Research Assistant

I have recently started working as a research assistant and I have enjoyed it thus far. My job is to go through scientific articles and journals regarding life as a post-doctoral graduate. I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment about how many articles I have to go through and am hoping that my supervisor will allow me to have part of winter break to complete this.

I am very excited to have this opportunity and have learned so much. I never would have imagined that I would be able to help out a professor. Anyone have any helpful tips for reading and analyzing scientific journals fairly quickly?

Thanks.
