Cutcliffe, J. and Ward, M.  (2007)  Critiquing nursing research. 2nd ed, London: Quay Books.
Shelf mark 610.73072/CUT

Although this book is biased to mental health, it takes each of the methodologies of how to critique the nursing literature and evaluates them (Burns and Groves,  Morrisons,  Ryan-Wenger, Polit and Hungler, and Polit, Beck and Hungler).  Each chapter identifies the method of critique and includes a worked example, plus the strengths and weaknesses of each model.
