so uh reading research papers is
essential for researchers to review work
for conference or classes stay updated
in their field or conduct literature
surveys the typical researcher spends
hundreds of hours annually on his task
but efficient paper reading is a skill
that is often learned through trial and
error uh which leads to
frustration and to our rescue comes the
three pass technique which
is a technique in which we are off for a
structured method to read papers
efficiently so we'll go through the
three passes one by one so firstly
covering the first
pass the first pass basically refers to
a quick scan to get a general overview

read through the conclusions and also
check out the

the paper's category what uh category it
belongs to whether it's a measurement
paper or it belongs to another category
related to finance business education
science Etc then we have context so what
is the context that is being covered
then the correctness are the assumptions
that have been made in this paper uh
correct or are they
appropriate and then contributions so we
can just check out the contributions and
the clarity so these are the five C's
that are covered and that we get to know
from the first class if the paper isn't

parts though some parts may remain
unclear prompting a decision to set the
paper aside revisit it later or move on
to the third pass if you want to read it

dive into the paper which requires
several hours for beginners or an hour
