Write an extended analysis of one review paper. Consider each of the sections or structural elements of the paper. Use the questions below to help guide your writing. DO NOT simply just answer the questions, they are to guide the paper. The paper should contain full sentences and correctly explain the review paper.
GUIDE QUESTIONS
Title:
Is the title effective and informative?
Is it descriptive or does it help the reader understand the message of the paper?
Abstract:
does the abstract summarize what is in the paper?
Does it represent the message of the paper?
Introduction
:
What topic are the scientists addressing? (i.e. Decode the title of the paper)
What area or topic of physiology? (Where does this fit the topics and section of our course syllabus?)
What fundamental physiological processes and themes were they studying? (What other physiologists and biologists would be interested in this paper? Who do the authors hope will read the paper?)
How do they introduce the subject? (How do they relate their specific experiments to other studies that have been published?)
How did they justify doing the review? (Why did they say their paper is timely?)
Do the authors provide linking text at the end of the introduction that helps the reader navigate the rest of the paper?
How is the rest of the paper organized? (If it is a review paper, it will not have a traditional methods and materials section)

What is the logic to this organization?
Review each section and state:
What body of literature has the section covered, and
what were the authors able to conclude from that literature?
Summary statements
Are there any overarching conclusions?
Does the order parallel the order in the presentation of the sections?
How has this research changed the way people think about the world?
Were there any new “facts” discovered?
Do they discuss the broader implication(s) of their findings?
Did they suggest what kinds of studies might be done next?
Who funded the research? Could that influence the work?
Your interpretation
How important do you judge this paper to be?
What ideas or techniques were difficult to understand?
List any term you were unable to understand or look up in a biology text book.
Did you find the review paper easier to understand or more interesting than a standard research paper?
