1. Research question:
a) What is THE OVERALL research question?
b) Is the research question clearly stated in the introduction of the paper?
c) Why is the author interested in this question (why is this question important?)?
2. Hypotheses:
a) What are the hypotheses? (list all hypotheses proposed)
b) Is the reasoning behind the hypotheses explained? What is the logic behind each hypothesis?
c) Are some alternative hypotheses ignored? If so, explain.
3. Introduction:
a) Does the introduction provide appropriate background for the study? Why or why not?
b) Is the introduction missing useful information that would have been helpful? If so, explain. For example, did you have to look up any additional information?
c) Is the relevance of the work clear?
4. Methods:
a) Summarize the methods that were used.
b) Were the methods appropriate? {Was this the best way to test the hypotheses? Were there problems with the methodology (if so describe them)?}
