How to summarize a journal article?
After you have the article, you can generate useful information by summarizing it. You must thoroughly read the readings and write a 1-2 page summary. The summary should include a synopsis of the objectives, methods, and major conclusions of the article, and a critique part that identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the article. You can also comment on how the article relates to your particular research topics and compare and contrast the article with other similar work. If you make it a habit to summarize articles this way, you will gradually create your own web-of-science. A method for analyzing and evaluating a reading assignment.
