Peer review journal summary: Select 1 peer reviewed journal article containing a research study (i.e. American Journal of Sociology) dealing with any sociological concept. Summarize the main points of the article using your own words as well as including what interested you about the article and/or what you learned. You may disregard any specific examples, statistics, or highly technical language in your summary. Instead, focus on summarizing the “5 W’s” in a logical progression for your article. For example: who did the research & who did the research population consist of, what idea, concept or issue was examined & what was discovered, why they examined it, where did the study take place, and when did it occur. This summary should be 3-6 pages long and must have a copy of the article attached to the summary or send the link.
