Writing an article review is an assignment
that requires a lot of attention to detail.
It also requires critical thinking and
analytical skills.
Unlike other kinds of academic writing,
article reviews are meant to evaluate and
summarize an author's work. This task is
often difficult because of its complexity.
Introduction
An article review is a critical analysis
of an article and a critical evaluation of
the author’s research. It summarizes
the article’s main points, ideas, and
arguments. It also discusses the positive
aspects of the work and the negative aspects,
gaps, contradictions, or unanswered
questions.
The article review's introduction
identifies the research's source, introduces
its importance, and explains why it is
essential. It should also establish a purpose
or thesis statement for the review.
Ideally, the introduction should not
include too many facts about your research
subject area that your target readers would
know. Instead, you should use keywords from
your title to help focus your readers’
attention on your research and avoid
overstating facts that might be obvious to
them.
When previewing an article, look at the
title and abstract, the introduction, the
headings, the opening sentences of each
paragraph, and the conclusion. This will help
you quickly grasp the article's general idea
and critical points.
Body
The body of your article review should
consist of a summary and critique. Your paper
should be objective and well-organized,
ensuring that all the ideas and arguments are
well-supported by proof and thoughtful
reasoning.
To prepare the body of your paper, you
need to read the article and highlight the
main points you want to discuss. After this,
you can create a preliminary outline for your
article review and refine it later.
To start, you need to identify the article
by writing its title, author name, resource
(journal, website, etc.), and year of
publication. A proper citation should follow
this information in your citation style.
Conclusion
Conclusions are an essential component of
any good piece of writing. They help give it
a final polished look and can even be why
readers remember your work for years.
Your conclusion should include a synthesis
of the key points made throughout the
article. It should also provide a place to
reflect on the evidence presented in the
paper and offer recommendations about how
future research could be conducted.
This section should always begin by
reminding your reader about the research
problem you have addressed throughout the
body of your paper. Then, you should
highlight some of the most important findings
that have advanced a new understanding of
your research problem, have uncovered
unexpected results, or have a significant
application to practice.
It should also address the negative
aspects of your research process that you
have identified and reported in the results
section of your paper. These are the most
critical elements to consider and should be
included in your conclusion.
References
A good article review requires a lot of
research. You must look for references from
reliable sources such as journals and other
academic writings.
The first step is to read the article
several times, making notes of the central
points and facts in the text. Then, you can
start writing an outline based on your
collected information and your interpretation
of the article.
You should only include essential claims
and information about the article in this
outline. You should not have any superficial
opinions or your reaction.
Once you finish the outline, you should
review it to eliminate everything unnecessary
or unimportant. It will help you write the
actual paper better and more efficiently.
