- 2. • Journal articles are scholarly papers published in academic journals. They present original research, reviews, or theoretical discussions on specific topics. • Journal articles often include sections such as an abstract, introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and references, making them valuable resources for researchers and student.
- 3. TOPIC A topic is simply who or what is being talked or written about. A topic is never stated in a complete sentence. It can be stated as a word or as a phrase but never as a complete sentence. When looking for the topic of a written passage, look for the idea that is emphasized throughout the passage. It would help a lot if you would underline the key words in the selection so that you can easily spot the topic, as well as the main idea of the selection.
- 4. THE MAIN IDEA A main idea should be stated in one sentence only. If you cannot see one sentence in the written passage that would capture the whole idea of the text, then the main idea is probably not stated; rather, it is implied. A main idea is never a word, a phrase, or a question. It should be a complete declarative sentence.
- 5. There are two types of main ideas: STATED MAIN IDEA IMPLIED MAIN IDEA
- 6. STATED MAIN IDEA The stated main idea in journal articles is typically found in the abstract and introduction. It clearly outlines the research question, objectives, and the significance of study. This helps readers quickly grasp the focus of the research and its contribution to the field.
- 7. IMPLIED MAIN IDEA The implied main idea in journal articles refers to themes or messages that are not explicitly stated but can be inferred from the content.
