Journal Article Critique
(Peer-Reviewed)

• An article critique is a specialized form of writing in where the reviewing author reports and critiques on the main ideas, claims, positions, findings, and conclusions of the article and its contribution to knowledge in the discipline in which it is published.

• Is the purpose of the article made clear in the introduction?
• Do you find errors of fact and interpretation? Is all of the discussion relevant?
• Has the author cited the pertinent, and only the pertinent, literature? If the author has included inconsequential references, or references that are not pertinent, suggest deleting them.
• Have any ideas been overemphasized or underemphasized? Suggest specific revisions.
