| Who conducted the research |
What year was the research conducted (if lit. review, what years were used as criteria to select literature? (HINT: see HOW process column) |
Where was the data collected (if lit. review, what locations were used as criteria to select articles? (HINT: see HOW process column) |
Why was the research conducted (what did the researchers hope to learn?) (HINT: often starts with “in order to…”) |
Describe the process (like a cookbook recipe so it can be recreated): – for PRIMARY research (qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods) include who the participants were, how many, how were they selected, what kinds of questions were asked? – for SECONDARY research (lit. review and meta-analysis) include how they chose their articles (inclusion and exclusion criteria) |
Name one of the 5 we learned (qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods, lit. review, or meta-analysis) |
What the researchers learned – the results (tell this like a story) |
What recommendations did the researchers make? (HINT: usually in discussion or conclusion sections) |
(Hint: the DOI will always start with 10. Look in the upper left corner, in the margins, or at the end of the article for it.) |
