Description
Sometimes it’s difficult to see the wood from the trees (or rather when
doing a PhD the salient facts from the less immediately useful
information in the pile of papers you need to read). This short workshop
is a mixture of discussion and practical exercises. It is designed to
help you pick out the important points in a research paper and come to a
conclusion about their significance.

The course covers:

- a review of the common structures of research papers
- techniques for identifying key features to look for in research papers
- cover different approaches and techniques that can be used to
summarise papers
- discuss how to critique papers
