How to Take Notes on the Article
There are a few major ways to take notes, but this is a personal style choice. Try different ways, but use the one that fits you best. Below are some suggestions for note-taking:
Pay attention to what each section is about. The Abstract, Discussion, and Conclusion sections usually have the most important information.
Take notes while you are reading (that way you don't have to go back and re-read it when you write your paper)
Write summarizing notes for main points (in the margin, or on a separate piece of paper)
Highlight only very important quotes or terms
