A research summary is a brief overview of conducted research – typically an article from a peer-reviewed academic journal. Research summaries describe the research to readers, helping them to engage with and interpret the work. When done effectively, a research summary accurately and concisely captures the essence of the research effort.
From a funding perspective, it can be helpful to critique a research summary to evaluate strengths and weaknesses of the research. In this Discussion you will critique research summaries to identify strengths and limitations that could impact funding for such a project.
Review the document Research Summaries, which is located in the Learning Resources.
As you review the examples, look for characteristics that you believe represent limitations in the research summaries. These limitations may include:
Misalignment
Too general in nature
“Written to the money”
Not following instructions
Lack of purpose
Bad research questions
Bad budgeting
Poor community engagement
Post a response in which you:
Critique at least two of the research summaries in the document Research Summaries (attached), which islocated in the Learning Resources. Your critique should include an analysis of your perceived strengths and limitations of the summary.
Describe at least one suggestion for improving one of the reviewed research summaries.
Justify your critique with citations to peer-reviewed literature.
Please pick two research summaries.
Please use the following headers:
Analysis of Perceived Strenghts and Limitations for Two Research Summaries
Suggestion for Improving One of the Reviewed Research Summaries
Please justify critique with citations
References: You should support your work with evidence from scholarly resources that are current (e.g., less than five years old). However, there may be times when it is appropriate to cite seminal papers that helped shape the field of public health. Properly cite/reference using APA 7th edition.
