Identifying Relevant Literary Artifacts by Reading an Abstract

Generally, students start reading an article at the beginning and read it straight through to the end. Reading in a linear fashion is not the most efficient approach to evaluate academic literature. Researchers take a more strategic approach in order to quickly sort articles and identify what sources are relevant to their project.

Read
only the abstract of each of the five articles in the Study Materials for this topic. Using only the information from the abstract, choose the one article that is most relevant to your program and emphasis area
. Address the following based solely on what you read in the abstract. Type your answers in this document to submit for grading. Save your document as a Word document with the file namein this format: LastName.FirstName.RES820.ReadingResearch. You can delete all of the prior information before submission.

1. Provide the full APA reference for the article you chose.
This should be the VERY first thing I see in this section.

1. Paraphrase the problem being addressed in the study. Make sure to use paragraph form (90-200 words) and do not copy and paste from the article

1. Summarize the main points of the study. Answer this question in paragraph form (90-200 words).

1. State your initial thoughts about what you read. What ideas did it give you about the topic? Try writing in 3rd person with your response. You need to get the in the habit of developing a consistent 3rd person voice. Answer this question in paragraph form (90-200 words).

1. Describe how the abstract influences a researcher’s decision to delve deeper into the article. Answer this question in paragraph form (90-200 words).

Reading Strategically to Improve Efficiency

Read the entirety of the article you selected in the order listed below. Take notes on the sections as you go being certain to answer the questions before moving on to read the next section. Include your notes and answers to the questions in this document for submission. You can delete all of the prior information before submission.

1. Findings and Conclusions: What are the main findings from the topic? Why are they important? How does reading the conclusion first help a researcher determine if a source is relevant enough to continue to read? Answer this question in paragraph form (90-200 words). DO NOT COPY AND PASTE FROM THE ARTICLE

1. Methodology: What is the methodology (quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods)? Who/what comprised the population? What was the sample size? How was the sample determined? How did the researcher(s) collect data (instruments, surveys, interviews, etc.)? How does reading the methodology section help a researcher better understand the context for the study? Answer this question in paragraph form (90-200 words). DO NOT COPY AND PASTE FROM THE ARTICLE

1. Literature Review: How does the literature review provide a logical discussion of the background of the problem being investigated? Did the author(s) do a good job of explaining the context you need to understand the problem being addressed? Explain. What seems to be the purpose of the literature review section of a study? Answer this question in paragraph form (90-200 words). DO NOT COPY AND PASTE FROM THE ARTICLE

1. Introduction: How did the author(s) create an argument for why the study needed to be completed? What were the issues that led the author to investigate this problem? Answer this question in paragraph form (90-200 words). DO NOT COPY AND PASTE FROM THE ARTICLE

1. Discussion: How do the author(s) address their research questions? Why might a researcher read this section last? Answer this question in paragraph form (90-200 words). DO NOT COPY AND PASTE FROM THE ARTICLE

Gathering Additional Resources

When researchers read academic literature, they have “a thumb on the back page.” That is, they keep the reference section readily accessible while reading the article. This technique allows them to investigate the reference page of the study while reading the article. This is one way of gathering additional resources that could be used for their own research projects.

Complete the following steps for this part of the assignment and include your answers in this document for submission. You can delete all of the prior information before submission.

1. Return to the article you selected and find a source cited in the literature review. Then, find the corresponding reference on the reference page. Copy the full APA reference for the source to your document for submission.

2. Look up the article title in the GCU Library. Was the article available to read?

3. Look up the title in Google Scholar (scholar.google.com). Is the article available? Using Google Scholar, find two articles that cited this source. If the article is not available, identify two alternatives provided by Google Scholar.

4. How does this technique help you understand that the research process is ongoing? How does this technique help you to locate more current literature? Answer this question in paragraph form (90-200 words).

Reflection

Write a reflection (250-500 words) about your interaction with the reading strategy presented in this assignment. Address the following items and your reflection in this document for submission:

1. How is this approach different from your current reading strategy?

2. How was it uncomfortable?

3. How can you begin to incorporate into your practice?

4. Why is it important to read literature in this fashion?

5. Was there a moment when you had enough information about the article to stop reading and move on to another article?

This section can use 1st person but should be written in paragraph form exclusively. Do not write responses to each question rather compile your thoughts into a 250-500 word reflection. Keep paragraphs to between 90-150 words and cite appropriately throughout. You can delete all of the prior information before submission.

Appendix A: Transcript of Video RES-820 Reading Research

The following is a transcript of the video

RES-820 Reading Research.

Welcome to discussion of our module to writing exercise reading research

The central objective of this exercise is to move away from a linear approach to reviewing articles start to finish, to an approach that provides an efficient means of identifying relevant information that potentially contributes to our own work.

To begin we’ve provided you some articles – but you’re only going to read one of these articles from start to finish to complete the assignment.

After you’ve read through the abstracts of each of the articles, we are identifying the single article that aligns with our field of study and degree program.

From there we are going to address questions in section one of the exercise.

Now, many researchers begin the process of identifying relevant research by reading through the abstract of an article.

The abstract typically falls at the beginning of a work.

The abstract specifically offers us a quick way to understand applicability in the study to our work or research by providing a clear concise summary of a research project.

Information we tend to see in the abstract includes the purpose of the research which generally speaking refers to “what the researchers wanted to know.”

We also sometimes find the method of collecting and analyzing data, as well as a brief statement of the research findings.

The second step in our process is going to be reading strategically, and specifically reading strategically to improve efficiency.

Now something important to keep in mind: researchers generally read differently.

This has to do with differences in academic background or methodological foundations.

Many of us are generally used to reading articles from start to finish: a thorough reading from Page 1 to the last page in to the references section.

Generally speaking, this isn’t the best use of our time especially in the early stages of research project development.

Once you assemble your reading list from the reviews of article abstracts you want to begin your review process starting with the findings and conclusions sections frequently located at the end of an article.

This can help a researcher determine relevance of an article and whether or not you should even continue to read!

If the material looks promising, we can move to the Methods section to find out who or what provided the data.

From there we can move to the Literature Review section to better understand the context for the study.

Again keep in mind literature reviews may also appear differently.

Most often a literature review provides context for a study which may take a historical and longitudinal approach while others may take a more narrow approach focusing on contemporary studies.

Additionally, literature reviews should contain seminal works determining the foundation of the research position.

At this point more reading opportunities can be pulled from the literature review for examination which takes us to a practice of ‘keeping our thumb on the back page of the article’ – the references section – to gather additional resources we can use in our own research project

To this end we are going to go into our article that we selected; we are going to gather additional resources leveraging similar works in the literature review; we are also going to review and locate that source on both the reference page of the original article; and we are going to locate the article from the references section in the GCU library and within Google Scholar.

Those efforts help us to ascertain whether the article is even available to us.

It is one thing to locate the article in the references section of our original source. It is quite another then to gain access to that specific work.

At this point in our work we are also going to be identifying two additional articles that cite the source we pulled from the references section of our original research article.

You see that option here: cited by 43 other sources here.

Then those sources citing our secondary work.

Make note of the two references that we are identifying within this additional set of sources.

In this instance our first source might be this article from 2008 published in the NASPA Journal.

Two questions were also going to address when gathering additional sources ask us how this technique has helped us to understand that the research process is ongoing – (the research process) is not static, it is historical and longitudinal.

In other words we need to keep in mind research examining a topic and focus takes place over the course of many years in some instances.

This brings us to the second question of how our technique of identifying additional resources can help us to locate more current literature?

See who is citing this work and we see here a potential source published in 2017.

The last element of the exercise is the reflection portion of our work.

How has this new approach to reviewing literature different from the way we’ve previously or perhaps are currently still reading literature?

Was the adjustment in our process a comfortable one or were there areas we felt out of sorts of perhaps uncomfortable?

How can we begin to incorporate this new approach to reading articles into our review practice ongoing?

Why might this be an important way to review literature systematically and consistently; we are repeating this approach over and over remember reading for efficiency?

What means of organizing information will you employ as you build a list of reading material to address when you’re ready to sit down and read each with more depth?

These questions and others will revisit and return to in the coming days and weeks.

Hello, I need your help with an assignment it is due 2/4/2022. I’m getting all the work together.

Topics

Hi Class,

Upcoming in this topic we have our 1st assignment in the course. I would like to provide you a bit of direction to help you do your best.

THIS IS IMPORANT — THERE IS ONLY ONE OF THE FIVE ARTICLES THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR DEGREE (THIS IS KIND OF LIKE THE DMV WHERE THERE MIGHT BE MULTIPLE ANSWERS THAT COULD BE ARGUED BUT YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWER)– HINT – LOOK AT THE TITLES OF THE JOURNALS IN ADDITION TO THE TITLES OF THE ARTICLES.

Yes, when you ultimately conduct your dissertation research, you will choose journals outside of your specialty, BUT for the purposes of this assignment it is important that you learn to evaluate the articles and the sources to decide which one matches your program. Before you get mad at me because I am NOT going to tell you prior to the assignment which one is correct, I will give you a few hints –

1. Your degree is organizational LEADERSHIP. Focus on your degree not on your emphasis or what passion you may have in a particular area.

2. You are NOT getting a degree in education specifically, or counseling, or psychology. (hint hint – look at the titles of the journals)

3. You are not getting a degree in business or management (hint hint – look at the journal titles).

4. Once you have done all of that, you will likely have two articles that you will think might could fit.

5. Of those two, remember, your degree is not specifically in education (hint hint – look at the titles of the articles)

6. Now if you have done ALL of these steps, you should have a single article that fits the bill of organizational leadership. DO NOT message asking which one it is or if you have the correct article. I will refer you back to this list.

Okay, now that we have cleared that up, here are specifics about the assignment –

1. Watch the video –
RES-820

Reading Research

BEFORE beginning this assignment. My colleague, Dr. Kelly, does an excellent job of breaking down all the parts of this assignment.

2. Download the template that I have provided for this assignment. You will note the one that I have provided is formatted as per APA and does remove some of the extra wording.

3. Read the abstracts only for the FIVE articles from the Topic 2 study materials and choose the ONE article that matches your degree and emphasis. Remember, this class encompasses many different degrees and thus that is why you have to choose the one that matches your degree. Trust me, we are not trying to confuse you. See my steps above. Trust me, it will make your life much easier to do so.

4. Type directly on the template provided.

5. For part 1 of the assignment, you are to answer the questions using only the abstract of the chosen article. One sentence does not suffice to thoroughly answer the questions. You need at the very least one paragraph (90-200 words) for each question (other than question 1 which is the APA reference). You MAY NOT write in 1st person. It is important to establish a consistent 3rd person voice even when you are answering regarding your own thoughts and ideas.

6. For part 2 of the assignment, you will need to read the entire article and answer those questions. Again, you need to answer in paragraph form and you cannot copy and paste from the articles. You need to paraphrase in your own words and cite the author(s) appropriately.

7. For part 3 of the assignment, using the chosen article, examine the references and choose one of the articles in the reference to complete this section. Questions 1-3 do not need paragraphs but question 4 does need to be answered in paragraph form.

8. For part 4 of the assignment, this should entirely be in paragraph form. Use the questions to form your reflection but do not use the numbers in your response. Keep your reflection between 250-500 words and 1st person is fine in this section only but you should include in-text citations to support your writing as appropriate.

I know multi part assignments can be difficult so please if you have questions, reach out to me in the Questions to Instructor or Messages.

God bless,

Dr. Davis

Yes, when you ultimately conduct your dissertation research, you will choose journals outside of your specialty, BUT for the purposes of this assignment it is important that you learn to evaluate the articles and the sources to decide which one matches your program. Before you get mad at me because I am NOT going to tell you prior to the assignment which one is correct, I will give you a few hints –
1. Your degree is organizational LEADERSHIP. Focus on your degree not on your emphasis or what passion you may have in a particular area.
2. You are NOT getting a degree in education specifically, or counseling, or psychology. (hint hint – look at the titles of the journals)
3. You are not getting a degree in business or management (hint hint – look at the journal titles).
4. Once you have done all of that, you will likely have two articles that you will think might could fit.
5. Of those two, remember, your degree is not specifically in education (hint hint – look at the titles of the articles)
6. Now if you have done ALL of these steps, you should have a single article that fits the bill of organizational leadership. DO NOT message asking which one it is or if you have the correct article. I will refer you back to this list.
Okay, now that we have cleared that up, here are specifics about the assignment –

1. Watch the video –

RES-820 Reading Research

BEFORE beginning this assignment. My colleague, Dr. Kelly, does an excellent job of breaking down all the parts of this assignment.

2. Download the template that I have provided for this assignment. You will note the one that I have provided is formatted as per APA and does remove some of the extra wording.
3. Read the abstracts only for the FIVE articles from the Topic 2 study materials and choose the ONE article that matches your degree and emphasis. Remember, this class encompasses many different degrees and thus that is why you have to choose the one that matches your degree. Trust me, we are not trying to confuse you. See my steps above. Trust me, it will make your life much easier to do so.
4. Type directly on the template provided.
5. For part 1 of the assignment, you are to answer the questions using only the abstract of the chosen article. One sentence does not suffice to thoroughly answer the questions. You need at the very least one paragraph (90-200 words) for each question (other than question 1 which is the APA reference). You MAY NOT write in 1st person. It is important to establish a consistent 3rd person voice even when you are answering regarding your own thoughts and ideas.
6. For part 2 of the assignment, you will need to read the entire article and answer those questions. Again, you need to answer in paragraph form and you cannot copy and paste from the articles. You need to paraphrase in your own words and cite the author(s) appropriately.
7. For part 3 of the assignment, using the chosen article, examine the references and choose one of the articles in the reference to complete this section. Questions 1-3 do not need paragraphs but question 4 does need to be answered in paragraph form.
8. For part 4 of the assignment, this should entirely be in paragraph form. Use the questions to form your reflection but do not use the numbers in your response. Keep your reflection between 250-500 words and 1st person is fine in this section only but you should include in-text citations to support your writing as appropriate.
I know multi part assignments can be difficult so please if you have questions, reach out to me in the Questions to Instructor or Messages.
God bless,
Dr. Davis
