Wow, you're quick. I remember seeing you ask for video ideas just a few hours before uploading this.
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 🙏🏻
Just started my PhD and I have to say your videos are very reassuring and very much appreciated!
how is your PhD going?
@@RCagataySahin Taking a leave of absence due to health. Did great on my first year.
PhD update please?
@@ragnar000lothbrokReturning soon from a leave of absence.
I really appreciate him too.
I am from Pakistan KP.
PhD has made us all universal mates😮.
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.
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.
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.
Glad that you are growing.
Started when you had around 7k and now it is 3x.
Love the community we are!
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.
This is exactly what I did with my Master's
I am also doing this now. I tried to find a reference management that can do this, but I didn't find any, so I created a google docs manually.
@@ceritanontonyoutube6784 can you please share the link? or what are the fields you use in the spreadsheet so that i can make it too? thanks
A huge "Thank you" for this video. I asked the question "How to read a paper" to a teacher at the university a few years ago and didn't get a satisfying answer. Your video has given me the exact information I need. This fall I'm going to be a PhD student, and your pieces of advice are a great help to me.
I cannot thank you enough! I just started my phd and due to the pandemic social distancing, you are a savior...
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.
Very useful ideas and practical lived experiences. Thanks Andy.
He's a machine! Love this channel, and when he says: years and papers lol.
My favorite academics are currently ANZAC-area-folks lol
I am writing my undergraduate thesis and you channel is one of the things that motivates me to do something for my thesis.
Thank you so much for those resources, connectedpapers blew my mind
man i am so glad youtube finally threw me onto academic youtube instead of studygram youtube. i am doing my masters and looking to continue academia with a phd and as a researcher. insane helpful. thanks
Thank you so much Andy. A video in time
Thank you Andy for another amazing video
I'm just an average undergrad but our professor is grooming us to carry on Doctoral degree =) New subscriber here. Your videos are very engaging.
Thank you Andy. Your walkthrough guide has been an incredible video for me to set the precedent tone for my research paper. I appreciate your work.
You're very welcome, Olivia!
This video is a good starting point for me since I planned to start my Phd sooner
Thank you so much , I’m still doing my masters degree 😅 and it’s the first time for me to actually research and write academically for real
Andy, I can say nothing more than " Thank you for making me more knowledgeable, wiser, and SMARTER :)
Thanks a lot Andy. These are great tools
Thanks again, Andrew! Lots and loads of eye-openers to me in times of dealing (struggling actually) with my Literature Review. A massive thanks. Not only your delivery is keeping my focus and eyes peeled, also your top-notch beard :) I wish I had one like yours haha. Peace!
I have tried lateral & it is useful
Thank you Andy for this information.
Very helpful video Andy. Thank you
Great one, It helps me a lot.
Thank you so much , that was really helpful
THIS is the video I needed!
It would be super useful to see the spreadsheet template you mentioned in another video that you used to summarise findings based on different categories. Mainly how many categories and how much info per category, Cheers!
Can I get the link of that video please
Thanks a lot for your advices! You are a real storyteller. I love your videos, I'm starting my PhD and they are super helpful and you transmit it so good.
You are so welcome, Sara!
@@DrAndyStapleton you mentioned about scihub website for fast reading and parapharsing? what is the website name Andy?
God bless you! This is just brilliant! Thank you
As a beginning PhD student this was very helpful, thank you!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
I have to say I enjoyed your Video, Andy!
Thanks Andy
Andy, you are the best
Thank you very much sir 🙏🙏
Great video, help me a lot.
Thank you immensely
Very useful video. Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom.
My pleasure!
Great video and information before starting research although I am still thinking my research topic.
Just discovered your page yesterday and I must say that you are a blessing sir.
Welcome!
I just started PhD and have been wondering the most efficient way to read research papers. This video is just in time. Thanks!!!!!
Same! :)
@@Lavender_Academic :)) Best of luck!
Dear Andy, thank you for all your wonderful, and above all useful, contributions, which bring us students many useful tips and open up new dimensions when using AI tools. In the future, could you also introduce an AI tool to help interpret statistical results obtained in SPSS, R, etc. .... It is usually a problem how to write text correctly in e.g. APA style etc. Thanks for all the good work, I look forward to new sequels.
You are awesome!
from Morocco, thanks!
All I can say is Thank you!
Great video, amazing info. Well done
Thank you!
Thanks
Thanks a lot sir
Hello. Thank you very much for your videos. Do you think that Obsidian can be used for the same function as connected papers/researchrabbit/litmaps ? Do you think Obsidian can be as performant as these 3 app ?
Hello. As I'm about to do my PhD. I have a topic in mind related to prevalence of genetic disease but after some reviews I found that the community/groups in that area are understudied. So can I focus on that study? And do I have to search for similar articles related to prevalence in other community/areaas?
Thanks I am doing a test of Lateral io now, and wonder how can i add my zotero files to it, I had to downlad the 2 i was testing directly to my pc first! I am sure I can quickly find on PC somehow without having to download!
I cant believe I am in year 4 and this is the first I have heard of any of these.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for the Super thanks!
Hi. I am working on 4-5 different projects (including collaborations). It’s hard to keep track of experimental data, writings and papers, while working in the lab for most part of the day. Do you have any suggestions to help me with that?
I'll have a think about a video that'll help and look for some tools that could make it easier.
@@DrAndyStapleton Awesome! I was just about to suggest/ask for a video about keeping track of what you've read. Some people can just keep it all in their head but I can't! Thanks for all your content 👏👏👏👏
watched the entire video just for the beard. Damn bro you is on fuego!!!
It was so helpful, but based on your request, yes there is another way, Beginning with abstract, keywords, introduction, headings , beginning sentences, and conclusions. Regards.Dr Jaafar Almashaal
How could I claim the Bonus ebooks and cheatsheets: Study focus ebook, morning ritual ebook, etc? Thanks
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!
This is a wonderful Question! I would also love an answer to this because I just don't know where to stop with citations!
Joining the thread of this intriguing question. I would love to know more about it as well.
I would love to know the answer as well
Google has created a similar tool for multiple articles called pinpoint. Not sure which one is best yet. Lateral seems to have more functions, but pinpoint is more user-friendly.
Couldn't pinpoint pinpoint on Google
Man, you churned that out quickly since the poll.
please provide link for thoes search modifiers
Be aware that these tools are good but not perfect especially when the subject is rather obscure. I did a search on a paper I wrote with all three tools, and they missed a citation that Google Scholar found and none of the supposed related papers that were found were actually related to my article. So, use the tools as a help, not as a final solution.
How to use lateral as i am new user?
Figuring out you shouldn't read a paper from start to finish but start reading the discussion and conclusion first feels like learning a cheat code. Same thing with learning to not write your own paper in order
Can you address how we find 'the best papers to read' in the first place
Can we do research without having book. Using Google
U're tremendous
I don’t know if you can edit the video transcript, but around 1:59 point your name comes across as Andrew S Dalton. Just thought you might want to change that, if you can.
SIR i have a question,
does doing phd destroys your social life ?? (i mean having no relationships or partner)
Probably yes. You are just focused on research and deadlines.
@@MissOrostegui NO IT DOES NOT I HAVE TALKED TO SO MANY PHD STUDENT THEY TOLD ME THAT DOING PHD ACTUALLY MAKES YOUR SOCIAL LIFE STRONG AS YOU MEET SO MANY LIKE MINDED PEOPLE WHEN YOU ATTEND ANY CONFERENCE.
So, why do you ask questions you already know their answer?
How would you incorporate AI in research?
🕊
NO WAY! 03:55 We belched at the same time.😄
Then why don't we just structure the paper differently to make it easier for readers to read?
How to remain focused: try reading the "Chicken paper" without laughing
Hi. Is there anyone who wants to be reading article partners? I aim to read at least one article for one day.
