A rare evening of rest, a hiatus in between today's exam and the next one next Monday, and I don't feel like doing anything at all. Just been playing solitaire on the laptop and listening to 动力火车. Ironically I'm at my most free and relaxed now, than at any time during the semester, because I've put my FYP on hold for the exams. For tonight and tomorrow I can chill and bum around without any sense of unease because there's nothing else I'm supposed to be doing.


最近一直在听动力火车的歌,还有齐秦的歌。听着他们的伤心情歌,竟然会意外地感到共鸣。多久以前的事了,却依然记忆犹新。还好,这些回忆并没有很大地影响我的心情。它们就好像巧克力一样,甜中带苦,让我微笑却也让我感到丝丝惆怅。毕竟,我算是已经看破了,虽不算到剃度出家,成仙成佛的地步,却也总算能接受自己以前的过失,无知,单纯。现在,听者,哼着,甚至唱着悲伤情歌也能觉得满爽的。

While trawling the internet for research, I came across this Brochure for the Efficient Reading of Papers in Science and Technology. In just 2 pages, it provides a rather good summary of the technique to read academic papers in general, not just in science and technology. Since we're not explicitly taught how to read papers in school, I think this small brochure is helpful to everyone, even those who might consider themselves good at reading papers (there might be some tips to improve your paper-reading skills).

By the way, anyone know of any papers detailing studies into paper research behavior? I'm looking for numbers like citations encountered vs papers read (eg. you read a paper and it has 20 references, how many of those referred papers do you end up reading?) and papers read vs papers cited (ie. out of all the papers you read, how many do you end up citing in your own report?). Let me know if you have access to such a paper, thanks.
