OURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW

OURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW

INSTRUCTIONS

 Review and analyze a recent journal article (published within the 

last 5 years) from a peer-reviewed publication (e.g. American Journal of Tropical Medicine and 

Hygiene, Emerging Infectious Diseases, and The Journal of Infectious Diseases) about a disease 

or topic found in the readings. Evaluate the chosen paper against at least 4 other peer-

reviewed sources. Cite the  text; however, it does not count as one of your peer-

reviewed sources.

For each review, select an article about a topic from the required readings between each 

review assignment submission.  The goal of the assignment is to help link the 

current best practices identified in your text and the ongoing developments of research reflected 

in the peer-reviewed literature in support of learning outcomes A and B. Therefore, 

choose articles related to current epidemiologic trends for infectious diseases and/or the impact 

of the diseases and of the control measures on global populations. Special attention should be 

devoted to understanding the role of infectious agents as causes of morbidity and mortality in the 

context of economically developing nations.

Be sure to include the following elements:

 A clearly documented reference to best practices or standard of care

 Reported findings are completely and fairly assessed and critiqued

 A summary of the principal contents of the article under review

 Adequate information to understand the central themes and recommendations

 Paper, references, and citations all consistently follow current AMA formatting
