How do you succinctly say that you are going to skip ahead past the next
section or paragraph for time's sake and tell the audience which spot you are
picking up again when reading a paper aloud at an academic conference?

I believe that there is a Japanese phrase that's a sort of set phrase (though
different people might word it slightly differently) of about 1 sentence long,
which includes the word 「飛ぶ」or「飛んで行きます」 ("fly past" or "jump over" the next
bit) and tells the listeners the first couple words of the sentence where you
will start up reading aloud again. I think the phrase translates to something
like, "I'm going to 'fly past' the next section and resume reading at [the 2nd
paragraph of page 3, starting from, 'さらに、']." I heard it used 2 years ago so
my memory of how this was expressed is fuzzy.

If there is not a standard phrase for this, how can I say it very succinctly
(and quickly)?

set-phrases politeness phrase-requests jargon academic-japanese
In Japanese, how do you say you will skip ahead past one section for time's sake while reading aloud to an audience?
時間の関係で1節飛ばします might be a plain expression, but...

What occasion have you got in mind? Your dissertation defense, say? In that
case more polite expressions will be preferable.

*** added *** You will read your paper at a conference? Then

> 時{じ}間{かん}の関{かん}係{けい}で、次{じ}節{せつ}は割{かつ}愛{あい}させて戴{いただ}き、第{だい}x節{せつ}に移{うつ}ります
> (where "x" is the section where you are to jump to.)

would be much better.

「[割愛]{かつあい}」 is a formal word so appropriate to use in a formal situation as
suggested by eltonjohnさん.

「[飛]{と}ばす」and 「[省略]{しょうりゃく}する」 have similar meanings, but 「割愛する」 is more
appropriate in this case, because 「割愛」 is formal and has a special nuance for
it. While 「飛ばす」 and 「省略する」 simply mean "omit", 「割愛する」 means "I do not want to
omit [this/it/etc] but now I need to due to the inevitable reason, so I omit
[this/it/etc] for this time".

Here are some examples of sentences using 「割愛する」 in a colloquial context in a
formal situation.

>
> 「[時間]{じかん}の[関係]{かんけい}[上]{じょう}（／[都合]{つごう}[上]{じょう}）、[内容]{ないよう}の[一部]{いちぶ}を[割愛]{かつあい}させていただく[場合]{ばあい}がございますが、ご[了承]{りょうしょう}いただければと[思]{おも}います」（If
> the speaker says this at the beginning, s/he does not have to mention the
> time matter after that.）

>
> 「[続]{つづ}きまして（イ）がございますが、[本日]{ほんじつ}は時間の関係上、[割愛]{かつあい}させていただきます。[次]{つぎ}の２ページに[参]{まい}りまして（ウ）からとなりますが、……」（If
> the speaker mentions the time matter at the point s/he does the first 割愛,
> s/he does not have to mention the time matter after that.）

> 「続きまして、３ページ[目]{め}に[移]{うつ}りまして（エ）がございますが、こちらは割愛させていただきまして、（オ）に参ります」

> 「[次]{つぎ}の（カ）は割愛させていただきまして、５ページ目の（キ）に参ります」

> 「（ク）は割愛いたします。次の（ケ）でございますが、……」

> 「（コ）は割愛いたしまして、（サ）に参ります」

A [敬語]{けいご} form of 「飛ばす」 is 「飛ばさせていただきます」. Here is an example of the usage.

>
> 「おめくりいただきまして、[次]{つぎ}の７ページからは（シ）となっておりますが、９ページまで[飛]{と}ばさせていただきまして、（ス）に[参]{まい}りたいと[思]{おも}います」

Each of （イ）〜（ス） above represents the sectional title or a brief
account/summary of the part which will be omitted. Because the speaker thinks
that the part is still important although s/he omits it this time, s/he does
not forget to present what the omitted part is about, especially when using
「割愛」.

However, there are many Japanese people who don't know the original meaning
of「割愛する」 and think that the meaning of the word is "omit an unnecessary part".
According to
『[平成23年度「国語に関する世論調査」の結果について](http://www.bunka.go.jp/tokei_hakusho_shuppan/tokeichosa/kokugo_yoronchosa/pdf/h23_chosa_kekka.pdf)』
published in [文化庁 official
website](http://www.bunka.go.jp/tokei_hakusho_shuppan/tokeichosa/kokugo_yoronchosa/),
the percentage of Japanese people who understood the original meaning was
17.6% and 65.1% Japanese people believed the "unnecessary"-version meaning.

Anyway, although people understand the meaning of the word differently, the
ways to use the word 「割愛」 are almost same in most cases. It's still a formal
word, and people use 「割愛」 in a formal situation. If the speaker uses the word
「割愛」, the listeners would think that the speaker is trying to omit it
politely.
