How to read an academic paper?


Try to answer the following questions when reading a paper.
1.             What is the problem?
2.             What is the current state of the art of the problem?
3.             What are the key make-a-difference (new) method and/or technique?
4.             What are good/bad of the method/technique?
5.             What has actually been done?
6.             What is the future work?

If you are still interested in the paper, then:

7.             Are assumptions reasonable?
8.             Is the method similar to other methods in the related work?
9.             Is the improvement significant?
10.        Are the arguments logically sound?
11.        Are the evaluation metrics reasonable?
12.        Is the conclusion drawn logically from the results of the measurements?
