Read the article a few times. Trust me, you will need a few times as these articles are a bit complicated and technical. Many articles follow a similar organization: Abstract, Introduction, Review of the Literature, Hypothesis, Methodology (data collection and analysis), Results, and Conclusions. Each section will guide you to an understanding of the article.

– Overview – In a short paragraph, summarize the what the article is about. The article abstract will provide a high-level summary of the article.
– Key questions – What are the authors trying to answer? These are usually written in the form of hypotheses.
– Methodology – How was data collected? What methods did the authors use to obtain their data?
– Statistical technique(s) – What, if any, were the statistical technique(s) used to analyze the data? You can simply list them.

– Conclusions – Based on the research, what did the author(s) conclude?
– Limitations – What did the researchers indicate were the limitations of their study?
– Applications – Why is this research important to our business or the industry?
– Reference – Include at the end of your memo the complete citation of the article in APA format (Do not use a separate works cited page but do provide the complete citation should your reader wish to find the article.
