商品簡介
In this concise volume, Shon (criminology, U. of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada) explains to advanced undergraduate and graduate students writing theses, literature reviews, and essays how to critically read an article from a social science journal to improve their writing process. He teaches them how to approach articles as texts that can be analyzed structurally, mechanically, and grammatically, with specifics on how to use codes related to critiquing and cultivating ideas and claims, such as gaps in the literature, results of findings, rationales, or missing an obvious point. He introduces readers to the origins of the reading code sheet and the grading code sheet it is based on, and using excerpts from sociology, criminology, communication, and psychology journals, shows how to read the various sections of an article using the reading code sheet, as well as using rulers, pens, and highlighters to read and organize information gathered, and the applicability of the reading code sheet to non-social science texts, philosophy in particular.
