Rule 1: Pick your reading goal
Rule 2: Understand the author’s goal
Rule 3: Ask six questions
(1) What do the author(s) want to know (motivation)?
(2) What did they do (approach/methods)?
(3) Why was it done that way (context within the field)?
(4) What do the results show (figures and data tables)?
(5) How did the author(s) interpret the results (interpretation/discussion)?
(6) What should be done next? (Regarding this last question, the author(s) may provide some suggestions in the discussion, but the key is to ask yourself what you think should come next.)
