How to Summarize an Academic Article
Here’s the article in question.
What should an article summary highlight?
- Claim / purpose for research / thesis: underline any parts of the article that specify what the author(s) were attempting to prove
- Lit Review: what previous research do the authors cite? How are they using this research? What is specifically important for their study? Is there someone here whom they are attacking?
- Methods: What did they do? Why did they do it this way? Do they reference any sources justifying their methodology
- How do they present their results? What are their results?
- How do they frame the significance of their results?
- What do they hope are the “walk aways” for their article? What are we supposed to do differently (who are we?)?
For Next Class
Read Stuart and Voyles (2016). Submit a summary to Canvas (we will work with these summaries on Thursday).
For next Tuesday, read Karsh and Fox chapters 6 & 7 (I will also give us a sample grant application to analyze via Karsch and Fox).
