Why Bother Reading the most recent Research When Online Tech Magazines Summarize It All?
Reading popular tech magazines and high tech magazines online saves lots of time. No one has the time to go through each of the scientific journals and read papers on every subject. Research papers are produced now such mass quantity, and frequently universities and researchers are doing the same types of studies getting similar results, and all of their papers is published in a separate or different journal.

Last week someone had given me hook critique and told me that the knowledge I had on various subjects was not as good as his because he read the actual scientific journals, and I only read the tech magazines summaries. That isn't exactly true, I read both, however the summary type articles in a much higher percentage of course. Okay so, let's explore Additional info for a second shall we?

First, there is absolutely no way that certain individual can read all the scientific journals in every the different regions of science. Therefore by him only reading the scientific articles and those journals he is limited in the quantity of information he consumes. Further, easily read and scan hundreds of tech magazines summaries each day I can follow each of the regions of science, and anything notable that catches the eye of a science writer. Indeed, in explaining this to my acquaintance he dismissed my notion, but I also told him that I could always research the scientific research in the Journal if I read something that I needed to pursue further.

Now then, should you be working in a very limited niche of science then perhaps you get aggravated reading a few of the tech magazines summaries. Usually the writers get it wrong, or don't grasp the topic they are writing about. And because you know a lot about the individual niche subject matter it is possible to spot mistakes right away. I noted that those research folks often leave comments explaining how a popular magazine science writer got it wrong, and what the paper actually says, and what the research indeed means.

Still, to get into that discussion and debate, that is also online in those popular magazine science articles, you will need to go and read them, and then read the comments in the bottom. Once you read a scientific journal, you might or may not obtain the follow up comments before next issue. It seems the tech articles are a better way to communicate through summarizing. I'm sure even when you read actual journal articles you'll admit that you do a great deal of skipping and skimming as time is valuable, which means you are actually only reading be summary, conclusion, and abstract anyway - so what's the difference?

For those of us that need to know a lot about a lot of things, it appears to me that reading these summaries in the popular magazines or in the online news is probably the better way to go. So, I hereby completely dismiss the critique of these who are not of the same view. Please consider all of this and think onto it.
