[qumpis]

A bit offtopic, but: I have a problem with research papers. There are many of they and they are relevant. I've gotten quite good in digesting them in detail, which usually requires reproducing all the notation/theorems and key ideas from scratch.

But I can't do more shallow reviews, I always have the feeling that I'm missing something out, and I won't get intuitive understanding of a paper.

Is there a good heuristic/middle ground of consuming such information?
