When doing research, do you skim the text, noting in your mind the subheadings? And if there are no subheadings, do you try to divide the text into sections?

 

Answer:

Yes, it is recommended that you skim the text and note the subheadings in your mind when doing a research summary or ordinary summary. You also divide this into subsections when you do not have the subheadings.

Step-by-step explanation

Skimming helps you understand the overall points of the text and its relevance to your course without slowing you down. It is done in a way that you you ignore the details and look for the main ideas. With research you use skimming to decide if you need to read something at all, for example during the preliminary research for a paper. This can tell you enough about the general idea and tone of the material. This also allows you to peek through the similarity or difference from other sources, without dwelling too long on it.

Diving your paper in subsections will organize your input. This will make your reader/audience understand the paper better. Each section must be according to the subheadings that you want.
