How to read IEEE papers?

IEEE papers are always a cumbersome task to understand. There is always an easy way to understand the concepts. Always, these kind of technical papers will come with Mathematics, Formulae and assumptions to make you confuse. This blogs is written to help those people who finds it difficult to understand research/technical papers.

In my personal experience, First read the ‘Abstract’ of the paper which is in the first page this gives you fairly a glimpse of ‘what the paper is all about?’. It gives you a summarized version of the paper.

Second, read the ‘Introduction’ of the paper which tells you ‘how the author is going to tell you the concepts’. Introduction also focuses on each section and its importance.

Third, read the ‘Conclusion’ of the paper. By now, You should have a fair knowledge of what the author is conceptually injecting in this paper.

Later, Go into the ‘Sections’ in the paper. Which will deal with the in-depth concepts and also, the comparisons etc., with mathematics, formulae etc., Don’t get carried away by so many graphs, formulae and maths inside. Just Skim through the topic once to understand first. A thorough understanding of the paper can be absorbed only after 3 complete reads.
