Reading Between the Lines: How to 
Study a Paper 
 
Whether you are using an evidence-
based model of practice, participating in 
a journal club, acting as a peer reviewer, 
or are a regular reader of research 
articles, learning how to critically 
evaluate a paper is an essential skill. 
Critical evaluation requires the reader to 
ask specific questions regarding the 
research methodology, data analysis 
and the presentation of results. These 
questions will be identified and 
discussed in this workshop, as several 
evaluation tools will be presented. 
Participants will work in groups in 
which they will critically evaluate a 

research article and present their 
findings. This lively, hands-on 
workshop will provide participants with 
the necessary tools to approach and 
challenge research with inquisitiveness.
