Explanation

Scholarly literature should include published and unpublished reports of research as well as primary and secondary sources. This means that it should encompass both research findings that have been published in academic journals or books, as well as research that has not yet been officially published. Additionally, it should include both primary sources, which are original research studies, and secondary sources, which are interpretations or analyses of primary sources. Including a variety of sources ensures that scholarly literature is comprehensive and reliable.

7. What are characteristics of the literature review required for a quantitative research study? Select all that apply.

Explanation

The characteristics of the literature review required for a quantitative research study include the use of doctoral dissertations and masters' theses as excellent sources of information. These academic works often provide in-depth research and analysis that can contribute to the study. Additionally, computer-accessed materials are acceptable as they provide easy access to a wide range of scholarly articles and research papers. It is important to note that primary sources, such as original research studies, are considered more important than secondary sources in a literature review for quantitative research.

Submit
8. What does a level-of-evidence model use to evaluate the strength of a research study and its findings? Select all that apply.

Explanation

A level-of-evidence model uses quality, quantity, and consistency to evaluate the strength of a research study and its findings. Quality refers to the rigor and reliability of the study design, methodology, and analysis. Quantity refers to the sample size and statistical power of the study. Consistency refers to the agreement or replication of the study's findings across multiple studies or sources. These factors help determine the credibility and generalizability of the research, allowing for a more accurate assessment of its strength.

Submit
9. Reviews of the literature are conducted for PURPOSES OF RESEARCH as well as for the CONSUMER OF RESEARCH. How are these reviews similar? Select all that apply.

Explanation

Both conducting reviews of the literature for research purposes and for the consumer of research require a high degree of critical reading. In order to effectively analyze and evaluate the existing literature, it is important to critically assess the strengths and weaknesses of each source. Additionally, both types of reviews recognize the importance of conceptual literature, as it provides the theoretical framework and foundation for the research being conducted or reviewed.

Submit
10. Which research process steps may be noted in an article's abstract? Select all that apply.

Explanation

The steps that may be noted in an article's abstract are identifying the phenomenon, research question study purpose, and design. The abstract typically provides a concise summary of the research, including the main focus or phenomenon being studied, the research question or study purpose, and the design or methodology used to conduct the research. The literature review, although an important part of the research process, may not always be mentioned in the abstract as it focuses more on the background and existing knowledge on the topic rather than the specific steps of the research process.
