JOURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
For this Journal Article Review Assignment, you will read one of the articles from the
professional, peer-reviewed journal articles provided in the Learn section of Module 1, Week 1.
You will then write an article review based on your chosen article.
INSTRUCTIONS
Your Journal Article Review Assignment must be approximately 4–5 double-spaced pages
(not including the title and reference pages) and must be created in a Microsoft Word document.
Use the following guidelines to create your Journal Article Review Assignment:
1. Provide a title page in current APA format. Divide your summary into sections with
the following Level One headings: Summary, Interaction, and Application (review the
current APA Manual for guidance on levels of headings if needed). An abstract is not
needed for this assignment. For more information on how the title page should look
according to Liberty University Standards, please reference this website:
https://www.liberty.edu/online/wp-content/uploads/APA-7th-Sample-PaperGraduate.pdf
2. Develop a summary of the main concepts from the article. Do not duplicate the
article’s abstract. If the article describes a research study, include brief statements about
the hypotheses, methods, results, discussion, and implications. If any test measures or
statistical methods used are given in the article, do not provide detailed descriptions of
these. Short direct quotations from the article are acceptable, but avoid long quotations in
a paper this size. This section is the foundation of your Journal Article Review
Assignment (at least a third of your paper). Make sure that you include the core points
from the article, even if it means a longer section.
3. In your own words, interact (in approximately 2 pages) with the article. Appropriate
comments for this part of the Journal Article Review Assignment should include, but
are not limited to: your initial response to the article, comments regarding the study’s
design or methodology (if any), insights you gained from reading the article, your reasons
for being interested in this particular article, any other readings that you may plan to do
based upon having read the article, and other thoughts you have that might further
enhance the discussion of your article. Your subjective comments in this section must be
clearly tied to main points from the article, not peripheral ideas. You are highly
encouraged to consider any other information from previous articles or textbooks you
may have read in previous courses, or in other places you have encountered information
relating to the themes in the article you are reviewing. For example, does the ACA Code
of Ethics have anything to say about the themes being discussed in your journal article?
Are there passages of Scripture that directly relate to the article? Are there ideas and
concepts from previous courses you have taken in your program here at Liberty or
elsewhere that relate to the article you have chosen? You are encouraged to include them,
and make sure you include proper citations and references at the end of your Journal

COUC 506
Article Review Assignment. The best papers from this assignment will be from students
who share other ideas from at least two other academic sources (with proper citations) in
this section, along with Scriptural insight.
4. In your final section (in approximately 1 page) write how you would apply the
information you have learned from this article to a particular counseling situation. This
could be in a church or clinical session. Develop this section as if you are a clinician, or
even a pastor, and your parishioner or client has come to you with a problem—grief,
depression, substance abuse, infidelity, etc.—and is needing your help. Adequately
describe the counseling scenario, including the presenting problem. Draw out concepts
from the article and apply the concepts from this article to the scenario. Show the reader
how you are expressly drawing from the journal article in this application section; be sure
to cite correctly in current APA format.
5. Provide the proper APA formatted citations in this assignment, as well as proper
references on the last page. Make sure that all in-text citations match the references of
your final reference page.
Remember that all papers in this program follow current APA format and are written per APA
Professional (not APA student paper) standards.
Be sure to review Journal Article Review Grading Rubric before beginning this Assignment.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
