How to Read a Paper, Tricia Greenhalgh
This is chiefly useful if you’re planning on reading papers in order to apply them to a medical context: it basically teaches you how to use the concepts of evidence-based medicine. However, it can also be useful for those who have to read papers in general, because there is a good discussion of how to read the statistics without getting overwhelmed and weirded out — and it has some hints about what to watch out for in terms of poor methodology and bad data manipulation.
It’s a slow read, of course, but it’s a worthwhile one if that sounds like something you might need to apply in your work or study!
