Tips For Reading Scientific Papers

Reading a scientific paper is a different process than reading about science in a blog or news article. At first, a single paper may take considerable time to get through, so be patient with yourself. You might find it helpful to read sections out of order, take notes, reread multiple times, skim or skip certain parts, and pause to look up terms in our glossary. As you gain experience, you’ll develop a reading approach that works best for you.

Most research papers will be divided into the following sections:

Abstract: Briefly summarizes the research including why it is important, what was done, and what was found.

Introduction: contains all the background information needed to understand the broader context of the research.

Methods: clearly outlines how the research was carried out.

Results: describes what was found in detail, sometimes using tables and figures (graphs, illustrations, or diagrams).

Discussion: makes connections to other research and interprets the meaning of the results.

Conclusion: reinforces major takeaways and states their significance beyond the paper.

Not all papers are freely accessible; for some, you may only be able to view the abstract. If you want to read the full text of a restricted paper, Open Access Button is a tool that can direct you to a free copy or help you request it from the author. Alternatively, you can email the author directly, as many are open to sharing their work upon request.
