Article Review

Article Review:

Students will identify a scholarly article about a nonprofit agency that are related to a 

topic from your readings and class discussion. By “article,” I mean an article published in a 

refereed journal (for example, you can find many of them on JSTOR, Evaluation Review, etc. on 

the Barry Online Library) I also used eric.ed.gov and found peer reviewed articles.

Each review will be a minimum of 5 pages, in essay format. Provide 

full citation using APA. Summarize its content, discuss the relevance/impact of the article to 

nonprofit administration, identify and explain concepts from the readings that apply to the 

situation described in the article. You must cite appropriately using APA. Cover page and 

appendices do not count toward the 5 pages. 

Use the following format as a guide in writing your article reviews. Part of the grade will be 

based on how well you use the following questions.

(YOUR ANALYSIS OF THE ARTICLE SHOULD FOLLOW THIS FORMAT) 

The main purpose of this article is ________________________. Than state why you 

think the author wrote the article. 

The key question that the author is addressing is __________________________. Figure 

out the key question in the mind of the author when s/he wrote the article. 

The most important information in this article is __________________________. Figure 

out the facts, experiences, data the author is using to support her/his conclusions. 

The main inferences/conclusions in this article are ________________________. 

Identify the key conclusions that the author comes to and presents in the article. 

The key concept(s) we need to understand in this article are _________________. By 

these concepts the author means _____________________________. Figure out the 

most important ideas that you would have to understand in order to understand the 

author’s line of reasoning. 

The main assumptions underlying the author’s thinking is/are _______________. Figure 

out what the author may take for granted that may be questioned. 

If we take this line of thinking seriously the implications are ________________. What 

consequences are likely to follow if people take the author’s line of reasoning seriously? If we fail to take the author’s line of reasoning the implications are ___________. What 

consequences are likely to follow if people ignore the author’s reasoning? 

The main points of view of the author are ______________________. What is the author 

looking at and how is s/he seeing it? 

Note: This template is not designed so you answer the questions one by one. Once you answer the 

questions, you are in an excellent position to summarize and then analyze the article. Many of the articles 

are complicated and this kind of template helps to learn from studies found in peer review journals. You 

will be graded on whether or not you use these points. More information on formatting and contents of 

the Article Reviews will be discussed in class.

 

Also PLEASE send me the link where you retreived the article, so I can print it out and take it to class with me. Thanks in advance. I am willing to pay $5 to get started as my down payment.
