Usually moves from general to specific
Start by establishing context, then more to content more closely related to your topic
Group by subtopics in a method of your choice
Break up into paragraphs or sections- introduction, body, conclusion
Discuss the relation between articles
Choose how to group your analysis:
Thematic, Methodological, Chronological, Argument based, Theory based
Use topic sentences to introduce content
Avoid:
Focusing a whole paragraph on a single article
Introducing articles and simply giving summaries
Simply writing the equivalent of an annotated bibliography in paragraph form
Citation managers format references in the style you choose (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago).
IU students have free access to several citation managers (i.e., "bibliographic software").
NOTE: Always check the accuracy of citations created through these tools. They can be very helpful, but may make mistakes.
