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...
What is an average time to spend on specific article to do critical appraisal of it? .....to present as a student of postgrad program... Thanks in advance sir
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

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
