Hi everyone!

So on Friday I have been told I have to write another lit review! OK. Just stay calm! :-) I've read all your great tips and now it's time to check them in real life! Thanks for your help!

Quote From dr_wannabe:

Hi all,
I'm into my 5th month now and I've had to read heaps of papers as you can imagine... does anyone else forget what they read? It freaks me out that supposedly all this information I'm reading is supposed to be in my head, but at the same time if you ask me to recall something, I really struggle!

More importantly though, there is talk about writing as you go, and my supervisor advised me to have an outline of my literature review and add to it as I read each paper, can anyone clarify on that? How do you go about reading and writing exactly?

Hi, I know your pain! I'm the same! I read something then I need it and don't remember where it was or I just can't recall things. I guess it's because we read a lot! People has written so many tips in here and I think if we write while reading it will help us to remember things! Good luck

Dear All,

I started my PhD in October. So far I did some lab work but primely I had to write a literature review.
I have finished it, but I had a real problem with effective reading, collecting information, etc. At first it was ok, but then when I gathered hundreds of papers I got totally lost. It is just a beginning so I am not panicking, but my supervisor has already told me that I need to write another review soon.
I would like to ask you, if you have any tips how to read papers, make notes, organizing information, etc.
I couldn't find any similar post to that one so I hope it will be helpful for many of us!

Thanks
