Write this review/critique as if your readers have not read the article you are writing about. Explain it to them in enough detail that they understand the article and your critique of it.
Write a critical summary of a scientific research report. The article must be specific to this course, and will help to make up your literature review for your final research report. The critical summary should be a minimum of 2 pages but longer is more likely and is just fine. You must use your own words. Do not use AI, except to help you understand the article being reviewed, if you need it. Do not quote–it’s not done in APA style!
This critical summary requires that you read and, in your own words, summarize the contents of one peer-reviewed research/experiment journal article. Do not select a meta-analysis or review article. For your summary, in your own words, present their hypothesis, their rationale for their hypothesis and their reasoning, how they conducted their study, what they found, and what they say it means. After you summarize the article, you will then critique the article. Use your critical thinking skills to think about whether or not their methodology actually tested their hypothesis. Were their methods done well, or were there problems with their procedures? In their results and discussion sections, did they interpret their results correctly? What was their reasoning? Was their reasoning correct? How could they have done the research better (if they could have)?
Expect to have to read the article more than once.
SUMMARIZE: Summarize the content and cite the source. What theory are they testing and why? What are the main arguments? What is the point of this scientific article? What is covered? What is the hypothesis? What Methods did they use? What did they conclude about their findings? If someone asked what this article is about, what would you say? The length of your article and its content will determine how detailed your summary. You must use your own words. Do not quote–it’s not done in APA style!
CRITIQUE: After you summarize the article, you will then want to critique the article. Use your critical thinking skills to think about whether or not their methodology actually tested their hypothesis. Were their methods done well, or were there problems with their procedures? Did they forget some potential confounding variables? In their results and discussion sections, did they interpret their results correctly? What was their reasoning about their findings? Was their reasoning correct? How could they have done the research better (if they could have)? Remember about what you have learned in Week 1 about the different Research Designs: Don’t critique sex of subjects or number of subjects unless it truly affects the results testing their hypotheses. Please do not critique writing style, tables or figures, or “missing” sections. That is the journal editor’s job, not ours. Critique content, only. Remember, THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL OPINION. IT IS A SCIENTIFIC CRITIQUE BASED ON METHODOLOGY, LOGIC, SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE, AND REASONING.
Writing a critical review and summary is excellent preparation for a research project. You begin to read more critically instead of just collecting information. At the professional level, these allow you to see what has been done in the literature and where your own research or scholarship can fit. Writing a critical review can help you gain a good perspective on what is being said about your topic. By reading and responding to a variety of sources on a topic, you’ll start to see what the issues are, what people are arguing about, and you’ll then be able to develop your own point of view.
Format: Your essay should be typed, double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5″ x 11″) with 1″ margins on all sides. You should use a clear font that is highly readable. APA recommends using 12 pt. Times New Roman font. For APA style and format details go to: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ and use the information for General Format.
The expectation is for good, formal, scientific, APA Style writing. Good sentence structure and grammar, logical organization of material, and the absence of subjective and informal language are expected. This doesn’t mean use a Thesaurus to find “big 10-dollar words.” But it means to start working towards a professional and scientific writing style. Sample papers are provided.
