(reference articles as if you have read them directly, no need for secondary citations).
Further INSTRUCTIONS for Journal Article Reviews:
-Be scientific. Model your writing on the writing on the writing style of the journal article you are reviewing. Every sentence should be either clearly your
opinion, obviously common sense, or cited in the text.
-Integrate and synthesize what you are reading. Reserve your opinions for the final section.
-Avoid quoting. It’s your job to integrate and synthesize what you have read.
-Avoid gross general grammatical errors (examples: apostrophe where inappropriate, sentence fragment, flawed sentence structure invalidating the meaning
of a sentence).
-Avoid misspelled words (this would not include words with multiple acceptable spelling such as counsel(l)ing, this would include misspellings such as too
when two was intended).
-Avoid incontrovertible stylistic APA errors (examples: failing to italicize the volume of a journal in a reference, use of a clear anthropomorphism such as “the
purpose of the article is,” this does not include stylistic issues where multiple solutions are possible or where the APA style guide is unclear)
-Avoid editing errors (examples: repeating words, failing to indent a paragraph, failing to capitalize the first word of a sentence).
-Avoid unsupported or misattributed statements in paragraphs prior to the final paragraph (examples: stating that group A engages in a particular behavior
without crediting a supporting source, stating that group A engages in a particular behavior when the content of the reviewed article contradicts such a
statement, stating that group A engages in a particular behavior and citing the wrong source as support)
-Avoid overstated generalizations prior to final paragraph (unsupported means you have no data or reference to support your generalization, example: all
dogs love to play fetch, or all cats like to be scratched behind their ears).
