Is there any pros of undergraduate student reading article and trying to publish their articles? (I'm aiming for med and also some another path if first one doesn't go well).

[kamikamen_official]

Thanks a lot for this. Recently I have been trying to read AI papers, and been doing linear reads (cause I thought that's what you're supposed to do.) Read a few, but I realized it's not sustainable. This on the other hand looks really applicable, I'll try that and hopefully it goes better. Thanks again!

Preliminary Assessment:
Determine the reason for engaging with the article: Is it for reference, supporting an argument, conducting a systematic review, or critiquing?
Evaluate its relevance to your current task or research.

Three Reading Strategies:
1.Bird's Eye View:
-Quickly survey the content to ascertain its purpose and relevance.
-Assess if a detailed read is necessary to fulfill your objectives.
-Experts often aim to grasp the main points swiftly.
-Identify your purpose for reading and focus on extracting essential information.
2. Swoop Method:
-Dive deeper into the core arguments and debates during a second pass.
-Be discerning and efficient, focusing on crucial details rather than reading every word.
3. Street View Method:
-Engage deeply with the material when necessary, such as during peer review or when extracting specific information.
-Consider printing and highlighting relevant sections for deeper analysis.

Additional Advice:
-Recognize well-written papers to enhance your own writing skills.
-Emulate effective writing by employing the Rubber Duck Method: Simplify and clarify your writing by explaining it as if to a layperson, removing technical jargon.

I did not understand the last method, what do I do in rubber duck method exactly? thank you

[mr.goldenproductions_]

All well and good prof., but how do you know where "to swoop in"? Thanks

[GodfreyMann]

The rubber duck’s not a thing, I talk in my head when debugging, but I will talk aloud when it gets complex, if I’m tired, or I just need to focus.
