How to Read a Scientific Paper
The video above was created by the librarians at the University of Minnesota Libraries.
Purdue University Libraries has also put together a wonderful tutorial. It was originally created to be an interactive tutorial using flash player, but flash is no longer supported in Chrome browsers. Therefore, you can access a PDF version by clicking on this link.
