The purpose of this assignment is to examine the nursing literature for evidence relevant to the research problem identified in Week One (1) and develop an annotated bibliography. The sources in the annotated bibliography will be included in the literature review of your Research Proposal. An annotated bibliography is a summary and analysis of the journal articles reviewed. For more information on annotated bibliographies, review the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVYmU4kXEhA
Search for current nursing research reports. Select three scholarly sources to construct an annotated bibliography. The Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources table offers guidance on appropriate source types. The table can be seen below.
Source type What is it? Examples Best used for
Scholarly A source written by scholars or academics in a field. The purpose of many scholarly sources is to report on original research or experimentation to make such information available to the rest of the scholarly community. The audience for scholarly sources is other scholars or experts in a field. Scholarly sources include references and usually use language that is technical or at a high reading level.
*Note: Different databases may define scholarly in slightly different ways, and thus a source that is considered scholarly in one database may not be considered scholarly in another database. The final decision about the appropriateness of a given source for a particular assignment is left to the instructor. scholarly Journals
Journal of Management Information Systems
American Journal of Public Health
Early Childhood Research Quarterly
Scholarly Books (published by a university press or other high-quality publisher)
Sharia Politics: Islamic Law and Society in the Modern World
The Grand Design: Strategy and the U.S. Civil War
The Hidden Mechanics of Exercise: Molecules That Move Us Journal articles:
Recent research on a topic
Very specific topics or narrow fields of research
NOT good for an introduction to or broad overview of a topic
Books:
In-depth information and research on a topic
Putting a topic into context
Historical information on a topic
Peer Reviewed A publication that has gone through an official editorial process that involves review and approval by the authors peers (experts in the same subject area). Many (but not all) scholarly publications are peer reviewed.
*Note: even though a journal is peer reviewed, some types of articles within that journal may not be peer reviewed. These might include editorials or book reviews.
**Note: some publications (such as some trade journals) can be peer reviewed but not scholarly. This is not common. See Scholarly Journals above Books go through a different editorial process and are not usually considered to be peer reviewed. However, they can still be excellent scholarly sources. See above
Credible A source that can be trusted to contain accurate information that is backed up by evidence or can be verified in other trusted sources. Many types of sources can fall into this category.
*Note: The final decision about the appropriateness of a given source for a particular assignment is left to the instructor. See above. Also:
Newspapers
Magazines
Books
Trade journals or publications
Government websites
Websites from educational institutions (like universities)
Websites or other publications from reputable organizations (like the Mayo Clinic)
Encyclopedias (general or subject)
Many websites could be considered credible. The more information provided about the source, the more likely they are to be credible. Look for information about the author and/or the organization, how recently it was published, the intended audience, the intended purpose, and whether there is evidence of bias. 1. Basic/general/background information about a topic
2. Current events
3. Local news
4. Statistical data
Information about specific organizations or companies (look at the organizations or companys website, or look for articles in newspapers or trade journals)
5. Government information
6. Information about popular culture
7. Opinions or commentaries
8. Topics of general interest
The articles must come from nursing scholarly literature and may not be older than five years since publication. Note that the articles must be research based. Web pages, magazines, text, and other books are not acceptable. Regardless of whether your selected method is quantitative or qualitative, sources will include two quantitative studies and one qualitative study so you can compare, contrast, and evaluate the different approaches. Accordingly, the annotated bibliography will include three annotations.
Each annotation is not to exceed one page.
Each annotation must address the following critical elements:
1.Explanation of the main purpose and scope of the cited work
2.Brief description of the research conducted.
3.Value and significance of the work (e.g., studys findings, scope of the res
