Skimming is defined as the reading strategy in which the reader undertakes a quick or rapid reading of the text to get a general idea of the content/material. It involves rapid eye movement to quickly move through the text and understand the overall tone and impression provided by the specific content. It assists in determining whether the entire text must be read or not especially while conducting a research and also to know how a specific source is distinct from the other. Thus, taking a 'quick look over text to get a general idea of the content' is characterized as 'skimming.'
