Article analysis: understand and assess a scholarly claim

Article analysis examines what the authors set out to investigate and how they support their conclusions. This path covers one to three articles in a course assignment. It is not a seminar context or an independent study of new data.

Structure: single-article summary

An organised summary explains the question, necessary background, approach and central conclusion in your own words. Select what the reader needs to follow the argument instead of shortening every paragraph equally. Keep the authors’ claims distinguishable from any additional explanation. Include secondary details only when they matter to the assignment.

Structure: single-article critical analysis

Critical analysis adds a reasoned assessment to an accurate account of the article. Choose criteria appropriate to the work, such as clear definitions, relevant evidence or justified conclusions. A useful assessment can identify strengths as well as limitations. Connect each judgement to a specific claim or feature rather than offering a general verdict.

Critique focus: methods and reported statistics

Methodological critique is an emphasis within critical analysis, rather than another structure choice. Examine the article’s account of sampling, measurement, analysis and limitations. Discussion concerns the analysis reported by the authors. The service does not calculate new tests, reconstruct their dataset or independently validate the statistical results.

Structure: comparison of two or three articles

A comparison needs a shared question and criteria that link the articles. Compare theoretical frameworks, populations, methods or conclusions, while explaining differences that limit comparability. The result should not be a sequence of isolated summaries. Each comparison criterion should reveal a relationship and help answer the assignment’s question.

Writing purpose: written article report (referat)

A written referat is a form of course submission. Its content may use summary, critique or comparison, depending on the instructions. Explain the articles and concepts so that they can support classroom discussion. This purpose does not create a fourth structure option or a standalone presentation service.

Explanation focus: methods and findings

To interpret a finding, ask what was examined and which answer the method can support. A theoretical article requires attention to the reasoning; an empirical article requires attention to the relationship between question, method and reported results. Notice qualifications in the main text even when the abstract sounds more decisive.

    Provide assignment requirements and relevant materials. Review planning suggestions and edit them as needed.

  3. Review the deliverables

    Read the paper and accompanying report, check sources, and complete revisions and real data as required.

Documents included with eligible papers

Planning documents accompany eligible papers and are generated after the paper. They cannot be ordered separately. If generation of the accompanying document fails, the completed paper may be delivered without it.

The planning documents shown in this preview follow the dedicated registry mapping. Active delivery will be verified before publication.

Frequently asked questions

How many articles does this path cover?

One to three articles in a course assignment. A broader literature review or seminar paper uses another path.

Can background sources be added?

Follow the assignment. A task restricted to the supplied articles should not be expanded with external scholarship as though it were required.

Must critique be negative?

No. It needs reasons. A precise account of a strength and a limitation is more useful than a list of negative comments.
