When researching, read through your sources twice: once to understand the author’s purpose and argument, and a second time to evaluate the argument.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Typically, you will need to read sources twice to get a complete picture of what they say and how you can use them
Your first reading should focus on understanding the source’s argument. Start by looking for the topic and the thesis, then consider the author ‘s stated purpose and the evidence he or she uses to support the argument.
Your second reading should focus on whether you agree or disagree with the source, and whether you have any commentary that you would like to make about the author’s argument.
Reading scientific articles requires a different strategy than reading a newspaper article or textbook: you should skim the text, compare the hypothesis to the conclusion, identify key terms and visual aids, and then read the article closely for content.
Hope this answer helps you a lot
