Guys, Sharing some experiences of my Ph.D. Journey:

1. KEYWORDS AND TITLE - Look at the paper's keywords and title. If not interesting, stop.
2. ABSTRACT - Next, go through the abstract carefully.
3. CONCLUSION – Read the conclusion section without reading the earlier sections. Conclusions should be relevant to your scenario. Determine whether it is worthwhile to devote time to the paper.
4. MAIN ESSENTIALS : Look at the tables, graphs, and captions. It will inform you of the essentials and the authors' most important things. Decide whether or not you want to dig in.
5. INTRODUCTION - why did the authors conduct this study? What was the problem, and what was proposed?
6. DISCUSSIONS AND RESULTS ANALYSIS- Review the conclusion and discussion sections. This section contains the bulk of the paper.
7. EXPERIMENTS - Now navigate to the experimental section to see what the writers accomplished and how they accomplished it.
8. NOTES - Once you've finished reading the document, you may pause. Nonetheless, takes notes in excel. This will benefit you in the long run. It will indicate which publications you should utilize as baselines.

HAPPY READING !!

Assumption - You have don the scientific literature analysis beforehand and you are ready to write the paper.

1. Don't procrastinate;
2. Review the notes and renew the literature search;
3. Determine who your audience is - most likely reviewers, so get their concerns firstly addressed; journals;
4. Create the outline and get the big picture done, i.e., complete the first draft while resisting the temptation to correct and edit as you go; the logical sequence of data/tables/figures may be the outline; while writing the first draft, take notes indicating what references might be needed and would be about, but don't stop to collect the references;
5. Begin with the easier part of the task - experimental section rather then the introduction; then follows the results and discussion section;
6. Then comes the really hard part - critical editing where you make sure that the English is coherent and the science is correct;
7. Write the conclusion in a numbered format;
8. Then comes the abstract and the acknowledgements;
9. Now comes the introduction, the two most important things to address in which are the purpose and relevant background;
10. Then collect the references.

HAPPY WRITING !!
