Things to keep in mind
before submitting your
article review
Things to keep in mind….

1 As you read the article, highlight the key points. This will help you pinpoint the
article's main argument and the evidence that they used to support that argument.

2 While you write your review, use evidence from your sources to make a point.
This is best done using direct quotations.

3 Select quotes and supporting evidence adequately and use direct quotations
sparingly. Take time to analyze the article adequately.

4 Every time you reference a publication or use a direct quotation, use a

parenthetical citation to avoid accidentally plagiarizing your article.

5 Re-read your piece a day after you finish writing it. This will help you to spot
grammar mistakes and to notice any flaws in your organization.
