| Apr 11, 2020 at 16:17 | comment | added | Praphulla Koushik | @NoahSchweber I am not sure if I could have written more clearly.. This feeling of introduction and abstract being "cryptic" comes after I read the full article.. I feel may be the author could have said one/two lines extra about some thing in the introduction itself... But I see this is the procedure followed in most of the papers :D | |
| Apr 11, 2020 at 16:16 | comment | added | Carl-Fredrik Nyberg Brodda | I know a colleague who has boxes filled with small, A6 sized, cards on which he writes the generic information about the article (e.g. title, author, year, etc) and then a few notes about the results which he found useful in there. He keeps them sorted in there in various ways -- I really like this offline approach myself, and have tried setting one up myself. The key point about it is that the info he puts in is what he finds interesting or relevant to his own research, not just a summary of the articles. | |

| Apr 11, 2020 at 15:58 | comment | added | YCor | I find your question quite confusing. What is "keep a note of results of a research article"? The article precisely keeps a note of your research. If you mean keeping note of side results, auxiliary proofs, which are not included in the article, please be more explicit. I have no idea what's your point on introductions and abstracts and why you find them "cryptic", if of any relevance. | |
