WHO WHEN WHERE WHY HOW Process HOW Methodology WHAT RECOMMEND-ATIONS ARTICLE DOI 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.)

( No title page needed for this assignment: excel document only) 3OPENANDUSE-NavigatingResearchArticles-2024.pdf Navigating Research Articles When summarizing research articles, students should identify the following elements that provide the reader with a high-level understanding of the quality of research undergone in an article. This can help students decide if a research article is right for their work. Required Element Common Places to Look Common Indicator Words Who (conducted the research)? - Top of an article, near the title Why (was the study conducted [purpose])? - Abstract - Introduction - the purpose of the study… - …in order to… - …to understand… - …to explore… When (was data collected)? - Abstract - Methodology/Methods - Data Collection Not to be confused with the publication year. *** If secondary research was conducted, look for the researchers’ search parameters. Did they only look at data within a certain timeframe? *** Where (was data collected)? - Abstract - Introduction - Methodology/Methods - Data Collection Not to be confused with the location of the publishing journal. *** If secondary research was conducted, look for the researchers’ search parameters. Did they only look at data from a specific location? *** How (data was collected [research methodology + description)? Brief mention may be found… - Abstract - Introduction For description see… - Methodology/Methods - Data Collection *** Think of details about participants – gender, age, demographic. Was a survey used? Were interviews done? Face-to- face? Over the phone? Look for tables with questions. *** What (was found [findings/results])? Brief mention may be found… - Abstract For summary see… - Findings - Discussion - Conclusion - …it was found… - …results indicate… - …findings suggest… Limitations (what did the researchers identify as limitation [weakness] of the study?) - Methods - Limitation - Discussion - Conclusion …limitations to the study were… …acknowledged the following limitations to the study… …a limitation to the study was… Types of Methodology/Research Design Common Indicator Words/Themes to Look For PRIMARY Research Methodologies/Designs Qualitative - Participants/description of participants - Interviews - Questionnaire/open-ended - Survey/open-ended - Focus groups - Seeing exact wording from participants’ responses Quantitative - Participants/description of participants - Survey/close-ended - Questionnaire/close-ended - Multiple Choice Survey - Seeing percentages or numerical figures - Likert scale Mixed-Method This one is a combination of the above two. It is often conducted in phases. - First phase/stage/step (this is typically qualitative in nature) - Second phase/stage/step (this is typically quantitative in nature) - Coding words to quantify the frequency of mentions among participants (Nvivo or other systems can do this, so researchers may make mention of a program that helped them code) - Likert Scale SECONDARY Research Methodologies/Designs Literature Review Literature reviews will not have their own participants to gather data from; they use existing information from varying databases. - Systematic literature review - Names of databases included - Keywords researchers used included - Number of articles/studies used is indicated PRIMARY OR SECONDARY Research Methodologies/Designs Meta-Analysis - Can include primary/secondary but uses significant statistical analysis to identify trends among many similar types of studies - Often studies trends over a period of time
