Problem/Purpose.
The purpose of the paper/project is clearly stated using a problem format.
The significance of the problem to be explored is addressed.
The problem statement is supported by appropriate literature and rationale.
The purpose flows from knowledge about the problem, those aspects not know, and the

Parameters of the problem are clearly defined and directly related to the purpose of the
paper/project.
Limitations and assumptions are clearly identified.Operational/Evaluation Questions
Questions posed by the paper/project are clearly stated and can be answered by the
method chosen
The level of operational/evaluation questions are consistent with the purpose, operational
framework and the plan.
Operational Framework/Review of the Literature (If you choose to omit the Methodology
section and only include a literature review section, you are strongly encouraged to review
examples of well-written literature reviews)
A conceptual/operational model may be used in the paper as a framework for studying the
problem.
Relationships among the problem elements and the framework used for the paper are
clear.
Evidence of review of previous relevant research/literature can be identified and is
appropriate.
Methodology (This section does NOT have to be included in the paper. If you choose to omit
this section, you must have a well-written review of the literature section with supporting
evidence from the literature.) I am not including a methodology section.

Discussion/Conclusions/Recommendations. Discussion and conclusions are consistent with the purpose, operational and contextual framework, methodology, literature review, and outcomes. Results are interpreted in light of previous research, the contextual framework of the project, the participants, and the paper’s author. Health care strategies and implications are included and recommendations made. Include areas for future research
Bibliography. A minimum of 20 scholarly (referred) and current sources in APA format.
Please Note:
I am uploading what I have written, so far. I need help with following the format, citations, eliminating plagiarism, APA 7th edition citing. Since I am not including a methodology section, the Literature Review, Discussion, Conclusions, Recommendations, and results need to be more robust. I am also not including a Results/Evaluation Method section. The familiarity index needs to be 5% or less (not including references). My email address is deviephipps@gmail.com
