This assignment helps you identify and appreciate the characteristics of a top-quality research publication. It specifically addresses typical organization and style used when writing up primary research, also known as empirical research. In the process, it acquaints you research journals with George Mason library’s extensive collection of research databases.
STEP 1
1. Survey the professional journals and/or library databases to identify an article in your field that you feel exhibits the characteristics of a top-quality scientific publication.
a. Use one of the
research journals
you identified as professionally respected in your field and available through a George Mason research database
b. Make sure the author has appropriate credentials for his/her/their research
c. Choose an article
written
within the last 5 years
so information will be current
2. Be sure that the article is one you clearly understand. The article should be a minimum of 3 pages long and preferably no more than 15 pages long.
3.
BE SURE that you have chosen a study which reports an actual experiment carried out by the author(s), organized in IMRAD style.
(Sections may have slightly different titles if it is obvious that they follow the same order as an IMRAD article.)
a.
DO NOT SELECT
an editorial, a theoretical model, a case study, a report, a preprint (article written but not yet accepted by a respected journal), a survey or a meta-analysis.
b. To learn what a meta-analysis is, see “Study Design 101: Meta Analysis”
4. Save the article as a PDF file if it is not already in that format.
STEP 2
5. Use your critical thinking skills to screen the study, always looking for examples of excellence.
Make sure that the study is excellent in all the areas included in the Scoring Rubric for this assignment
.
6.
Create annotations within the article, explaining the ways that your article satisfies the criteria for excellence.
a. Since this is formal academic writing, remember to write in
third person
, without remarks about yourself.
b. Do not use slang or social media abbreviations, which are not appropriate to formal writing
7. If unfamiliar with annotating a PDF file, see the file “How to Annotate a PDF File Using Adobe Acrobat.” It is available in the Academic Discourse folder.
8. Cite
specific reasons
to show
why
each of the text areas you highlighted in the article supports your points.
9. Use material from at least
THREE OF OUR READINGS
OR VIDEOS
to justify your annotations
a. If you quote from one of our readings or videos, be sure to
Punctuate and cite quotations
correctly within the annotation, as you practiced last week.
STEP 3
10.
Add a References page
which gives correct entries for your article plus the other three or more resources you referenced in your annotations.
11.Format all entries in the
documentation format used in your discipline
.
STEP 4
12. Return to the link where you found this file.
13. Upload your annotated article to Blackboard as AcadAnalyourlastname
14. Be sure to submit the file on time.
