Reviewing an Article
By Dr. Peter Bailey, Wilmington University
A review of an article is your evaluation of an article’s strengths, weaknesses, and validity. You are informing readers of the article’s value through explanation, interpretation, and analysis. You must provide information that will allow the reader to make a value judgment about the article. The following describes how to write an article review:
Reviews should begin with a full bibliographic citation (author, the title of the journal article, name of the journal, volume, issue, date of publication, pages).
Your review should summarize the article and critique it on the information it gives you.
What is the purpose of the article (main points – major theme)?
Critique means your substantiated opinion of the article, including one possible use in your employment environment.
What are the strengths, weaknesses, and validity of the article?
Does the author accomplish her/is objective? Does the author do what she/he has set out to do?
Spelling. Good grammar and neatness count!
If you quote the author, use appropriate APA style quotations and citations but quote very sparingly.
Since this is a review of one article, no page citations are necessary.
Running head – your name and name of the article in the header on each page
Reviews should be 2-3 pages in length and only include one article per review.
