How to read an academic paper
Just as you wouldn’t read a website or newspaper in the same way that you would read a novel, there are both efficient and inefficient ways to read academic papers. Learning to read a new kind of material is hard work, and you should try to adapt your reading style to accommodate the characteristics of the medium. It might take some time to find a reading style or method which works best for the individual, but some general guidelines are broadly applicable. We present a list of online references from a computer science perspective which may help you adjust more quickly to the reading task at hand:
- Advice on Reading Academic Papers by Aaron Massey
- Reading a Computer Science Research Paper by Philip W. L. Fong
- How to Read a Paper by S. Keshav
- How to Read a Computer Science Research Paper by Amanda Stent
- How to Read an Academic Paper, lecture given by Dan Casas on 28/04/2016
How to Write an Academic Paper
Academic writing is similarly different from other forms of writing. We present a list of online references which may help you write your reports:
- Hints for Writing a Seminar Report, a Papers, or a Thesis by Philipp Slusallek
- Write Good Papers and Notes on writing by Frédo Durand
- Modern myths – Shortcomings in scientific writing by Jean-luc Doumont
- How to write a good CVPR submission by Bill Freeman
How to Give an Academic Presentation

(This list is mostly general, so it is widely applicable.)
