Rapid, critical and strategic reading (8 April)
This GRADskills workshops is for research postgraduate students and early-career research staff from any discipline, and is designed specifically for researchers who are interested in developing their literature analysis skills.
With over 30,000 journals and nearly three million academic papers being published each year it can be challenging for researchers to read and assess all of the relevant literature; there are now tools to annotate papers as you read which can save you time and allow you to share your notes with others. The workshop will also cover how to get the most out of journal club sessions: understanding the aims, what your supervisor expects, tackling interdisciplinary papers and how to ask pertinent questions that stimulate discussion. We will cover the key aspects to critiquing a paper, how to extract the main points and techniques to optimise your time.
