In 300 or more words, explain how you will tell the difference between a published research report from a peer-reviewed nursing journal and all other forms of articles.
Hint:
How can you tell if an article appearing in a nursing journal is a study? In journals that specialize in research (e.g., the journal Nursing Research), most articles are original research reports, but in specialty journals, there is usually a mix of research and nonresearch articles. Sometimes you can tell by the title, but sometimes you cannot. You can tell, however, by looking at the major headings of an article. If there is no heading called Method or Research Design (the section that describes what a researcher did) and no heading called Findings or Results (the section that describes what a researcher learned), then it is probably not a study.
