I read through the articles because of a few reasons. One of them is the ease of retrieving information. From the explicit abstracts found before introducing some articles, it is possible to have a glimpse of what the entire article is about. This is unlike the books or web articles without this indispensable section. Most importantly, a majority of articles present researched data and information that one can easily comprehend. Besides the articles, I browsed through the books and web pages and. My main aim of looking into the content of some of the sources in other sets other than the articles was to find the sources that I can use to get credible information in the shortest time possible. It was also crucial that I get a thorough understanding of the facts discussed and possible biases.
For the articles in the set, I skimmed and scanned through all of them to get a rough idea about how informative each of them was. After scanning and skimming, I searched keywords to see how each of them was used and the sentences they appeared in. After the above few undertakings, I extensively read through the articles. It was much easier to comprehend the information given that I had a general overview of what they entail before doing a thorough reading.

One of the significant changes made to reading is skimming and scanning before extensively reading through the articles. Initially, I would read through the introduction and conclusion to understand what the sources were about. Skimming and scanning are instrumental in capturing information that might be present in a text’s body paragraphs but not fully explored in either the introduction or conclusion.
The article by Hubbard
& Dunbar (2017) on ‘ Perceptions of scientific research literature and strategies for reading papers depend on academic career stage’ was most challenging to read because of the presentation of information. It is a long paper with highly detailed sections. To point out facts that one aims at obtain, there is a need to keenly read through a given section, which could have to be repeated multiple times.
