Article Review Instructions Overview After Reading

Article Review Instructions Overview After reading through your learn Mat

After reading through your Learn material, you are to pick a topic of interest that was mentioned in the Learn material. Using the Jerry Falwell Library and other scholarly resources, you are to locate a peer-reviewed journal related to the topic of your interest. The journal article should have been published recently (within the past 2-3 years) and should feature material that is directly related to the course material. Read the journal article thoroughly so you can discuss it. If you wish to use something other than a peer-reviewed journal, please consult with your instructor before starting the Article Review.

You will then prepare an article review related to the topic that you researched in the Learn material from the assigned module. The Article Review that you create must be at least 750 words and be formatted according to APA style. Use the following section order to guide you in building your Article Review but do not use the numbers in your section headers, only the names. Also, this example is not in APA style, make sure your review follows APA styles, this is a guide NOT a template.

Paper For Above instruction

Bibliographical Reference: Create a single bibliographical entry in APA style in the first section of your Article Review paper. This should include: author(s) of the article, name of the journal (including volume, issue, year, page numbers, etc.), and the name of the article you are reviewing. Note – You may also choose to identify the article you are reviewing (e.g., “The focus of this review will be ‘Article Name’ published in ‘Journal Name’ in ‘Year/Month’) and then cite it in a bibliographical entry at the end (see section 7).

Objectives: After reviewing the article, use a bulleted list to identify the 3 to 5 primary points you feel the article addresses. Simply put the bulleted list of those points in your Objectives section with a statement such as “After reviewing ‘Article Name,’ the three main points addressed by the author(s) were:” followed by the bullets:

  • Bullet one
  • Bullet two
  • Bullet three

Summary: Summarize the article you reviewed in approximately 2 or 3 full paragraphs. Do not use direct quotes; paraphrase what you read. Use the bullets from section 2b to structure your discussion, covering each point in your summary accordingly.

Results : Reflect on what a reader can learn from the article about the topic. Using bullet points, highlight up to 5 things you learned more about after reading the article. These bullets should not be identical to those in the Objectives section.

Critique : Provide an academic critique of the article: How well was it written? Did it accomplish the objectives set out (see Objectives section)? Why or why not? Support your opinion with additional sources (no more than one or two). When relevant, address the subject matter from a biblical perspective, e.g., “The Bible teaches us...” and relate it to the article’s content.

Questions: List 3 to 5 questions that arose from the article in a numbered list. These questions might reflect areas you feel should have been addressed but weren’t, or additional aspects you wish to explore further.

Bibliography: Include at least one other source to support or challenge your opinion. Follow APA guidelines for bibliographies (References section), providing complete citations.
