After completing your critique you should submit: 1. Your article review/critique, including a summary of the article and its indicated research methods… (continue reading for more about what to include in your paper). 2. Papers must be saved as and submitted as PDF format (there will be a link in Week 15 to submit your paper). Here is a brief list of links to studies/research articles to give you an idea of the type of article you should review. You may use one of these or select a similar type of article from a reputable medical research journal/publication. *Note: If any of these links do not work, you can copy, paste and search in your browser. ● Polyphenols as dietary supplements: A double-edged sword ● The role of deliberate practice in the acquisition of clinical skills ● Patient perception of pain care in hospitals in the United States ● Synchrotron Imaging Techniques for Bone and Cartilage Tissue Engineering: Potential, Current Trends, and Future Directions ● Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts' e-Library is also a great resource…(this link takes you there). ***Please, ask for my opinion if you are not confident in your article choice.*** Grading And Format for Research Critique In the article review, you will choose, evaluate, and review/critique your article using the rubric criteria and guidance questions found on the following pages. The body of your paper should be longer than your introduction and summary, and you should pay special attention to the design and procedures used in the research.
