A few ideas about the reading literature side of research. I’m by no means an expert-but having had to teach myself a lot of this stuff, I’m surprised by how little has been written about it, and here are some things I wish I knew when I started! (Thread 1/n)
Look for negative space. While you look for open problems and established techniques, remember: there is a *strong* selection filter. Much more is below the surface. Why is this obvious technique not used? Why so few citations? How many neg. results before this one? 11/n

Train your intuition. As you read, make predictions about what you expect to find elsewhere in the literature. How will papers that cite this one improve on it? When you pattern match a paper as useful to read, is it actually? Check your guesses. 12/n

And talk to people! Someone who is clued in can occasionally show you right to the-paper-you-wish-you-read. I’ll stop there for now! There is much more to say and always more to learn. What is your approach to literature? 13/13
