How to grasp scientific texts
Start by reading the middle third; usually the first third is elementary stuff, and the last third often is the author’s ‘obsessions’.
Read the keyword list. The most important keywords will have the most page references. Concepts, that are named after a person, are usually important too. If you can, compare keyword lists from different books about the same subject; the most important keywords will be in all the lists.
Use the table of contents (and the keywords) to make a mind map, probably easier with pen and paper than on the computer 😀 .
Next, read the summaries.
But most imporrtant: Always notice what you don’t understand.
At last -the links 😀
Here’s a blog with some more ideas, and a mindmap gallery. Some of them are just collections of buzzwords, while others are interesting.
The blog link you provided comes up empty with a 404 error. I crawled your keywords (Tags) “Mind maps” and “Scientific texts” in advanced Google search to 200 deep and found nary a point at your blog here. I myself find SEO perplexing and I had so hoped I finally met someone who was guru level keyword/tag master.
Your advice and expertise at all things scientific blogging apparently needs revision or polish. I couldn’t make it work either.
I had my hopes up that you would be a mentor to follow.
Oh well, I will keep on looking and stumbling thru the SEO wasteland. :love:
