Annalysing Research Articles

  1. Select any three research articles in your discipline.
  2. Analyze the macro-level structure (i.e. titles and organization of sections and subsections).
  3. What evidence, if any, do you see of hierarchical, classification, or cause effect organization patterns?
  4. What evidence, if any, do you see of parallelism?
  5. Look at the literature review or a subsection of the literature review. If it is a subsection, you are looking for one with more than one paragraph. Analyze the meso-level structure (i.e. order of the paragraphs).
