Further, consider the following points of critiques that are usually helpful when
reviewing an article:
1) Originality/Novelty/ of the study: Does the paper contain new (novel) ideas and
significant information? Is the reviewed article a study with an original scientific
contribution? Is there new gap that the article addresses?
2) Relationship to Literature: Does the paper demonstrate an adequate
understanding of the relevant literature in the field and cite an appropriate range
of literature sources? Is any significant work ignored? Is the literature research
sufficient? Does the research use a theoretical and/or conceptual model? Does
the literature review seem thorough & recent
(Within the last 5 years)? Does the content of the literature review relate directly to
the research problem? Is the review of literature relevant to the research question?
3) Methodology: Is the paper's argument built on an appropriate base of
theory, concepts, or other ideas? Has the research or equivalent intellectual
work on which the paper is based been well designed? Are the methods
employed appropriate? Are the used models and methods suitable for the
research topic and purpose? Is the used research method adequately valid
and reliable? Are the methods consistent with the theory? Were the
inclusion/exclusion criteria specified for subject to be studied? How
representative is the sample? Is the context of the data appropriate for the
