Oh yea, definitely. You can plausibly say, "I skim 10 papers a day," but you can't read 10 papers a day, let alone understand them. ...also, if your skimming 10 papers a day, I'd suggest your candidate selection strategy is pretty awful.

Writing thoughts down *as they occur* is crucial. I finally realized halfway through grad school that, *no*, in fact I *won't* remember that really keen and significant insight, the next time I read that one passage.

I close read the same way - take notes in a separate document while reading, pursue tangents (and write em’ down too).

Depends on context - some come easier than others. In the most extreme of cases, I spend several hours, generally spread across two days so I can sleep on it. I read on paper and write notes in margins, then type up brief conclusions, denoting the supporting figure.

The more important it is for me to really understand a paper, the more times I read it. Each read-through yields more insight. I still don't have a great note-taking system -- typically it's just longhand into a notebook. 1/
