How to write a journal article review: Create a template

Create a template

It might be helpful to create a template for your assessment.

A template will help you to keep you focussed on the requirements of your task.

Here, you will allocate a percentage of your word count per section, to keep your arguments on point and in accordance with your task’s instructions.

For example, if you are asked to write a journal article review of 800 words, you could break it down like this:

1. Identification of journal 50 words
2. Summary of article 200 words
3. Critique 400 words
4. Conclusion 150 words
