Writing Article Reviews
 
 
 
 
Article reviews are written to provide the reader with an overview of the selected literature and usually require a critique of the material.
A novice in the area should be able to read your review or annotated bibliography and have a good understanding of what the reading is about and where it stands in relation to other literature in the field or subject area.
 
 
 
The first step in writing an article review is to carefully read and note the article to be reviewed. Without a thorough understanding of the content of the article, it will be difficult to write an effective review.
Article reviews will generally have a distinctive structure as outlined below:
 
1.       Introduction
 
2.       Body
o   Summary
o   Critique
 
3.      Conclusion
 
 
 
Introduction (about 10% of your word length)
 
 The introduction will have a sentence that introduces the title of the article or book, the year it was published and the name of the author (the bibliographic details).
 You will also need to outline the central themes of the article and what point of view the writer presents.
 You may also wish to give your overall impression of the article, remembering to write in formal academic English i.e. this may mean avoiding personal statements like 'I believe that…'
 
 
 
Body (about 80% of your word length)
 
The body of an article review will generally have two parts to it: (a) the summary and (b) the critique. The relative word lengths for each of these sections can vary from assessment to assessment, so you must read your course information details carefully.
 
(a) Summary
 In sentences and paragraphs, summarise the main points of the article in the same order the writer uses.
 Omit any descriptive details such as statistics and examples. Stick to the main points.
 Avoid using the same word combinations that the author uses. Write the main points in your own way.
 If writing in your own words, summarising or paraphrasing, you do not need to identify the author as you normally would when writing an essay.
 If you use quotations from the article, use quotation marks to make this clear.
 
 
(b) Critique
 
This is where you are expected to provide some critical response to the article. A critical response can include both positive and negative statements. This can be done using some of the following questions:
 What is the main point or argument in the article?
 What is the writer’s perspective or theoretical position?
 Are the writer’s ideas similar or different to those of other writers?
 Do the writer’s ideas help or hinder their argument?
 Is the writer biased in any way?
 Is the writer qualified to write in this area?
 Do you agree with the writer’s ideas? Why? Why not?
 Is the text easy to understand or written in a very complicated way, with gaps in its definitions and/or methodology?
 How does the writer use other sources?
 Does the writer simplify complex ideas or make simple concepts difficult to grasp?
 Would you recommend this article to someone else interested in this subject?

NB: Sometimes the summary and critique section (the body) can be ordered on a point-by-point basis, for example: Point 1 summary and critique, Point 2 summary and critique, Point 3 summary and critique, etc.
 
Conclusion (about 10% of your word length)
 
 Briefly sum up the article.
 Make some statement on the overall usefulness of the article on the topic e.g. who would or would not find it of interest and why?
