Article Review: An article review is a critical evaluation of an article. To write an article review, you select and read an article carefully, and summarize the author’s main ideas and research findings. You then provide your own evaluation and critique based on your analysis of the article and your knowledge of the topic.
Students will select one of the four articles listed below to review. To select an article, I suggest you read the abstract and introduction of each article and choose the article that is of interest to you, and you understand.
Use APA headings to address each of the following:
Purpose – What is the main idea/what problem is being investigated? Why is this issue important?
Theoretical basis – Do authors present new ideas, apply ideas from one setting to another, borrow ideas from another discipline? (Ex: Human Resource Management, Organizational Behavior, etc)
Research Design- what sample was utilized? how did they collect the data?
Significant Findings – What were the relevant findings? What is the article’s major contribution to the literature? What are the theoretical/practical implications?
Strengths & Weaknesses – What is the primary strength of the paper? What are its major shortcomings?
Additional Research – What additional research would you recommend being beneficial for practitioners to utilize?
Discussion Question – Provide one question that comes to mind after reading your article that you believe would be interesting for the class to discuss.
