What is this resource?
This resource contains a 50-minute podcast and accompanying materials to support students and academics with reading academic journal articles, with a focus on Open Science tools in publishing. The podcast outlines a 6 stage process that can be used with any journal article from any discipline. The podcast can be downloaded as an MP4. A PDF of the podcast, which includes active links to relevant sources on the web, is also available. In addition, there is a blank journal scrapbook which can be used to record reading.
Who will find this resource helpful?
If you find it difficult to read journal articles because you get lost, or forget your purpose, or if you have no reading purpose (for example, you've been told to read it for your studies), this guide will help you take a structured approach.
