      Abstract+conclusions is the sweet spot.

      This makes me think that given some particular article, the only people that would ever read it in its entirety are its authors and (maybe) a couple reviewers.

        My preferred reading order: Abstract > conclusion > results > discussion / analysis > methods > background > introduction
