Papers should be no more than 3 pages long.
Also, upload the article reviewed in your paper with your submission.
One article should also be evaluated using the quality assessment tool for quantitative studies. Please upload this evaluation with your paper.
So what should this paper look like? This paper is, in essence, a miniature literature review but focused on your critique of each papers’ use of the appropriate quantitative methodology. You will each come up with a question/ topic that is the focus of your literature review. (All the papers you use should be on the same topic.) You will select 1 (one) article on your question, topic. Once you have the articles, I recommend that you do the quality assessment tool first as you will write up your summary about the article based upon this critique process in your paper. When you write your paper, set it up as in the rubric: An introduction specifying your question/topic, then move into the critque/evaluation of each article separately, then summarize your overall opinion of the quality of the data on the topic and provide a conclusion/ discussion on the merits of the research in this area. If you have questions, please let me know.
The goal of this paper is not to summarize the outcomes of the articles- but instead determine if the articles emerged from quality research. You are evaluating the selection/ enrollment of the sample, the methodology of the data collection and analysis, and whether the authors made the appropriate leaps from the data to their conclusions/ recommendations. In the end, do you trust the quality of the outcome of their research? This is the answer you are trying to get to for each of the papers… then you determine if there is sufficent consensus between outcomes (with enough external validity) to justify implementation in the clinical environment.
This submission will include 3 items: Your appraisal paper, the article reviewed in your appraisal paper, and the quality assessment (Using the quality assessment tool).
