Read title and abstract first - write a sentence: what is the big question the authors are trying to answer? - then 3-5 summary sentences of the introduction - Cordon off a section for each aim of the paper to fill in 2. Making sure materials and methods are sound so that you know the data is soundly gathered - for each of the cordoned off aims sections, fill in with the methods the authors are using to answer those aims 3. review the results section - look at graphs and tables and make sure you understand what the author is reporting - in cordoned off sections under the methods used for those questions put results for those sections 4. Discussions can be hit or miss - if long winded maybe skim, if not maybe there is some great discourse going on - if there are interesting notes put it under your cordoned off sections
