Journal Article Summary

This assignment requires a single evidence-based, peer-reviewed journal article, not an opinion publication or one reviewing or summarizing multiple writings or researchers' experimental studies.  Evidence-based means the article reports on a single experiment conducted by an article's author(s).  Peer-reviewed means an article in an academic journal that had to be approved by the journal's editorial panel of scientific discipline experts.  Trade journals and commercial/popular publications do not qualify for the assignment. 

Because it reports on a single article, this assignment will only have one publication, the article you are summarizing, listed in the required APA formatted attached Reference list.  This paper will include a description of the article’s main focus, a description of the experimental methodology (including the study sample, measures and analyses used, etc.), discussion of the results and related conclusions reached by the article’s authors, and a substantive closing paragraph describing two to three future research ideas inspired by the article.

Required page length is 3 pages
