Journal Article Analysis Guidelines

About These Guidelines

These guidelines are for creating a scholarly critical analysis of a current, peer-reviewed journal article. The first item is focused on attribution according to APA format, and the entire analysis should follow this format. The rest of the items are content-related and will demonstrate your ability to provide a scholarly argument and analysis for your selected article. In most cases, the examples provided need more depth of discussion and could benefit from at least one paragraph of content.

Article title. APA citation and referenced correctly in the body of the paper and on the reference page. Reference example:

Brumandl, R. Kemper, A. & Kossman, D. (2003, November 2003). Quality of service in an information economy. ACM Transaction on Internet Technology, 3, 4. Retrieved October 13, 2002, ACM Digital library, University of Phoenix Online Library

Citation example. (Brumandl and Kossman, 2003)

Article summary or abstract. Is there an abstract or article summary? How accurate is it? Example: This article examines the response time or quality of service associated with query processing via the Internet. The integration of a distributed query processor is examined as a way to improve Quality of Service during query processing.

Purpose of the article. Is the purpose of article and research problem clearly identified? Example:

The purpose of the article is clearly identified in the article and introduction sections of the article. The article delves into extensive technical detail related to database performance along with quality and cost parameters that may be specified by the owner of the query plan.

Clearly defined research process. Did the author clearly define the research process used in their article? Example:

The research conducted in the article is primarily secondary in nature as the authors made extensive use of primary articles for their data and analysis.

Participants and scope of the research. Does the author of the study protect the participants in the study and is the scope of the study clearly defined? Example:

Since the authors did not do the primary research for the data in these articles, the participants creating the query requests remained completely anonymous.

Limitations of study identified. Did the author adequately define the limitations of the study and how these limitations could have an impact on the finding of the study? Example:

The authors of this study did not identify any limitation but it would seem that the limitation would be in the form of the data for this study was not directly completed by the authors as they relied primarily on the research of others. It is believed that the authors of the article did not adequately take into account the hardware capabilities and the network connections of the end users performing the queries.

Is the research applicable to current research? Is the data and finding of this article sufficiently current to be applicable to the research in progress? Example:

Although the article is being published in the November 2014 issue of an ACM publication, most of the references predate 2010. Only one reference is dated in 20201300 and there are several from 2010. In general, I believe the age of the references for this article must be considered in the relevance to today’s computing and information systems environment. The technical details of this particular article would not be appropriate for the research being conducted by this learner.

Findings presented without bias. Does the author present their findings and recommendation in an unbiased manner? Example:

The authors analyzed the data presented in an unbiased and quantitative manner.

Alignment of title, purpose, and findings. Are the findings consistent with the purpose of the research and the title of the article? Example:

In general, the article drills down into some technical areas that would not be of interest to most readers attracted by the title of the article. To some extent, this article concentrated on database and query language details that go beyond the broader title of the article. The performance and response calculations presented are not usually of interest to information systems professional as much as they would be to computer engineers and scientists.

Analysis supports the conclusions. Are the conclusions presented from the data presented in the study and the analysis performed justified to support the recommendations? Example:

The conclusions presented by the authors would appear to be supported by the analysis of the data presented. The authors only presented conclusions not recommendations as to course of actions to be taken.

Credentials of researcher(s). Are the researcher’s background, experience and credentials presented with the report? Example:

This article did not provide information on the background, experience and credentials on the authors of the article.

Overall Value of the Article

Based on the above items, is this article worthy and useful to the research activities of the reviewer? If so, how.
