Epidemiology Literature Critique Outline and guidelines

Background  How well does the introduction to the paper synthesize and summarize what is currently known in the field with respect to research question?  Does the description of the background define a critical area of knowledge that is currently lacking and does it lead naturally into the research question under study?

Hypothesis  Is the research question clearly stated in the form of a measurable testable hypothesis?  What is the hypothesis?

Methods  Is a clear study design explicitly stated?  What is the study design?  Is a clear explanation for the choice of study design detailed in the methods?  Is the chosen study design appropriate given the stated hypothesis and the nature of the population under study?

Methods  What are the measures of occurrence used in the study?  What are the measures of association used in the study?  Are the measures of occurrence and association appropriate given the study design employed?  Are the statistical procedures employed appropriate given the scope of the measures of occurrence and association, and ultimately given the stated hypothesis?

Results  Are the results appropriately represented by tables and figures, and does the text appropriately highlight the salient features of these data representations?  Are tables and figures given adequate description such that they can be read and interpreted independently of the text of the paper?  Are point estimates presented with their appropriate measures of variance?  Do the authors report all of their findings? What, if anything, have they excluded and why?  Are the results internally coherent?  Are the results plausible?

Discussion  Do the authors succinctly summarize their results?  Do the authors interpret each of the important findings that are reported in the results?  Do the authors ground each of their interpretations in the existing literature?  Do the authors honestly discuss the strengths and limitations of their study?  What are the strengths and limitations?  Are the overall conclusions of the study appropriate?  Do the authors suggest avenues for future research?

Summary Assessment  Did the authors accomplish what they set out to accomplish with this study?  Is this study an appropriate addition to the scientific literature?
