When critiquing a research paper, you are evaluating the research and the argument made by the author. To evaluate a research article, one will need to look at what the author is claiming, their research methods, and any problems there might be with the claims made.

There are many questions to ask and many elements to look at when critiquing a research paper. This paper will critique two different research articles; one qualitative and one quantitative.…

Phase 2: appraising the quality of articles The term ‘assessing study quality’ is often used interchangeably with ‘assessing the internal validity’ – that is, the extent to which a study is free from methodological biases’ (Petticrew and Roberts 2006) or ‘the degree to which the results of a study are likely to approximate the “truth”’ (The Cochrane Collaboration 2009). Jadad (1998) suggested that the following points should be considered when assessing the quality of randomised controlled trials: 4Relevance of the research question. 4Internal validity of the trial – the degree to which the trial design, conduct, analysis and presentation minimise bias. 4External validity – the extent to which findings are generalisable. 4Appropriateness of the data analysis and presentation. 4Ethical implications. In the context of systematic reviews, quality refers to the methodological quality – the internal and external validity of quantitative studies.The criteria for qualitative studies are different. These studies are often judged on the basis of BOX…

assess its validity, results, and relevance. (Hill, 2001) Critical appraisal of research is preformed by clinicians prior to using it to make healthcare decisions. The critical appraisal process systematically finds, appraises, and acts on evidence based research after thorough review. The use of critical appraisal also allows us to make sense of research evidence and allows us to begin to close the gap between research and practice. (Hill, 2001)…
