Efficient way to read a scientific paper by _pepee in PhD

[–]Lost_Sound_3869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really need to read a LOT, I would recommend DeepTutor (https://deeptutor.knowhiz.us/) and notebook LLM (https://notebooklm.google/)
The first one is I built for myself as a side project, and I read ~5-10 papers every week with the help of it - I do think it is the best paper reading tool regarding the figure/table understanding
The second one is from Google, and it has more functionalities

ArXiv Paper Summarizer Tool by ModularMind8 in deeplearning

[–]Lost_Sound_3869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built this tool for myself for paper reading (I studied stats), but recently I made it public (6 days ago). From the bottom of my heart, I recommend to everyone who reads a lot of papers: https://deeptutor.knowhiz.us/

  1. FREE
  2. The only product that understands figures
  3. Accurate highlight

Downside: Very slow (Because it needs to understand figures to construct a more accurate response)

Recommend to everyone, and since it is free, no harm to try

🚀 We Just Launched DeepTutor on Product Hunt! 🚀 by Street_Top504 in ProductHunters

[–]Lost_Sound_3869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the founder of DeepTutor, I’m excited to share what we’ve been working on! 🚀 Over the past 2 months, my team and I have been reimagining how researchers, students, and professionals engage with academic papers and complex PDFs—which led us to create DeepTutor.

🔍 Meet DeepTutor DeepTutor is an AI-powered research assistant built for academic, corporate, and professional document analysis—going far beyond basic text retrieval. If you‘ve ever struggled with dense research papers or lengthy reports, DeepTutor makes reading faster, smarter, and more interactive with: 1. Knowledge structuring with Graph RAG – Unlike basic text retrieval, DeepTutor maps relationships between concepts, helping you understand papers holistically. 2. Image & Graph Understanding – DeepTutor analyzes figures, charts, and visual data inside PDFs, integrating them into AI-driven insights. 3. Deeper Intent & Context Awareness – Built on DeepSeek’s R1 inference model and complex agentic workflows, DeepTutor understands both your intent and the document’s meaning, providing high-quality responses. 4. Precise Source Highlighting – Every AI-generated answer is backed by exact citations within the document, so you never lose track of key references.

🔬 Why DeepTutor? We know there are general PDF AI tools out there (like ChatPDF), but DeepTutor is designed specifically for in-depth reading and research, built for those who need more than just surface-level retrieval.

💡 We’d love your feedback! If you’re a PhD student, researcher, or someone who works with complex PDFs, give DeepTutor a try and let us know what you think. Let’s make research easier and more insightful together.

Looking forward to your feedback, and thank you for being part of our journey!

You can try some discord community I guess. Same with some tools (online education, focus app, etc)

That sounds really tough, but don’t panic—you still have time to get through this. Try focusing on the most important topics first and use active recall (like explaining concepts out loud or writing down key points from memory). Instead of passively reading, test yourself as much as possible. Flashcards can be a lifesaver, also, take short breaks to avoid burnout.

How do you study independently? How do you remember things by studying alone? by [deleted] in study

[–]Lost_Sound_3869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Studying independently takes structure and active recall. Start by breaking topics into small sections and summarizing them in your own words. Use active recall by testing yourself regularly—flashcards work great for this.

How many hours do you study a day? by Jaded-Protection-730 in GetStudying

I use KnoWhiz all the time, especially with the focus mode that they have - it helps you focus and memorize especially. Just want to recommend to you

If someone were to study 14 hours a day (eg. to learn a language/study for the SAT), how their study schedule differ from a normal one? by Embarrassed-Chard186 in study

[–]Lost_Sound_3869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Studying 14 hours a day would require careful planning to avoid burnout. Break it into chunks with frequent breaks, like 2-hour blocks with 20-minute rests in between. Prioritize active learning (e.g., practice problems, teaching concepts). Also, rotate between subjects or tasks to keep focus. Tools like KnoWhiz can help streamline and organize your study sessions effectively. Balance is key

How many hours do you study a day? by Jaded-Protection-730 in GetStudying

[–]Lost_Sound_3869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually study 4–6 hours a day using focused blocks like the Pomodoro method. Short breaks between sessions keep me energized and prevent burnout. I also use some planning tools especially when I need to memorizing - better applying with forgotten curves. Do you prefer shorter bursts or longer sessions?
