, it was educational. Read faster is the main message.
Its about two things
•focus
•and focus .
Excellent advice, it would be great if you could make a video where you show how you structure your readings of the papers in Notion. Thank you
Yes, I would love to see this!

A very good content. Please can you do a video on referencing
The order i read:
title -> abstract -> conclusions, and only after this I can decide whether I want to spend time on the article or not
this us so useful, thank you for this amazing vid.. youre so inspirational
Great knowledge very useful across many fields!
What do you think about obsidian? I think the advantage is that it does what notion does but it also shows you a "dots and connection graph" that puts in relation every note you write using the filters you prefer.

I use Obsidian since my masters, and I didn't find the graph feature too effective. it just gets too cluttered, but its not a bad way to organize summaries.
@@genericperson8238 Have to second this.

Simple word with all notes divided in different level of headings is sufficient

Hi Charlotte, thank you for sharing your tips, this channel is very helpful to me as I am planning on doing a PhD in computational neuroscience in the future.
In your experience, would you recommend starting out by reading seminal works first in a lot of detail?
Or would you just start with recent review articles published in a variety of journals that are interrelated?

Second, but kind of related, is just calming down--I sometimes bounce around and don't actually understand before going on to the next paper. Third, I'm much better if I have specific questions I want to answer vs just trying to understand XYZ: if I have that specific question, it also helps with the second thing because I can filter out the thoughts that I should be reading something else because my question organizes what I choose to read.
Hope that helps, or at least was reassuring. (and made sense!)
