Tips for Reading Scientific
Literature
 You cannot expect to read everything
 Try to read articles that are
 Most interesting to you
 Most relevant to your and your groups research
 No one has time to read all of the text. Read the abstract, intro, and try to discern major
points from the figures and schemes.
 Discuss what you have read with others
 Always take note of the author and affiliation.
