How to read a research article
Main components of a scholarly article
Abstract – summary of the paper
Introduction/Background (not usually labeled)
You will usually find the Research Questions here
Literature Review (not usually labeled)
This section often has subheadings by theme or topic
You will usually find specific hypotheses here and any theory
used will be here
Data/measurements/methods (may use one or several of these
labels depending on the journal)
Here you will find the source of the data, the list of variables,
and the type of study
Results/analysis
This section is usually tables along with analysis and
interpretation (written description of the findings)
Discussion/conclusion
Restate the research question/hypotheses along with the relevant
results

research etc.
Tips for reading a scholarly article
Read the abstract and discussion first. This gives you the best
overview of the entire paper.
Then read the other sections based on what you want to know.
Want to know what they learned? Read the results.
Want to know what theoretical perspective they’re using? Read
the background/literature review.
Want to know how they set up their study? Read the methods
section.
How to write an article review
Questions to answer
What is the purpose of the article? What are the research
questions and why are they of sociological importance?
What research methods did the author(s) use to answer their
research questions? Where did their data come from and how
was it collected?
What were the key findings?
What conclusions did the author(s) make?
Choose one of the following areas to address as a critique:
Alternate explanations for the findings
A different methodological approach
An additional research question or hypothesis that would have
added clarity or weight to the argument
Problems with the methods such as selection bias, sampling
error, etc.
An ethical concern or question
How to format your review
Respond to the questions in the previous slide in paragraph
form. Each question should be answerable in one to two
paragraphs.
The final paper will probably be between 2-3 pages.
1” margins using 12” standard font.
Works cited list at the end.
Plagiarism and how to cite
Using Evidence, Proper Citations and the risks of Plagiarism
Why do we need evidence? When do we need evidence?
How do we cite someone’s words? How do we cite someone’s
ideas?
What constitutes plagiarism and what are the consequences?
ASK YOURSELF:
Did I know this information before I took this course?
Did this information/idea come from my own brain?
IF THE ANSWER IS NO, YOU NEED EVIDENCE!
Proper citation
If citing someone’s IDEAS, using your own words (AKA
paraphrasing) citations should include (author name, year).
If citing someone’s WORDS (AKA quoting) citations should
include (author name, year: page number) and the selection
should be in “quotes.”
