Handout 1. An article review is a piece of writing where you summarize and assess someone else's article. The goal of assigning article reviews is to get the students familiar with the works of the renowned specialists in a particular field. These specialists also have to review each other’s articles on a regular basis. To summarize the article properly, one needs to comprehend the essence of the work, its argument, and its main points. You are expected to assess the main theme, its supporting arguments, and the perspectives for further research in the given direction. Like any other written piece, an article review requires thorough preparation. Hence, article review writing process consists of two stages: preparation and writing.

STAGE 1: PREPARATION

Step 1. Define an article review

You write it not for the general public but for the readership familiar with the field of knowledge. This review is to summarize the essence of the article, its key arguments, and findings, and the author's attitude towards the subject-matter. You also assess the new knowledge that the author has brought to the discipline and its application potential.
Writing an article review is not just about expressing your opinion on the work. It is a fully-fledged evaluation of the author's ideas expressed in the article. As you analyze the article, you use your own ideas and research experience. Your overall conclusions about the article base off on your own judgment backed up by your experience in this field and your common sense.
You only talk about the research already performed by the article's author. You do not perform any new research yourself.
