There are many ways to learn a new paper, or a new concept or a new book.
For me , the method is pretty straightforward. I need understand them, then I can say I know them.
How to understand a new concept, or a new paper, or a new book?
1. Read something general about them. The something means easy, simple introduction. Or have a quick reading about the paper or the book.
2. Mark the new word you do not understand.
3. Make an analysis: how many new words? new concepts? They are the elements you should learn and fully understand. Because authors or inventors want to use them to construct their system/world. If you do not know or understand these elements, how can know more about the final building (the book or paper, or a new concept)?
4. Trying to connect your old knowledge to these new words. Why they are created? What is new?
How is different from the old? Remember, nothing is totally new. There is always something old you know inside, if not all.
5. Learn to use all these new elements to build something new. And compare to the authors' results. See if you can do something they already did. If not, probably you do not understand it at all or just part of it.
6. Empty yourself. Do not think it does not work, or why it is so hard to understand. The new concept must be meaningful if they appear in this world. DO NOT let your brain being lazy and brand new. Otherwise you will be left behind by the world.
