Reading Journal Articles
Strategies for reading Journal Articles
http://unilearning.uow.edu.au/reading/1d.html
Journal articles usually have a quite rigid structure that is determined
by the particular journal in which they appear and by the type of research
being reported; this makes extracting information from them sometimes easier
than from less rigid text types. The reporting of empirical research will
mostly follow the format of abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion,
and conclusion.
