    A CRITICAL REVIEW

    WHAT STEPS SHOULD YOU TAKE IN


    SUMMARISING AN
    ARTICLE/JOURNAL/BOOK ?
    INTRODUCTION
    » provide a context for the
    article/journal/book (background
    information or shared knowledge)
    » give the tittle of the article/journal/book
    and name of author (full name is possible
    here with subsequent references to the
    family name only)
    » identify the writer by profession or
    importance if appropriate
    » include some indication as to why the
    subject is important and thus worth
    writing about
    » identify the purpose of the
    article/journal/book
    » give an indication of your overall
    impression of the article/journal/book in
    general terms

    BODY
    In the body you should:
    » summarise and analyse the contents of
    the article/journal/book
    » make clear by frequent reference to the
    author (s) of the article/journal/book that
    you are presenting the author (s) views,
    not yours
    » evaluate the article/journal/book

    The following is the suggested structure:


    » an analytical summary of main
    findings/arguments/conclusions of
    article/journal/book
    » strenghts/usefulness of
    article/journal/book
    » weaknesses/limitation/problems of the
    article especially for your purposes (Or
    you might put these together so that each
    paragraph includes all four)

    CONCLUSION
    » summarise the previous discussion
    » make a final judgment on the value of
    the article/journal/book
    » comment on the future of the issue/topic
    or implications of the view expressed.
