Reading science and scientific literature, some articles for you to skim, parse, or review (KE's guide):

• Guidance for health professionals and physicians in 2009 "Critical Appraisal of Scientific Literature" -- all will appreciate the clarity, conciseness, and document design of the abstract.  This table is particularly useful also.  Note: you can seek out two other related articles, as this is the first of three.
• This open access guide to writing a literature review can help you read a literature review.
• In 2016, AAAS (do you know what that is?) published a series on reading scientific literature. In this piece, be sure to look at the summaries of how different scientists approach their reading.

A.I., a student who recently took the DAT, suggests that you consider learning about the Search and Destroy close reading method.  Additional note from A.I., she thinks that the ABT -- and, but, therefore -- structure could help you prep for job or grad/prof school interviews.  I agree!
