There are so many papers that looks relevant to a particular research. Which may create some confusion on choosing appropirate paper and reading their content. Please share your experience on paper choosing and reading strategies.
Best regards!
Reading papers takes precedence over "non-reading". Just because the situation is confusing, one should not hastily draw narrow boundaries and exclude areas that have a relevant connection to one's own research. But you don't know until you've read them. Relying on keywords alone is risky. Often the authors forgot to write the right keywords. The title of a publication is more important. But there is no way of relief if you do not want to take the risk of excluding important contributions from your own interpretation.
Suggestions for scientific work:
1. Build a technical script of your future research.
2. Try to answer some of the questions that you have created based on this script.
3. Choose keywords obtained using information from topics 1 and 2.
4. Choose scientific search sites and use your chosen keywords.
5. Build a digital library with the main articles found.
6. Make a reading of each article you choose in your digital library and summarize the strengths of these articles what help you with your research. The abstract can help you choose the strongest articles.
7. Assemble your template and start writing the introduction that can help you develop your work and the methodology to be used.
8. Do your experiments and go using the relevant articles to strengthen your research.
9. Always ask questions and if possible, see the points that can be enlarged in the literature depending on your work.
10. Work with motivation, enthusiasm and dedication until you can simultaneously write your manuscript for future publication.
In the selection of research papers, the way to select by "number of cited papers" has become a fashion in recent years.
However, as Max Weber advocated, "Science is predestined to progress."
Therefore, in evaluating the paper, the possibility of spreading to the unexpected future is the most important viewpoint.
It is too easy to use citation quota as a means of selecting only the research paper which is just one axis of the analysis of past achievement announcement.
Unlike athletic competitions, rather than in art, we should first respect the creativity of the article.
Interesting question indeed. I use different approaches to determining whether a paper is worth reading. The following points listed are not necessarily in order of importance but more of filling in the box.
1. Where is the paper coming from? Someone well grounded in the area or collaborating with an expect?
2. What is in the abstract? Does this support the tittle of the paper?
3. What does the conclusion say? Does this support the abstract?
4. reference quota
Once I can answer these questions, I should be good.
