Mode of workshop:  IN – PERSON

Description:

Reading research papers is the single largest component of any researcher’s time effort. Beginning researchers and PhD scholars are often overwhelmed by this task and are at a loss. In this workshop, we will discuss approaches to this everyday task. Different research papers need to be approached differently based on their subject matter (engineering/humanities/sciences), their content type (theoretical/empirical/mathematical) and goal of reading (comparison/motivation/education/review).  We will take a look at several example papers and discuss ideal approaches to reading them. We will also discuss some generic strategies for reading research papers that emphasise the difference of this from other media consumption modes (watching a video/reading a book)

Topics Covered

1. Consuming content: Books vs videos

2. Reading technical papers

   Type of paper: Engineering vs science vs social science

   Type of paper: Theoretical vs Experimental

   Reading approaches: multiple pass approach, skim and skip approach,  precision reading approach, reference hunting approach.

3. The hierarchical structure of papers

4. Critiquing without reading the entire paper.

5. Reviewing papers.

 Learning outcomes:

1. Identify the field, content type and goal of reading a research paper.
2. Design strategies for reading the paper based on above identification.
3. Grasp basic template strategies for reading research papers.
