看文献的个人体会
Posted by LC | Filed under tip
1，看Figures和Results
因为这部分是就事论事，一个图得出一个结论。按照惯例，这部分不应该含任何的讨论和深入。图例有时会有不少实验细节，可能需要看Experimental Procedures帮助理解。
2，看Introduction
通过阅读按照作者的思路介绍的背景知识，加深对刚刚阅读的结果的理解。可能需要根据作者引用的文章，适当选择阅读，加深理解。
3，看Discussion
这是作者对本文章的讨论和深入，阅读需要一定的背景知识。由于文章Discussion的最后一段是总结发现，阐明意义；我一般是先读最后一段，把握基调，然后读整个Discussion。
- 粗读，对我来说就是看Figures和图例；有兴趣再读Results
- 细读，我会看Figures和图例，Results和Introduction；快速扫一下Discussion，有兴趣才会多看一下
- 精读，就是1-2-3，然后中间多次往返各个部分；一般在一次阅读后，过段时间，会再看看它的Discussion，思考思考
