Does the report describe an explicit theoretical or conceptual framework for the study? If not, does the absence of a framework detract from the study’s significance or its conceptual integration?
Does the report adequately describe the significant features of the theory or model so that readers can understand the conceptual basis of the study?
Is the theory or model appropriate for the research problem? Does the purported link between the problem and the framework seem contrived?
Is the theory or model used as the basis for generating hypotheses, or is it used as an organizational or interpretive framework? Was this appropriate? 
Do the hypotheses (if any) naturally flow from the framework?
Are the concepts defined in a way that is consistent with the theory? If there is an intervention, are intervention components consistent with the theory?
Does the researcher tie the study findings back to the framework at the end of the report? Are the findings interpreted within the context of the framework?
