RESEARCH PAPER: JOURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
The most important channel for academic research is the peer-reviewed journal article. In a peer-reviewed journal article, a scholar will: 1) propose a research question; 2) demonstrate the importance of this research question through analysis of relevant literature; 3) introduce a study that will explore the research question; 4) detail and analyze the results of that study; 5) draw conclusions from that study.
INSTRUCTIONS
In this assignment you will submit a review and evaluation of a single article, relevant to the topic of Immigration, that has been published in the past five years in a peer-reviewed journal. In this Journal Article Review you will:
• Identify the research question or central thesis of the article;
• Explain the method used to support the claims of the article
o State whether the method is quantitative or qualitative and give a brief
explanation of the methodological approach.
o State what data is collected. (For example: Is it a public opinion poll? An analysis
of historical budget data? A forecast of future COVID infections? An explanation
of congressional voting patterns by ideology?)
• Explain and evaluate the conclusions drawn from the study
o Assess whether the conclusions drawn by the article’s authors seem sound based
on the data they present.
o Identify any weaknesses or oversights of the article.
