Well, I just started this game this morning and I found out that reading magazines temporally increases my stats. I need to do that to complete some objectives of a quest. The problem is, when I go to m Pip_boy and choose Items, then Aid, I click on the magazine title, and it disappears, but my stats do not improve.

How do I read magazines?

Double-click on it?

The effects do not stack when reading several magazines of the same type. Maybe that's the problem.

Thanks for your replies, but actually, I am trying to read my first magazine, so it's not a matter of stacking. Also, I am clicking on the magazine twice, and then the magazine disaapears from the list, but I don't get a stat boost that I should.

Thanks again for your help. I finally figured it out. I was doing it right, but I didn't realize the stat I wanted to upgrade was already very low, so after I read the magazine, that figure for the stat I saw was already improved, but still too low to accomplish the quest.
