Be sure that you’re using a scholarly journal. This means the article will have an 1) abstract, 2) will list the institutional affiliations of the author(s), and 3) will include a “Reference” section.
Complete each of the following sections by writing a short paragraph or answering the question briefly.
Section
Summarize the introduction/literature review section of the article.
What did the authors expect to find? This is usually found at the end of the introduction. You might find the word “hypotheses,” but if it’s exploratory research, the authors might not use that word.
What kind of research is described in the article?
What procedure did the authors use?
Who were the participants? Be specific.
What did the authors find? The “Results” section can be difficult to understand, but the “Discussion” section is usually more clear and straightforward. You don’t need to cite specific numerical results, just discuss their findings as presented in the “Discussion” section.
What were the strengths of the research? The authors typically address this in the “Discussion” section.
What were the limitations of the research? Again, this is generally in the “Discussion” or “Conclusion” section. More and more, researchers are including a section in research reports called “Limitations.”
What were the conclusions of the researcher(s)?
What is YOUR critique of the research? What did they overlook? What biases do you notice? Were there any ethical issues?
