A journal article review is a common assignment in college and graduate
school. Reviewing journal articles is an important assignment on its own
or as part of a much larger research paper. Typically, instructors will
give you guidelines on the type of journal articles to review and what
to include, but general APA journal article reviews include the pieces
discussed below. Articles should be from peer-reviewed or scholarly
journals and relate to the field of study that the class discusses.
.Difficulty: Easy
Instructions.Step 1
Search the library's online databases, such as EbscoHost and others, to
find scholarly or peer-reviewed articles. You can also look in indexes
available at the library.
Step 2
Read the entire article. Many journal articles can be quite complex and
use complicated wording and statistics. You may need to read the article
a few times before you get a full grasp of it.
Step 3
Write a citation for the journal article at the top of the review. The
citation should follow the American Psychological Association's
style--consult the APA-style manual or the link under Resources for
citation information. You will need the title of the article, the
journal where the article is published, the volume and issue number,
publication date, author's name and page numbers for the article.
Step 4
Write a summary of the article. This should be one to three paragraphs,
depending on the length of the article. Include the purpose for the
article, how research was conducted, the results and other pertinent
information from the article.
Step 5
Discuss the meaning or implication of the results of the study that the
article is about. This should be one to two paragraphs. This is where
you offer your opinion on the article. Discuss any flaws with the
article, how you think it could have been better and what you think it
all means.
Step 6
Write one paragraph discussing how the author could expand on the
results, what the information means in the big picture, what future
research should focus on or how future research could move the topic
forward. Discuss how knowledge in the area could be expanded.
Step 7
Cite any direct quotes or paraphrases from the article. Use the author's
name, the year of publication and the page number (for quotes) in the
in-text citation. Refer to the link in the Resources section to do this
correctly.

In His Steps is a best-selling religious fiction novel written by Charles Monroe Sheldon. First published in 1896, the book has sold more than 30,000,000 copies, and ranks as one of the best-selling books of all time. The full title of the book is In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do? Though variations of the subtitle "What would Jesus do" have been used by Christians for centuries as a form of imitatio dei, the imitation of God, it gained much greater currency following publication of the book. Chicago Advance, the original publisher, failed to register the copyright in the proper form. Other publishers took advantage of this, publishing the book without paying the author royalties. Thus lower prices and multiple publishers led to larger sales.
