    I’m aiming to turn in my dissertation draft in three weeks. I cannot believe I didn’t know about connected papers until just now! Your tips in this video would have saved me weeks worth of hours and too much erroneous thinking that I wasn’t cut out for this 🤦🏼‍♀️ Even though I’m coming across this late in my doctoral journey, it gives me renewed spirit to continue scholarly writing beyond graduation…thank you 🙏🏻

    It's interesting that you say you save the methods to last. I always read the methods FIRST (once I've identified that it's a paper of interest). If you don't read the methods first, then you basically have to take at face value what the authors say about their work (until you eventually read the methods). The methods let you answer questions like "are they using good controls?" "Are they using appropriate measures?" "Do the experimental manipulations jibe with their claims?" It helps me contextualize everything else they say.
    But I'm also in a social science - cognitive science / experimental psychology - so maybe there are differences among disciplines about where it makes sense to start.

    • @eriasusensei5160
      @eriasusensei5160 Год назад +2

      Perhaps in drafting a dissertation it makes more sense to start at the end of other papers in order to filter out which ones you actually want to use in references and in general support of your thesis. Judging the merits and quality of the paper itself though is a different question.

    • @asselstambekova2746
      @asselstambekova2746 Год назад +2

      I read Methods at the end and I'm in social sciences. One of the main reasons is simple. If the scope of the study I read provides any value for my current research from issues stated in either Discussion or Conclusion, I could take a look at Methods and learn anything from that section for either critiquing the study further or adding the study to the synthesis of studies in my litreview, for instance.

    Extraction of data into a spreadsheet while you are reading the paper I think is very helpful and in this way whenever you need details of the paper you can just easily go through your speed sheet instead of reading the whole of the paper again.

    when I have decided I like the title and abstract of a paper, I read the discussion. The discussion gives me an overview of the results and their meaning/implications/and how they fit in the context of the current literature, the real science of the study. i can look at the figures if I want the details.

    Hi Andy! Great video. I have a couple of questions: What is your approach to finding papers just for a reference? And how do you deal with following up on citations in a paper, do you always follow them to the "primary source" or do you cite a few papers that all talk about the same thing even if some of them cite others in turn? I find myself loosing track of what I'm reading and I have a million tabs with papers open because I'm following the references within papers.. it's a rabbit hole!
