Using a Scientific Journal Article to Write a Critical Review
Writing a critical review of a journal article can help to improve your research skills. By assessing the work of others, you develop skills as a critical reader and become familiar with the types of evaluation criteria that will be applied to research in your field and thus your own research.
You are expected to read the article carefully, analyse it, and evaluate the quality and originality of the research, as well as its relevance and presentation. Its strengths and weaknesses are assessed, followed by its overall value. Do not be confused by the term critique: it does not mean that you only look at the negative aspects of what the researcher has done. You should address both the positive and negative aspects.
If your lecturer has given you specific advice on how to write a critical review, follow that advice. If not, the following steps may help you. These steps are based on a detailed description of how to analyse and evaluate a research article provided by Wood (2003) in her lab guide.
This guide is divided into two parts. The first part, "Researching the Critique," outlines the steps involved in selecting and evaluating a research article. The second part, "Writing your Critique," discusses two possible ways to structure your critique paper.
A. Researching the Critique
The questions listed under many of the subheadings in this section may provide you with a good place to begin understanding what you are looking for and what form your critique might take.
1. Select a Topic
If your lecturer does not assign a topic or a particular article for you to review, and you must choose a topic yourself, try using a review article from your field. Review articles summarize and evaluate current studies (research articles) on a particular topic. Select a review article on a topic that interests you and that is written clearly so you can understand it.
2. Select a Research Article
Use the review article to select a research article. This can be very useful in writing your critique. The review article will provide background information for your analysis, as well as establishing that the research paper you are critiquing is significant: if the paper was not so highly regarded, it would not have been selected to be reviewed.
When choosing a research article, examine the Materials & Methods section closely and make sure you have a good grasp of the techniques and methods used. If you don't, you may have difficulty evaluating them.
3. Analyse the Text
Read the article(s) carefully. As you read the article(s) use the following questions to help you understand how and why the research was carried out.
· What is the author's central purpose? Look at INTRODUCTION.
· What methods were used to accomplish this purpose (systematic recor ...

Week 5:Critiquing Research Articles to Prepare an Annotated Bibliography
As mentioned, one component of becoming an independent scholar is learning how to provide an evaluative critique of the work of other scholars. A critique of scholarly work requires your ability to use high level critical thinking skills. In addition, you must be able to write constructively and communicate your ideas well with clear and focused writing.
The purpose of this assignment is two-fold. First, you are to demonstrate your ability to clearly and precisely summarize and critically evaluate specific information from peer-reviewed resources. Secondly, you are to demonstrate your ability to clearly present that evaluative information in writing that meets academic and professional expectations. These skills will be invaluable as you go on to develop your literature review and in your journey to become an independent scholar.
The result of this activity is produce annotated bibliographies based on the two peer-reviewed journal articles related to your chosen topic (you are welcome to include more articles for practice and feedback). Use the sections and questions below to help you critique each article. You do not need to answer every single question as some questions might not apply. The questions are listed as a means to help you generate ideas as you work on critiquing each article. You might also consider using this template in the future when critically analyzing articles.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

7. What do we want to get out of the paper?
General Reader: Someone from another field (or from the general public) who
wants to know what the study encomprises without getting to the nitty-gritty
details.
Speciality/Critical Reader: This is your field (be it you are a student or a
professional in that field), and you want to know how to exactly replicate the
study and to properly criticize it. This means you have to go through the details
and actually understand what the paper means to the field.

15. General Reader: Read the abstract only. Search
for the background (and the gap
the paper fills in the body of science), methods,
results, and conclusion.
Speciality/Critical Reader: Read the
introduction first then the abstract. Answer
two questions before you read the abstract like a
general reader:
(1) Why does this study exist? → The Problem
(2) How does the genius who wrote the paper
solve it?
Abstract
How to read research?
17. Like humans, papers have history, too
- Methods
Speciality/Critical Reader:
(1) Are the methods new? If so, what are their essential features and their usage
properties? Is there a totally new procedure involved? Know enough about it to
be able to replicate it on your own!
(2) Does the study apply to your patients? What are the characteristics of the
study participants?
(3) If applicable: How was the randomization and blinding made? What are the
“expected” implications of using these methods on the results?
18. Results - What did the authors find?
General Reader: Go for the data representation first (tables, graphs, drawings,
etc.). What is the relation between the variables measured? What does that tell
you? (Study Outcome)
Speciality/Critical Reader: Identify the follow-up trends in the participant data.
Are the negative trends justified by the authors? Could the study be improved
to reduce dropouts?
NOTE: The representations should give you a clear description of the study
outcome. If not, look for it in the text and write it down (for the discussion).
19. The Discussion
General Reader: You can skip the discussion if you are reading for interest.
Though you might need to read it to benefit from the study.
Cheat Tip: read the last paragraph of the discussion (aka the conclusion).
Speciality/Critical Reader: Describe in detail the message of the paper (the
answer to the question in the introduction), its critical assessment (evidence
reliability, methods’ limitations, flaws, and validity assumptions), its comparison
with other studies (justifications for inconsistencies), and what you concluded
from the author’s efforts (including recommendations).
20. References & Citations
Who did the authors get their data from to actually conduct the study?
Identify the references and check them using the CRAAP criteria:
(1) Currency
(2) Relevance
(3) Authority
(4) Accuracy
(5) Purpose
21. Beware the red flags: Don't get too carried away!
Before you decide to use a paper, figure out if the paper has any common flaws,
and look for any uncommon ones (relevant to your field or to the methods in
use).
The most common red flags are:
(1) Missing elements of the sections (subsection, unclear descriptions, etc.)
(2) Missing error bars or confidence intervals
(3) Unmentioned Weaknesses
(4) Research Misconduct
(5) Author Agenda
