Your goal is take notes following the above lecture materials on researching and writing an article analysis, and then to put those notes together in a detailed summary and evaluation of the assigned article.The paper itself should follow this order (remember that sections like the Introduction can be longer than one paragraph–you start a new paragraph when you begin a new idea or take on a new perspective!):
1. Introduction
a. Hook: The opening sentences identify the topic and purpose of your paper (avoid using “I will write….” or other first person expressions in APA). While clever or entertaining openings are welcome, they must fit the tone and audience for your work. And so, since you are analyzing this article for other researchers, you would avoid jokes, incendiary remarks or direct quotations unrelated to the topic.
b. Exigence: Once you have identified the topic, what has motivated the researchers to tackle this topic? What are the pressing issues either within the field of study or the public at large that makes this topic of immediate concern?
c. Debate: What are the identified problems or debates that have arisen around this topic, as identified by the authors? How do the researchers see their work fitting into this conversation?
d. Thesis: What is the overall quality of the research done?
2. Summary
a. Background: What information is provided by the literature review about how this topic has been studied? What are the recurring ideas, themes, or methods that have been identified in the literature review?
b. Methodology: How did the researchers undertake their study? How does this method of study fit into the overall history of research provided in the literature review?
c. Results: What does the reader learn from this study? How confident are the researchers in their results? What is the apparent benefit of their research as they have identified in the conclusion?
3. Analysis [the order of strengths and weaknesses will depend on whether you are mostly positive (end with strengths) or mostly negative (end with weaknesses) of the article’s quality]
a. Limitations: What are the identified limitations or problems listed by the authors? How accurate or reliable are the identified limitations?
b. Strengths: What does the research study and report do well in communicating with the audience of the article? How does the article compare positively to other research studies on the subject? (feel free to use articles listed in the literature review as your own source material)
c. Weaknesses: What does the research study and report do poorly in communicating with the audience of the article? How does the article compare negatively to other research studies on the subject? (feel free to use articles listed in the literature review as your own source material)
4. Conclusion: What does the reader learn from the research study? What does the article contribute to the study of the subject? What should future studies investigate?
