#2I absolutely love this paper.
Its counterpart is Kording and Mensh, “Ten Simple Rules for Structuring Papers.” doi.org/10.1101/088278
And the strategies outlined in both ought to be taught much more rigorously, and at an earlier stage in an education, than they currently are.

#3guess this article/approach is still useful/helpful even AI could help do a good summary... thanks for sharing...

#5That's a long list of supporting organisations/institutions for a somewhat trivial paper.

someone removed 1 karma for my comment above, could you explain why? thanks. haha

#7I think the time estimates depend heavily on the field. A mathematician recently told him that it would take him 1-2 weeks (with nothing else to do in that time) to digest a paper outside his main area.

I think the lesson from this is reading papers well can help your funding ability.
Because it's such a general paper the author felt they should include all funding and support organizations, not necessarily those that specifically paid for this paper. Better to over-acknowledge than under-acknowledge.

If the paper is well written, the abstract is already the summary you are after. If you are then interested in the details, gpt/AI isn't helping there.

That makes sense. The proof-heavy part is the third pass and part the author says takes the longest (4-5 hours for a beginner). With math papers it's essentially all proof!
