Lecture 20: Activity - Reading an Academic Paper

Today's class is an ONLINE class.

Please complete the following steps by the end of class (11:50am).


  1. Please review my lecture in which I outline some easy steps to follow in order to read an academic article (Lecture 18) 
  2. Start a new google doc. Include your name and "Reading an Academic Paper" in the title
  3. Using google scholar OR the University databases, please choose an academic (i.e. peer-reviewed!) article on a topic of your choice (it might be related to your discipline or even our class!)
  4. Write the article information in APA style (noting author, journal, date etc...). 
  5. Note the key words from the title and what you EXPECT the article to argue/explore etc...
  6. Follow the steps that I have outlined in chart form on slide 23 of Lecture 18
  7. In the google doc please note the key words associated with each reading step. For example, step 1 asks you to read the section headers. Make a note of the key words of each header.
  8. Work your way through the remainder of the steps, all the while noting the section (abstract, introduction etc...) and listing the key words
  9. Identify sign-posting in your article. Note the cause and effect words that I have suggested on slide 24 of my lecture powerpoint. How many are in your paper and where do they appear? Note this in your google doc.
  10. Identify more sign-posting. Note the additive words (as on slide 25 of lecture 18). How many are in your paper. What are some key instances? Note this in your google doc.
  11. Add a comment to this lecture post with your name and a link to your google doc. Don't forget to make your google doc available to anyone with the link OR you can just share it with me: jlaccettiATgmail.com


As usual, feel free to e-mail me or send me a tweet with any questions or requests for clarification.

    I chose an article on Navicular disease in horses which was very interesting to me.
    Going through this step-by-step process really makes it easier to grasp the information and really understand it. I find myself more engaged with the material this way, rather than reading straight through in one shot. It helps to break it down and make it less overwhelming. However, I did at times find the jumping around in the sections to be a bit confusing. It will take practice to get out of my old article reading habits, but I will definitely implement some of these techniques in my future readings.

    Here is the link to my assignment.

    I chose an article that I had to read for another class, and I found that these tips were really helpful for understanding what the article was about. I did found that it took a lot longer to read the article by doing all these steps, but in the future I will definitely apply some of these steps in my readings - especially if I find the material I am reading to be dry.

    The article I chose was about a study done examining the shelf life extension of cooked ham by means of hydrostatic pressure and natural preservatives. This was of interest to me since I am a food business management major. Shelf life is an important aspect from a business perspective since spoilage occurs less frequently thus reducing waste when sales turnover are lower than expected.

    I chose an article examining the difference in movement in stock-type horses with aluminum and steel shoes. I found this very interesting as it relates to both the field of study I am pursuing and what I do outside the classroom. I found it easier to read in the article this way. Although it did take longer to read the first time, with some practice it will help speed up the reading and understanding process.

    Thanks everyone for sharing your articles and your findings. Many of you have made some very interesting observations! I like how a few of you have linked your own experience to the argument in the article. For example, on student had experience with a type of horse disease and before reading the findings, made her own deduction based on her experience.

    I would love to have made comments on your google docs but many of you kept the document as "view only." If you'd like me to add some comments, please feel free to give me access to editing/commenting and I'll add in my thoughts.

    I understand this is a new method for almost all of you and some of you noted that it was difficult but, as some of you added, the more you do it the faster/better you'll be at picking out the pertinent information from an academic text.
