The following are some additional questions you may want to address in your critique no matter what type of article you are critiquing. (Use your discretion. These points don’t have to be discussed in this order, and some may not be pertinent to your particular article.)
a) First of all, for any type of journal article your critique should include some basic information:
i) Name(s) of the author(s)
ii) Title of article
iii) Title of journal, volume number (if available), date, month and page numbers
iv) Statement of the problem or issue discussed
v) The author’s purpose, approach or methods, hypothesis, and major conclusions.
b) Purpose:
i) Why was the article written?
ii) What did the author/s try to prove?
iii) What is the problem the research is trying to address?
c) What is the source of the data?
i) That is, questionnaire, intensive interview, documents, existing statistical information, observations, laboratory manipulations, field manipulations, etc.)
ii) Did the data collection serve to benefit the richness of the article or hinder/limit the author’s ability to fully understand what they were wanting to explore?
iii) In some studies there are two or more sources of data. Give a brief overview of how the data was acquired.
d) Structure of article:
i) Is the title of the article appropriate and clear?
ii) Is the abstract specific, representative of the article, and in the correct form?
iii) Is the purpose of the article made clear in the introduction?
iv) Do you find errors of fact and interpretation? (This is a good one! You won’t believe how often authors misinterpret or misrepresent the work of others.  You can check on this by looking up for yourself the references the author cites.)
v) Is all of the discussion relevant?
vi) Has the author cited the pertinent, and only the pertinent, literature? If the author has included inconsequential references, or references that are not pertinent, suggest deleting them.
vii) Have any ideas been overemphasized or underemphasized? Suggest specific revisions.
viii) Should some sections of the manuscript be expanded, condensed or omitted?
ix) Are the author’s statements clear? Challenge ambiguous statements. Suggest by examples how clarity can be achieved, but do not merely substitute your style for the author’s.
x) What underlying assumptions does the author have?
xi) Has the author been objective in his or her discussion of the topic?
xii) Briefly, what do the key findings turn out to be?
