Let's start my performance .

0、 First find a document management software , Open two folders ,1. Key documents ,2. Secondary literature .

How to summarize and arrange academic literature ？

1、 Pay attention to the references in the literature

The influence factors of the publication and the number of citations of the article can reflect the reference value of the article , And please note how other articles that quote this article evaluate this article , If the quality is not good, you don't have to look at it , Give up directly .

Then classify the scanned documents , Feel useful 、 Highly relevant literature is thrown into { Key documents } in , I think it's OK 、 Documents that can be properly referenced are thrown into { Secondary literature } in .

In each of the two folders 15 After the paper , It's from { Key documents } It's time for precision .

4、 Intensive reading or skipping reading

4.1 First of all to see Abstract, Usually Abstract Contains the most comprehensive elements of this article , This is an overview of the whole article . It is also necessary to outline the key words . You can understand the general meaning of the paper .（ In the process of reading , You can continue to classify the articles precisely ）

4.2 Skip . First reading Introduction, Focus on marking . Then read the subtitle , Under the guidance of the subtitle , Look for information that is useful to you , I think the most important information is Discussion and Conclusion part , You can take a look at it . The second is References, I put it in the fourth step .

4.3 intensive reading . After the above rough reading , There must be individual papers , After reading, I found that it was very helpful to the content I was going to study , At this time, you need to read these articles carefully again and again . It's best not to look up the dictionary when reading literature , Muddle up your thinking , Mark the words you don't understand , After reading it, you can query it uniformly .

In the process , At the same time, start to think about the argumentation method of your own article .

4.4 track References. The concepts in many papers are also cited , So I want to really understand the logic behind this concept , We have to look at the original literature of these concepts , To study how theory develops . And in the process, you can find more good documents , Constantly expand your own { Important literature } stock .

4.5 Determine sentence structure , And grasp the theme . There are tricks in English reading , A characteristic of Western literature is that it pays special attention to logic and reasoning , The Chinese literature likes to give a point of view and list the facts , So when reading English , Find out the topic of each paragraph , Sift out useless information .

4.6 You can open it the second time and the third time word, While reading, write down the content to be included in the summary , Then use your own words to re describe , Remember to mark citation

shortcoming ： The shortcomings come and go , Because of time , The experimental instruments are not accurate enough . The research is not comprehensive . Insufficient data analysis . Research methods are out of date .

such as ： Because of time , Some of the data is out of date , It is not in line with the present situation ,

Because the previous experimental instruments were not accurate enough , The results of the analysis are not accurate enough .

Only from one point of view xxxx The content of , But because xxx They are all connected and influenced by each other , Therefore, the results obtained from one aspect are not accurate
