Tips for reading scientific papers and graphs

1)  "Understanding Research Papers" - p. 8 in the course packet.  
        Use the questions therein to guide your reading.


2) Visit my webpage: Understanding Scientific Articles. which includes information such as:

        "How to read and interpret a graph"
        Resources about how to approach reading scientific articles (e.g., the two-color approach pictured below)
        An introduction to "peer-review" (Unsure what "peer-reviewed" means?)


Above is a visualization of the two-color approach, learn about it here.
