    How do you decide if an academic paper is worth reading? Which paper elements (abstract, authors, title, etc) influence you the most?

        Not the abstract. The conclusion.

        Number of citations and the abstract.

        If the number of citations is the criterion, you will avoid recently published papers.

        At a certain other "age" you have so few people who care about what you're doing that you feel obliged to read anything that cites you 😂

        on a more serious note: sometimes it takes decades before people start paying attention to at least some of the things you did; often you get noticed not for what you think were you “hardest” papers (Zorn complained to me once that he doesn’t want to be remembered for his Lemma)

        I normally read papers that cites me 😏

        Ah but before you read it, you don't know the content. For me the title generally decides if I go to the abstract, then that decides if I have a proper look in the paper. But I imagine there exist people who skip over papers unless they are by known people in good journals
