Word for "studying a research article to get the most out of it"? [duplicate]

From the Word web dictionary:

Study: Consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to discover essential features or meaning

Particularly, I am looking for a word (synonym of 'study') which describes reading the research literature thoroughly (e.g. in order to review it), and getting the most out of it.

Actually I am writing a proposal for a software application to search and read research literature. So I want to say that it will be designed and optimized in a way that you can get the most out of reading the research articles (because of features like highlighting terms of interest, e.g. highlighting all names of cars in an article about different automobile manufacturers).

So I want a word used in this kind of meaning/context. Any suggestions are welcome.

Edit: I just applied bold format to the part of the question which describes why it is different from the other question, i.e. a part of my question is that the word/phrase should describe that there are features available to get the most out of the reading experience.

Solution 1:

I like @BeansnLeaves' peruse the best, but since in recent decades that word has developed a secondary sense at odds with its original meaning, it creates a certain risk of ambiguity.

If your context can't bear that slight risk, an alternative which is less succinct but also less likely to be misunderstood is close-reading.

This term has a very specific meaning in certain academic disciplines (specifically, litcrit), but its conventional meaning is precisely "consider in detail and subject to an analysis", what you are looking for.

For example, Dr. Wheeler of Carson-Newman University defines it thus:

To do a close reading, you choose a passage and analyze it in fine detail, as if with a magnifying glass.

Solution 2:

Possibly pore over

to make a close intent examination or study (of a book, map, etc) ⇒ he pored over the documents for several hours

Collins

Solution 3:

Analyze definitely implies thoroughness:

Analyze:

to study (something) closely and carefully

to learn the nature and relationship of the parts of (something) by a close and careful examination
