This worksheet requires unpacking the key elements of a published scholarly journal article and demonstrating APA source citation skills, activities you will engage in frequently in the completion of a variety of assignments including essays, research papers and literature reviews in future courses.

It is important to use the GCU library vs. internet search because using the GCU library you have access to over 46,000 full-text journal titles covering every major academic subject, and also receiving quality academic content. Using general internet search, publishers may want you to pay for the access of full-text content. Using scholarly, peer-reviewed resources will attribute to the overall quality of my course work. Being that information is everywhere on the internet you want to evaluate the accuracy and the reliability of the resources. It would be my job to research and evalutate all internet searches in a proper

Part Two: Explain why academic and professional research must use credible sources and explain the reasons that credible sources are more likely to be found using the online library than using general

describe the location of the research database in a way that a reader could find it. This could be a URL or an APA citation;

To make the search more effective and efficient, the advanced search was used in all three databases. Utilising the advance search setting options over the basic search setting allows the search to be made more specific (Aveyard, 2014, Moule & Goodman, 2009).

WEBSITES: This method is another way to get data from. Websites are also very good because they can find you reliable information about any topic you want to gain knowledge from. However a disadvantage for websites is that they could contain false information. Another advantage is that there are wide ranges of

How do you arrange the entries on the Works Cited page? (Spacing, numbering, indentation) Alphabetically, do not number, double spaced, and must have a hanging indent.

I am Karen Franklin BSN, I have been a nurse for 4 years. I am applying for Clinical II, I have grown as a person and as a nurse. I have had the priviledge to work in several different areas of nursing and truly enjoy being a nurse. My first position was on a telemetry unit where I got to learn of how to care for and manage critical care patients. In addition to learning how care for my patient, I learned how to initiate care plans, comply with core measures and do bedside teaching with patients and families. I received ACLS certification, critical care certificates and basic arrhythmia certificates.

         As discussed last unit, the university library is free and reliable, so that is why I use it. I shortened my search results by using

By using the Boolean operations we can specify our search results on a search engine. In activity 1.1, we were used this operations to minimize our results. When I searched “The dietary habits of sea otters” without the operations I got 81,900 different websites but when I use the operations to empathize “dietary habits” my results were 5,750, websites, much less and more reliable as the quality of the sources also changed. When I searched the topic without the operations I got Wikipedia as my first source, which is not completely reliable, and other websites discussing the history of otters and where they live. This results were not related to my topic so I used quotations marks to specify that I only wanted results that had “dietary habits” consequently my first sources were scientifically written articles and even videos from professionals. The only thing in common between the two searches were that they both contained Wikipedia as a source. When I searched another topic, “Cyber warfare and the Stuxnet virus” something similar happened. When I looked it up without the operations I got 59,500 results and they were separating my searches like they were unrelated to one another. For this reason used quotations and site:.edu to look for academic resource that would link the two. My results were 317 websites, all of them from accredited Universities around the world discussing the Stuxnet virus and how it has changed Cyber warfare. I did not notice any similarities between the two but another important difference is that when I used operations I got PDF’s documents. As I stated, this operations can minimize greatly my results and increase the credibility of my sources.

published journal, you need to cite the source of the information. When you cite the

When you think of a researcher you think of a scientist doing an experiment. I feel like that is the same as a research paper just without the experiment. So, in a research paper it’s your own interpretation or evaluation or argument. Meaning, you use everything that you personally know and have researched about that topic. When I am assigned a research paper the first thing I do is look it up online to understand more about it. At that point, I try to figure out what is worth talking about in the paper or figure out what I can argue to get my point across. As for library databases, I never used them once because I use technology. I can give a detailed report on the assignment with the correct amount of research and citations.

In the days before computers and the internet, research for occupational and personal purposes was mostly done in a library. Libraries house thousands of books and articles filled with information about any topic imaginable. But even with aisles labelled by genre and organized with the Dewey Decimal System, it would take someone anywhere from several hours to several days to find the specific information they needed. While public libraries are still available for people to use today, many prefer the speed and efficiency of

My two-word search term is “childhood cancer” and my one-word search term is chemotherapy. My initial search was through Scopus. I searched both of the terms using the Boolean Operator “AND” to ensure that my search retrieved sources that had both of my search terms. For my two-word term, I added quotation marks around it because I wanted to search the two words together. The range of years for publications that appeared were from 2017 until the year 1958 with a total of 49 different years in between. A total of 6,790 articles were shown. After I limited my search to only nursing, articles, and articles in press, my total number came down to 113. After I limited my search to the years 2003-2017, only 89 articles remained. After performing a Google search on the author with the highest cited article using the specified format, I retrieved a total of 1,460 hits. In Google Scholar, I retrieved 437 hits. On PubMed, I initially searched term 1 with quotation marks around it along with my search term 2 using the Boolean Operator “AND” and was able to retrieve 6,778 articles. When I performed the same search again but without quotation marks, I retrieved a total of 10,749

A search for information can take a variety of routes. It might entail a visit to the university library or to some other organization that maintains information on a particular subject. Academic libraries are indeed a critical tool in information
