1. Locate a scholarly journal article from the last 5 years (see slides posted in Blackboard). This
article can be on any topic.
2. Download and read the article (focus on the methods section).
3. APA Citations: in-text and reference list
Your article review should include the following:
a. Intro: 1 3 sentences briefly telling the reader what was done.
i. Do not write any more than 3 sentences, if you have written more than 3
sentences go back and redo it. This is not a major section of this review and you
will lose points if you focus all of your writing in this section.
b. Research Design: This is a major section of this review. Tell the reader that type of
research design was used by the author(s) and the error associated with it (use the RD
Table). Also, what criteria of causality can this study established based on the RD. Finally,
relate O=T+E to the RD used by the author(s).
i. I suggest you locate a study that uses one of the nine RDs listed on the RD Table.
It will make writing this review easier for you, but it is up to you.
c. Sample Design: This is a major section of this review. Tell the reader how the sample
was obtained for this study and is it an R or A/C and what does that mean. Relate O=T+E
to this sample.
i. Use the Sample Table to assist you on this section.
ii. If the study you select is a secondary analysis you might have to look into how the
original data collectors obtained their sample (most of the time you do not).
d. Data Design: This is a major section of this review. Tell the reader how the data was
obtain for this study. Did they use a survey and if you what type (see the pdf on survey
collection types). You may use the response rates if needed. Relate the sample to O=T+E.
i. Please note Data Design is not data analysis. If you focus on data analysis you will
lose points because that is not how the data was obtained. The only numbers in
your review should be the sample size and the response rate.
ii. If you use a secondary analysis, study you will have to read as to how the data
was originally collected (might have to look it up). Usually, the author(s) will
discuss how the data was originally collected.
iii. It will be easier for you to write if they used one of the methods listed on the pdf
concerning survey collection methods.
e. Conclusion: Based on the above, relate the entire study to O=T+E. Also, offer suggestions
as to a way forward. How can the next study reduce error based on Research Design,
Sample Design, and Data Design?
5. Overall this article review needs to be at most 2 pages (typed, 12 Font, Times New Roman, Double
Spaced. with Justified Margins [this document has justified margins]). Also, make sure you have
APA in-text citations and that your reference list is IAW APA (you will only have one reference).
