ARTICLE ANALYSIS GRADING RUBRIC An essential skill, whether you enter the field of Biochemistry or a related discipline, is to be able to summarize and evaluate empirical research. Empirical research refers to research articles that present novel research findings (as opposed to providing an opinion or review). These readings and your textbook provide an overview of the breadth of the research on Biochemistry. As a first step towards completing a literature review for this project, you will need to: find a research article related to Biochemistry class subject what you are learning in this class, read and summarize the introduction, methods, results, and conclusions, and provide a critical analysis of the article and its relation to your topic. STEP#1: Finding an article You must find an EMPIRICAL (research) article related to Class of interest to the Biochemistry subject. Some of your search should be following the example but no need to be similar, you can look for any journal with full article available: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C10&as_vis=1&q=glycolysis+an d+cancer+full+article&btnG= • https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C10&as_vis=1&q=citric+acid+c ycle+research+article+full+article&btnG= • https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=biochemistry&filter=simsearch2.ffrft&filter=years .2018-2024&sort=date&sort_order=asc&format=abstract STEP#2: Reading your article Read the article in full and understand the scientific language. You may corelate you understanding with Subject, any additional reading is recommended to understand the scientific paper. STEP#3: Writing your summary and analysis. Your summary and analysis should not exceed 3 pages, double spaced, in 12pt. Times New Roman font. Your paper should include your full first and last name, Your paper should then include the following information: Summary: What theoretical idea(s) or research questions inspired the study? What methods were used to investigate the topic? What were the most notable results? What implications do the results have for real life and/or for future research? • Analysis: How do these findings relate to your Biochemistry's topic? How does this research help to answer your question? What were the main strengths of the article? What did you thinkthe authors did especially well in describing or analyzing their results? What interpretations did the authors make that you think are in error, unjustified, or over- stated?What lingering questions do you have? Include the full reference for the paper you are analyzing at the end. Youdo not need any additional citations for the assignment and this reference is not included in your page requirements. Submit your final analysis in Word or PDF online via Dropbox. The grading rubric for this assignment is below. Points 15 GRADING RUBRIC FOR ARTICLE ANALYSIS Description Page 1 Summary Page 2 Analysis Format Mechanics Unacceptable (Below standards) The student does not clearly summarize the main points of the article (i.e., the main research question, methods, results, and implications) and/or includes inaccurate information. The student does not clearly move beyond a summary of the article to provide an analysis. No correlation with the Biochemistry class subject. No new ideas are contributed beyond what is in the article itself, or the analysis is overly confusing. Paper does not follow all formatting guidelines outlined in the syllabus, and either fails to cite the article, or cites in inaccurately. Grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors significantly detract from reading the paper. Basic sentence structure often includes poor structure (e.g., run-on sentences). Acceptable (Meets minimum standards) Most of the article is summarized, but the student may not clearly cover all aspects (i.e., the main research question, methods, results, and implications). The student provides an analysis of the article and corelates to the Biochemistry class subject. The ideas presented are mostly novel, going beyond what is in the article itself. Paper is 2 pages long, follows all formatting guidelines outlined in the syllabus, and accurately cites the article in APA format at the end. There may be a few grammatical, punctuation, and/or spelling errors, but overall they do not detract too much from reading the paper. Basic sentence structure is good (e.g., avoids run-on sentences, sentence structure is solid). Good (Exceeds minimum standards) The summary clearly outlines the main research question, methods, results, and implications in the student's own words. The student provides an insightful analysis of the article and perfectly corelates with the Biochemistry class subject. The student articulates novel ideas that clearly go beyond what is in the article itself. The analysis is clear and rational. Paper is 2 pages long, follows all formatting guidelines outlined in the syllabus, and accurately cites the article in APA format at the end. Grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors are RARE and do not detract from reading the paper. Basic sentence structure is good (e.g., avoids run-on sentences, sentence structure is solid).
