  • Author conclusion
A

Abstract
An overview - Abbreviated synopsis of core article information that includes:

27
Q

Clear and general statement of purpose for the study Explanation or description of a research problem being studied Includes succinct literature review
* current understanding of the problem
* relevant and, if possible, current research findings
* provides context and rational
Answers the question “why should anyone care” Enables reader to predict what the study will look like

A

Introduction

28
Q
  • Detailed description of how the study was carried out to address the research question or hypothesis
  • A clear and complete description of the specific steps taken
  • One of the most important sections for assessing plausible explanations for study results
  • A good methodology allows for study reproducibility
  • Divided up into descriptive Sub Headings
A

Methods

29
Q

Participants
Study design
Equipment
* Include all measurement tools and equipment (Reliability and validity studies, manufacturers specs, use in other research)
Intervention / Procedures
Data collection
Statistical Analysis

A

Methods
- Sub Headings

30
Q

Design and analyses describes the classification and analysis of the data
* How data was analyzed
* P-value

A

Methods - Procedures

31
Q

The probability of observing such a large difference purely by chance.

A

p-Value of 0.05

32
Q

T/F Mathematical probabilities like p-values range from 0 (no chance) to 1 (all chance).

A

TRUE

33
Q

So 0.5 means a 50 per cent and 0.05 means a 5 per cent probability that the outcome was due to______.

A

Chance

34
Q

Statistically significant =

A

a p-value ≤ 0.05 does not necessarily mean the findings are important.

35
Q
  • A description of what the results mean in terms of the research question
  • Based on author’s interpretation and opinion of what the data mean
  • Informed and supported by the results
  • Findings of other studies that support/refute results
  • Limitations of the study
  • Furtherresearch
A

Discussion / Conclusion

36
Q

Should be in the format of the Journal
Usual styles are APA, AMA, Vancouver or Harvard
