Critical Review
Telaah Kritis
 What is a critical review?
It is an analysis and evaluation of a book, article, or other
publications.

It is much more than a simple summary

Requires a good understanding of the material

Helps you to answer 2 basic questions:

What are the current theoretical or policy issues and debates related to
your topic?
What is the current state of knowledge about these issues and problems?

It’s not a theoretical review

 Steps to writing a critical review
Finding literature
Browse for a topic
Look through pas several years of reputable journals
Use key terms to search electronic databases
Limit to 5-10 readings and read them properly

Reviewing the literature

Don’t just summarize them, but also evaluate them, challenge them
Examine how the article is structured, the types of evidence or
justifications to support the conclusions
Look for key issues through them
Take a general view of the relevant literature to provide an overview of
what the literature says
Structure What type of text is it? (Ex: primary or secondary
source? Original research? How is the literature
structured?

Methodology Is the research quantitative or qualitative? How to

improve the method?

Reasons/evidence What sources does the author use? (interview?

Government reports? Newspaper?
Are there any gaps in the evidence?

Conclusions Does the data adequately support the conclusion

drawn? Are other interpretations plausible? What
does the research contribute to the field?

Logic What assumptions does the author make? Does the

author account for all of the data? Or are portions left
out? Any alternative perspective remain
unconsidered?
Knowledge of the literature can
help
Tighten research questions

Enhance conceptual understanding

Provide a source for making comparisons

Stimulate questions during the analysis

Confirm findings, or, findings can be used to show where

current literature is incorrect, simplistic, or partial

Model ways of making claims about the possible significance

of your work
 Finding literature
Read, read, read!

Journals:
E-Journal
Jurnal Nasional Terakreditasi à Sinta Dikti
Jurnal Internasional à Science Direct, Emerald, Ebsco,
Proquest, etc.
Summarizing and paraphrasing

Summarizing means to reduce a text to its main points and its most
important ideas.

The length of your summary for a critical review should only be

about ¼ of the whole critical review.

Paraphrasing means putting someone’s words into your own words.

It offers an alternative to using direct quotations.

How to do paraphrasing:
Review your summary
Rewrite them in your own words
Use reporting verbs (eg. The researcher concludes…, Bambang
argues that…)
