The art of being a critique is in its essence quality work, and it is the way of the world today. This is the requirement as well obligation for all researchers. If the research material they produce is of low quality and integrity, it is not worthy of reading. In this case, the literature on supply chain collaboration will undergo the same critical analysis. There are areas that will show if the research is of impeccable quality and value or if it is not. They will include the contribution of the paper to the research area.
The area of research is supply chain collaborations. The paper has clearly defined the research area stating Supply chain collaboration means two or more autonomous firms working jointly to plan and execute supply chain operations (Simatupang & Sridharan, 2002). This ensures that the reader gets to know firsthand before reading the material what they are reading. However, this is not a critical aspect of the research as the definition can be found on the glossary at the end of the research. It is also easy to understand what the title means by consulting a dictionary or continuing to read the material. Thus, this part of the paper can be under the provisional part or the others section.
The use of statistical methods is also presenting the research paper with, for example, the chi-square test. This is a favorable method for those analyzing data further. However, for those who are not conversant with this method fail to understand the diagrams. This leads to distortion of information that is vital to understand the research paper (Wayne 2008). The solution is drawing less complicated diagrams like just an ordinary table or drawing two diagrams with one a summary of the other.
There is the research question that states what the problem is; that the research paper addresses. This question is what the researcher will try to answer in conducting his/her research to find solutions. In this
