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 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
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!

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 RUclips videos the author may have, which might be easier to understand than the paper.
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.💌
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
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.
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 😊❤
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
1. Effective Paper Reading Strategies - [0:28] She introduces her method for reading papers quickly and efficiently, developed over two years of PhD studies. - [0:55] The three main goals in reading papers: reading a lot, remembering the content, and contextualizing the information. - [1:30] She demonstrates her skimming technique, starting with the title and abstract to determine relevance. 2. Skimming Technique - [2:09] After deciding to read a paper, Fraser immediately focuses on the figures to understand the main results. - [2:49] She then moves to the discussion section, which often contains critical points and future research questions. - [3:23] This skimming method typically takes about 30 minutes per paper. 3. Improving Retention - [3:34] She uses Notion to organize and remember papers she's read. - [4:03] She takes screenshots of important figures and adds them to her Notion page. - [4:14] Voice memos are used to record critical thoughts and interpretations of the paper. 4. Contextualizing Information - [4:56] She emphasizes the importance of putting papers into a broader context. - [5:07] She recommends using Research Rabbit, an app that creates visual trees showing connections between papers in a field. - [5:30] This approach helps in selecting future papers to read and understanding how one's work fits into the wider literature. 5.

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.
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. 😢
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!
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
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
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 :)
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
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
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.
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.
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
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! 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 😃
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.
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!
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!)
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.
"How To Read Papers Fast & Effectively"... is the same as watching RUclips videos. GO STRAIGHT TO THE COMMENT SECTIONS... look at the "Like and Dislike" ratios... and then... skip watch or play at 2x speed to see if it's even worth watching...
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.

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.
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
Thank you so much for all the tips!
