As undergrad, I struggled immensely with this: reading and omg understanding papers.
Especially as non-native English speaker.
I did develop a system that helped me back then.
Bear with me it is pretty...mundane. 1/n

I printed each paper. And while reading I used a yellow, a green, and a pink highlighter.
When reading, I labeled every first mention of an abbreviation in green.
This helped me to find their meaning quickly again when deep into the text.

In pink, I labeled key questions and take-home messages.
If done correctly, you can look at pink sentences alone and recap the whole paper.
Peo-rip: first and last sentences of paragraphs often are pink sentences.
Pro-tip 2: write papers that have pink sentences.
