Critical thinking resource

This resource,  designed originally for a course at Heriot-Watt University, is intended to help researchers ensure that their work is sufficiently critical.

It consists of 36 slides, sorted into 6 themes. Each slide provides a prompt question or set of prompt questions. These prompts may be used to:

  • examine other researchers’ work critically (for example, when writing a literature review or when providing peer review)
  • examine one’s own work critically (for example, before submitting work for publication or examination)

The resource is hosted on Google docs. The link is here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/153RtXAy7pg3YtY5JoA7ObG6QNegNWL3q30uOPbQW7WI/edit.
