How to Quickly and Effectively Read the Most Important Research in Your Field
As a researcher, you are likely aware of the many challenges associated with trying to read all of the literature in your area of expertise. You might want to stay on top of any new developments in your research area, or you may wish to enhance the background of your upcoming studies by providing a strong and current literature review. You might also want to generate new ideas for future studies by looking at the current literature for any gaps that need to be addressed. In your work, you will likely find that searching for and reading all of these articles takes up a lot of your time, and that it's becoming increasingly difficult to narrow your search so you can access the most pertinent research articles in your field. Here, I will discuss some of the ways that you can enhance your ability to find and read your research articles quickly and effectively without missing important publications.

Career Services

I was in the airport the other day flipping through magazines when I experienced an epiphany about how to get a job. More often than not, magazines have a feedback section where readers comment on stories and articles that were featured in the previous issue. In other instances, there is a "Letter to the Editor" column where reader emails are addressed. In either case, the person commenting in the magazine are often cited by their name, email and (in fewer cases) their website address.
Why not find a magazine that speaks to the industry you work in, and send in a well thought out comment or rebuttal to someone that was published in the last issue? In your response, ask the publisher to cite your email address and link to your personal website. If you do not have a website, the next best thing is to link to one of your social network profiles.
