I'm reading some academic papers and would like to remind everyone who needs to read them, how to comprehend them:

Step 1: Read the abstract, and then the introduction if applicable. Take notes.
Step 2: Scroll to the conclusion, read that. Take notes.
Step 3: Start from the beginning again and read every part of it, while taking notes.
