如果想更好的理解课堂或者学术会议内容，或者紧跟行业中的最新动态，亦或者想对新领域有所了解，花费大量时间阅读论文变成了一个必修课。而S.Keshav的《How to Read a Paper》可能是最好的入门。这篇不仅提供如何读一篇论文的方法，同时也提供了如何查找一篇论文及写作论文等后续工作的建议。
Three-pass 方法
~ First-pass: A quick scan to get a bird’s-eye view of the paper.
Four Steps
Carefully read the title, abstract, and introduction
Read the section and sub-section headings, but ignore everything else
Read the conclusions.
Glance over the references, mentally ticking off the ones you’ve already read
Five Cs:
Category: What type of paper is this? A measurement paper? An analysis of an existing system? A description of a research prototype?
Context: Which other papers is it related to? Which theoretical bases were used to analyze the problem?
Correctness: Do the assumptions appear to be valid?
Contributions: What are the paper’s main contributions?
Clarity: Is the paper well written?
通过first-pass，判断一篇论文值不值得读: “This could be because the paper doesn’t interest you, or you don’t know enough about the area to understand the paper, or that the authors make invalid assumptions.”
~ Second-pass: Read the paper with greater care, but ignore details such as proofs.
Look carefully at the figures, diagrams and other illustrations in the paper.
Remember to mark relevant unread references for further reading
通过second-pass，总结文章主体内容以及相关论据: “Summarize the main thrust of the paper, with supporting evidence, to someone else”
~ Third-pass: Attempt to virtually re-implement the paper: that is, making the same assumptions as the authors, re-create the work.
Use an academic search engine (Google Scholar or CiteSeer)
Find shared citations and repeated author names in the bibliography and download the key papers, then go to the websites of the key researchers and see where they’ve published recently.
The website for these top conferences and look through their recent proceedings
If you’re planning to write a technical paper, you should refer both to Henning Schulzrinne’s comprehensive website and George Whitesides’s excellent overview of the process.
