For new readers, please read the “Pinned Post” at the top of this Substack’s Home Page, and titled Why Use Public Peer-Review to Write a Book? - “See for Yourself”.
For returning readers & subscribers, this post presents the revised version of: Volume 1 – Part V: Section #4.8: Template for Reading Research Papers (Methodology: The “Ecological Rationality” of Analytical Programs)
Summary:
After the First Step for in the process for reading research papers (see Volume - Part V: Section #4.2: One-Page Summary), continue with the Second Step by taking notes for all levels of analysis in the Template, and for all parts of the paper. The chart shown in the attached pdf, based on Carlo Cipolla’s “Basic Laws of Human Stupidity”, comes from Volume 1 – Part II: Making Good Individual Decisions. The combination of the qualitative & quantitative in Cipolla’s chart becomes the “Enhanced Cipolla-chart”, and its matching process-matrix based on Boyd’s “OODA Loop”. This chart and matrix help us identify the match, the “Ecological Rationality”, between a paper’s “Purpose”, and the analytical programs that it uses.
