Thanks, Krabbyos! You’re right. I should have fact-checked that rather than repeating second-hand verbal information. I will update the post.

Thanks!
At least the top hits that you point to on Google Scholar seem like they’re going for something slightly different than what I’m doing here though: They seem to talk about how to write a formal literature review paper or section of a dissertation. I’m trying to describe a process for getting familiar with an entirely new field, even though you might not be publishing a paper as a result of your literature review. I’m also trying to write something that’s a little bit more friendly and pragmatic than what usually gets published in academic journals.
Some of the work you link to in “how to read a scientific paper” are more similar in style to what I’m going for, and I would probably have benefitted from looking at those earlier in my graduate school career.
I added a note in the post to acknowledge this feedback. Thank you for reading and commenting!
