Create a research question related to your problem statement and then conduct a Literature review.

 

·         Conduct background reading of your topic.

 

·         Select at least 5 research articles related to your problem statement.

 

Summarize in 1,050 to 1,500 words the articles that best support your research question. Be sure to:

 

·         Discuss components of a research study

 

·         Determine validity of study

 

·         Discuss strengths and weaknesses

 

·         Determine future research needs

 

·         Cite your sources with APA format

 

 

Remember that the 5 articles should be primary research articles. Not summaries of other studies or an editorial. Research studies will discuss the problem, hypothesis, aims, introduction/background, methodology, results, and discussion/conclusion.
