This week please take the time and read Chapters one and chapters two in Tappen (2015).

Remember initial posts are 250 words and at least two responses of 150 words each are required with references to support your statements.

So, let us begin with a focus on stages of assembling a research study. According to Tappen (2015), the following components were identified:

• Identification of an interesting problem
• Problem exploration or interest area to find out what is known
• Definition of the research topic
• Generation of question or hypothesis
• Conducting the study
• Analyze the results
• Reporting the findings

Please take a moment to review this overview video of conducting research:

Regarding the literature review, I always like to ensure that I am utilizing superior levels of evidence to support my intended research. For example. I am developing a thesis about what type of evidence do I wish to include to establish my credibility as a researcher? Would you support an article from Wikipedia as opposed to a scholarly publication from Yale University? You want to select a scholarly publication from a higher level of evidence in comparison to a weak publication.

While yes there will be a significant amount of reading. You want to gather as much data as possible to review and eliminate the weaker sources that you found. Keep searching until you have exhausted your options. Source credibility is most important to ensure that the best level of evidence is available. We want to ensure that sources such as CINAHL, PubMed/MEDLINE, and ProQuest just to name a few (Tappen, 2015).  

Please take a moment to view this video gain an additional understanding of literature review.
