Hello!
Where can I find comprehensive handbooks or online resources that can help me enhance my skills in reading and analyzing scientific articles across diverse disciplines, from epistemology to cognitive psychology, knowledge engineering, medical science, engineering, management science, and political science? Given the interdisciplinary nature of my research, I am looking for guidance that transcends specific domains.
Your expertise and suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I embark on this intellectually enriching journey.
I think you can use Zotero, Google Scholar and ofcourse research gate for reading and analysing the scientific articles

Thank you for your answer. My question is more about recommendations on how to organize the reading and analysis of articles from various disciplines fields. Reading in the fields such as engineering, medicine, management or even epistemology seems to present a risk, that of misinterpreting them due to a lack of mastery of the conventions specific to each discipline. I would like to obtain guides which would allow me to identify and anticipate the errors that can be made by researchers who have to read articles from various disciplines.
You can make a brief for each article based on their research questions, methods, analyses, and interpretations. If you encounter some technical words, you can first refer to Wikipedia, then other sources such as some websites, and finally, some very professional websites such as Google Scholar. It is not a good idea to find the description of each new technical word directly from scientific papers, as it would be very complicated and time-consuming to understand the technical words from different fields. besides, you can rely on some chapters of the books instead of articles, in the beginning. Finally, this is a good idea to go through review papers.
Thank you @Ehsan Mokhtarinejad for your response which underlines the importance of progressiveness in the appropriation of the different fields of research of their concepts and vocabulary
you could try sage journals, it has an extensive list of articles and it asks you for the subjects you are studying and short list articles for you, however you do need to be specific in your search criteria
Thanks Amanda martin-richards ! My question is not so much about where to find scientific literature in several disciplines, but rather about the pitfalls to avoid when dealing with articles from very different disciplines in a literature review.
