about the topic and what you are going to do in the review. It reflects the
main focus of your review. It will also mention the central idea (concept or
theory) of the articles and the theory. This may be important to conclude
your review lastly. The introduction part of the article review must have
rational why you need to review articles on the selected title.

3. Write Discussion. Express the main points, arguments, and findings of the

articles and try to relate with the theory stated in your introduction part.
Show clearly the article reviewed in the discussion part (correctly cite the

in a chronological order (when you review, start from the most recent
article).

4. Write conclusion:  Summarize the main points of the articles, as well as
