Abstract: Critiquing journal articles can be intimidating, especially for new scholars. Many new graduate students focus on the findings and discussion rather than the quality of the research. This methodology review guide is our tool to help scholars identify and evaluate a research article, particularly focusing on the methodology. Although there are some great books out there, we think a simple, short guide is less overwhelming to students. This guide is recommended for use in early coursework for masters and doctoral students. The guide focuses the user on the details of the research rather than just the details of the findings.
