<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><strong>How to Critique Journal Articles in the Social Sciences</strong>, by Scott R. Harris, is a brief, introductory book that provides readers with a step-by-step guide to reading and understanding a social science research article. The author demonstrates the many strengths of social research, including its advantages over ordinary ways of knowing things, and, at the same time, points out that research is inevitably flawed. Rather than naively assuming that good research simply produces The Truth or cynically asserting that research is hopelessly biased and futile, this book instills in readers a critical perspective--one that appreciates the strengths and weaknesses of any piece of scholarship.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>How to Critique Journal Articles in the Social Sciences</strong>, by Scott R.

I don't know of another resource that addresses this topic as well for LIS students.--Chad Morgan<br><br>The one main theme that I liked as I read the book is how the author took a real-world approach to research and using evidenced-based sources while incorporating critical thinking skills and reflection.--Brian Christenson<br>
