AB This  book  intends  to  equip  you  with  a  foundational  knowledge  of  landmark  articles  in  general  surgery.  The  introductory  chapter,  “Finding  Answers,”  provides  tools  with  which  to  conduct  literature  searches  and  identify  high-impact  articles.  In  this  chapter,  we  describe  a  method  for  reading  and  interpreting  journal  articles  in  order  to  apply  them  to  your  clinical  practice.  Whether  you  are  reading  a  landmark  study  within  a  field,  running  a  literature  search  to  answer  a  clinical  question,  or  scanning  an  interesting  abstract  in  the  latest  issue  of  a  journal,  assessment  of  the  literature  requires  a  logical  and  systematic  approach  to  reading  scientific  manuscripts.  The  following  discussion  outlines  key  questions  to  consider  when  reading  each  section  of  a  journal  article.
