Article choice is very important, therefore:
Articles used for this assignment cannot be used for the other assignments (students should find new research articles for each new assignment).
The selected articles should be original research studies. Review articles, concept analysis, meta-analysis, meta-synthesis, integrative review, and systematic review articles should not be used.
Mixed-methods studies should not be used.
Dissertations should not be used
Ensure the following questions are addressed in each summary:
- What type of research is it (quantitative, qualitative, and design)?
- What was the research question(s) or hypothesis?
- What is the sample, the sample size, and sample attributes?
- What was the setting of the study?
- What were the researcher’s findings? (Identify one.)
