??(A few) Internal strengths and weaknesses of the article that you have identified. Internal refers to whether (or not) the authors’ conclusions are valid (unbiased) for the sample used to estimate the model. Typical weaknesses include a small sample, inaccurate measures, omitted variables, simultaneity, etc. Try to be specific as to the type of bias (over- or under-estimate) that might exist.

?? (A few) External strengths and weaknesses of the article that you have identified. External refers to whether (or not) the authors’ conclusions valid (unbiased) for a different population than that from which the sample used to estimate the model was drawn. How old are the data and would one get the same estimates under current conditions? Would one get the same estimates if the sample came from a different country, province, age group, ethnic group, etc? Try to be specific as to the type of bias (over- or under-estimate) that might exist.
