Summarize this article:

Whether the science you read is an article, book, or web page, read the text in its entirety.  As you read, pay attention to details.  Write down or make a mental note of things that are confusing or unclear.  Use a highlighter or pen to underline, circle, or highlight facts that can be verified. Verifiable facts are those which are based in objective reality rather than on opinion, conjecture, or unfounded belief. All verifiable science relies on the work of other scientists to establish its credibility and inspire further studies.  One way to verify the science you read is to follow up on the information provided in the study’s footnotes.  Check referenced sources to ensure that their conclusions and statistics match those presented in the scientific literature you’re attempting to verify.  If you’re reading science in a popular publication, sources will be cited in the text rather than in footnotes or endnotes. Non-specialized sources should describe specific studies but might not refer to published peer-reviewed article by name.  They might also refer to certain scientists or authors, or to the titles of scientific journals where relevant publications appeared.  Use this information to track down more information whenever possible. You can also refer to review articles, which summarize all of the previous findings of a particular field. When you're reading through sources, there are some red flags you should look out for that may indicate the source isn't reliable. If you see any of the following red flags, be extra cautious when using the source material: The source hasn't been referenced elsewhere. The author hasn't written anything other than the one source. The author mostly cites themselves. The author's findings haven't been replicated elsewhere.

Summary:
Take note of verifiable facts as you read. Consult referenced data. Look out for red flags.
