title: Basics of critiquing a research article.
abstract: Critiquing research papers helps a nurse remain current in the scientific literature. The critic examines the paper for components of the research process, i.e., literature review, methodology, results, and discussions. Nurses can enhance their reading of research by reading more research papers, participating in group critique sessions, participating in the research process, and contacting the researcher with questions as necessary.
