¡ Does the author achieve their stated goal? ¡ flawed vs. successful articles ¡ How far does this author’s argument/finding carry? ¡ limitations of research, scope conditions ¡ How does this research fit in the collective enterprise of knowledge? ¡ misunderstandings, elisions, opacities ¡ possible future directions, extensions
