Article One Insert title of the paper

An article published in Insert the name of the Journal the article was published in (NCBI and Pubmed are not journals they are data bases) In this paragraph you will summarize the findings of the paper. The best way to continue this sentence is by using the word analyzed or investigated. You can also state what type of study it was (see my article two in assignment 2 example).

You do not want to use the words summarize or discusses to continue the sentence because you will be using what you write in this section in the paper. The point is to use this article as evidence to back up a point you are trying to make. This is how evidence based-science works. Because you are using this paragraph in your paper you need to write formally. Review my handout of formal writing if you do not know what that means.(Insert in text citation)

In this paragraph you will discuss how you know this is a scholarly source. If you do not know what that means you have not watched the videos I posted in the announcements for this week. You will need to review those before you proceed. Go to the Journal’s website and find the About Us tab. Here you can read about the journal. You are looking for the term “peer-reviewed” to know for sure it is a reliable source among others.

The purpose of this assignment is to also assess if you know what a scholarly journal is and if you know how to find articles published in them. This means that you cannot use .orgs or governmental websites for this assignment. You can use them in your paper but just not here. If you come across a good source that is not from a journal hang on to it and use it when you write the paper along with the scholarly articles you find for this assignment.

In this paragraph you will discuss in at least three sentences where in the paper you will be using this article. The purpose of this assignment is to save you time in writing your paper as well. You will need to review the outline for the section of the paper that is posted in the announcement for this week and emailed to your WCU account. It is important to reflect on this because the composing a paper should be intentional and planned. Scientific papers need to have fluidity and logical sequencing of information that relent.
