How to write critical appraisal of a journal article
In this video, we are going to show you how to write critical appraisal of a journal article/s. This is an essential skill that every clinical should master.
Critical appraisal of medical journal articles is something at the core of evidence based medicine. A lot of clinicians ask me about writing critical appraisal of randomized controlled trials, critical appraisal of qualitative research, critical appraisal of systematic review etc. Well, there is no good yes or no answer to such questions. It comes with knowledge and a lot of practice. The critical appraisal skills programme CASP has some important tools. Personally I like the EQUATOR Network tools and checklist. At the ned of the video, you will learn the skills of writing critical appraisal of journal articles. You may use the same techniques to write critical appraisal of case control study, critical appraisal of RCT, critical appraisal of research article, critical appraisal of systematic review and meta-analysis. We will show you some critical appraisal tools here.
Happy watching!

Sir, I have a doubt, while writing a critical appraisal, should we write the headings such as Aim, Methods etc., or just the summary? Please help me

Great question! The best thing to do is to write the critical appraisal as per the tool kits. The way it reads better is by saying 1) what the authors have written, 2) what you think including the strengths and weaknesses followed by 3) an analysis as to how it is going to change your management if at all and finally 4) some recommendations. Hope that helps. Stay tuned! More videos on their way...

Great question! Thank you! The time taken per paper depends on multiple factors: 1) type of paper, 2) quality of paper, 3) your reading speed, 4) complexity of data , 5) the type of article you are writing to name a few. My approach is to read the abstract thoroughly at first to get a helicopter view of the article, then go through the methods, results and discussion. Finally go through the entire article. If you follow this strategy, it may take 2 to 3 hours per paper. There is also a short cut version of each steps. Perhaps, I will do another video on that topic. Cheers! Dr Barai
