  • Summary

    Chapter 9 focuses on using the CERIC method to compare two research articles. This chapter first motivates this practice as an essential activity in placing research in context and understanding the broader scope of a research area. It then discusses how one finds similar papers for comparison, emphasizing references, citations, and “similar paper” searches to select suitable articles for comparison. This chapter then delves into using the CERIC elements to conduct a detailed comparative analysis across texts, highlighting case studies to demonstrate this approach. This chapter describes methods of visually comparing CERIC elements to aid in interpreting commonalities and differences. It guides readers through turning the original CERIC reviews and comparisons into a coherent summary illustrated with practical examples.
