      How to read a scientific paper: Methods, Results, Introduction, Conclusion, Discussion Counterintuitive, but it is by far the best thing you can do

      Methods = what the scientists did Results = what they found Intro = why they did it Conclusion = what it means Discussion = why it means that

      You read the methods first because the most important part of an experiment is the experiment I don't care why the scientists did their research if the methods were terrible

      Results next, because you want to know the facts that the experiment produced This is because facts come before theories!

      Then the intro, to understand the background to the research, and finally the conclusion/discussion because you want to see how it fits in with emerging theories and practice

          With this structure, you'll get the most out of any research paper, because you'll form an unbiased view on what the research was before you read about the theories that underlie it

          You also won't waste your time reading 10 pages of theory in an introduction when the experiment itself was basically a waste of time

          (As a general rule, the longer the introduction, the worse the actual research is)

          P.s. as some people have noted, it can be useful to read the last couple of lines of the introduction first to make sure you know what the paper is about

          Thanks for pointing out good reasons as to why reading like this. However, when and how much do you check the reference list?

          Usually I check it as I go. It depends on the claims being made and how familiar I am with the subject matter
