Insist crude novel is examined carefully (11)

I believe the answer is:

scrutinised

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is examined carefully' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'insist crude novel' is the wordplay.
'novel' indicates an anagram.
'insist'+'crude'='insistcrude'
'insistcrude' is an anagram of 'SCRUTINISED'.

Can you help me to learn more?
