Steps

 
1.   Read the first paragraph or so of the Introduction to get an idea of the issue. Go to the last paragraph to read the hypothesis (claim the paper seeks to prove or disprove.)
2.   Then, read the Results section. You may want to turn to the Discussion section for clarification of what the reported statistics demonstrate. Don’t get bogged down in the details of either the Methods or the Results section, but try to get a good idea of how the hypotheses were tested.
3.   Skim the Discussion to see how the study turned out.
4.   Start with the Abstract for a summary.
5.   Now, go back to the middle part for the details. Read the Methods section carefully and plan to reread it, even a couple of times to digest it all.
6.   Read the Discussion section more closely.
7.   Finally, read the whole article, first page to last page. Re-read for comprehension.
