• WTD:What the Dissertation Does(论文的目标)
  • SPL:Summary of Previous Literature(文献综述)
  • CPL:Critique of Previous Literature(文献评述)
  • GAP:Gaps in the Literature(文献空白)
  • RAT:Theoretical Framework(理论框架)
  • ROF:Research Outcomes(研究结果)
  • RFW:Recommendations for Future Work(未来研究方向)

  • 读15-20篇专业文献:能初步了解某个领域

  • 读50-100篇专业文献:才有可能开始做研究

一、long-term advice

  • 保持一周读几篇文献的习惯
  • Keep steady reading, but not short burst

二、推荐每篇论文读四遍

  • 第一遍:读title + abstract + figures
  • 第二遍:读Intro + conclusion + figures + skim the rest (skim related - work)
  • 第三遍:read but skip/skim math
  • 第四遍:read the whole but skip parts that do not make sense

三、读文献时要弄明白四个问题

  1. What did authors try to accomplish?
  2. What were the key elements of the approach?
  3. What can you use yourself?
  4. What other references do you want to follow?

四、文献来源

  1. Twitter
  2. 相关领域网站
  3. 专业论坛
  4. Friends

五、文献中的数学和代码

  1. Math:

  2. Retrieve from scratch

  3. Code:

  4. Run open-source code
  5. Reimplement from scratch
