Evaluating Sources to Answer a Research Question



*You will want your research paper to be respected and credible. Therefore,
after you identify sources
<https://www.esc.edu/online-writing-center/resources/research/research-paper-steps/finding-sources/>
relevant
to your research, you need to determine whether they can help answer your
research question
<https://www.esc.edu/online-writing-center/resources/research/research-paper-steps/developing-questions/>.*

*There are four questions to ask when evaluating sources:*

   1. *How well does the source answer the research question?*
   2. *Is the information provided by an expert?*
   3. *Is the source valid?*
   4. *Is there a variety of sources?*

*How to Write the Methods Section of a Research Paper. - NCBI

<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15447808>*

*The methods section of a research paper provides *

*the information by which a study's validity is judged. *

*Therefore, it requires a clear and precise description *

*of how an experiment was done, and the rationale for *

*why specific experimental procedures were chosen. *

*The methods section should describe what was done *

*to answer the research question, describe how it was *

*done, justify the experimental design, and explain how *

*the results were analyzed. Scientific writing is direct *

*and orderly. Therefore, the methods section structure *

*should: describe the materials used in the study, explain *

*how the materials were prepared for the study, describe *

*the research protocol, explain how measurements were *

*made and what calculations were performed, and state *

*which statistical tests were done to analyze the data. *

*Once all elements of the methods section are written, *

*subsequent drafts should focus on how to present those *

*elements as clearly and logically as possibly. *

*The description of preparations, measurements, and the *

*protocol should be organized chronologically. For clarity, *

*when a large amount of detail must be presented, information *

*should be presented in sub-sections according to topic. *

*Material in each section should be organized by topic from *

*most to least important.*

*Abstract Transparency in research methods and results is now widely seen
as an imperative if the healthcare and research enterprise is to be truly
successful. A patient-centred focus in the conduct of clinical care
includes its safety, effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and timeliness.
Innovative ways are being developed to understand, disseminate, and rapidly
apply the best evidence to care delivery. In this article, we demonstrate
the use of simple and appropriate statistics in research reports that
should help healthcare providers apply knowledge to practice by making it
easier for them to understand clinical medicine.*

*Abstract The quality of a research paper depends primarily on the quality
of the research study it reports. However, there is also much that authors
can do to maximise the clarity and usefulness of their papers. Journals'
instructions for authors often focus on the format, style, and length of
articles but do not always emphasise the need to clearly explain the work's
science and ethics: so this review reminds researchers that transparency is
important too. The research question should be stated clearly, along with
an explanation of where it came from and why it is important. The study
methods must be reported fully and, where appropriate, in line with an
evidence based reporting guideline such as the CONSORT statement for
randomised controlled trials. If the study was a trial the paper should
state where and when the study was registered and state its registration
identifier. Finally, any relevant conflicts of interest should be declared.*

*Proper citation is an important component of any APA Style paper. However,
many readers believe certain sources aren’t allowed in APA Style, and they
write to us looking for a definitive list of what is off limits. Two of the
most common questions are about whether it’s okay to cite websites and
whether sources have to have been published within a certain time frame to
be cited, such as the last 5 or 10 years.**”*

Overview
<http://www.ahrq.gov/research/findings/evidence-based-reports/overview/index.html>










*Under the Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPC) Program of the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality, 5-year contracts are awarded to
institutions in the United States and Canada to serve as EPCs. The EPCs
review all relevant scientific literature on a wide spectrum of clinical
and health services topics to produce various types of evidence reports.
These reports may be used for informing and developing coverage decisions,
quality measures, educational materials and tools, clinical practice
guidelines, and research agendas. The EPCs also conduct research on
methodology of evidence synthesis.*
Participating EPCs
<http://www.ahrq.gov/research/findings/evidence-based-reports/centers/index.html>




*The following list provides contact information and Web sites where
available for the 13 Evidence-based Practice Centers currently funded by
the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.*
EPC Topic Nomination and Selection
<http://www.ahrq.gov/research/findings/evidence-based-reports/topic-nomination/index.html>











*The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) serves as the
science partner with private-sector and public organizations in their
efforts to improve the quality, effectiveness, and appropriateness of
health care delivery in the United States, and to expedite the translation
of evidence-based research findings into improved health care services. In
this context, AHRQ awards task order contracts to its Evidence-based
Practice Centers (EPCs) to undertake scientific analysis and evidence
syntheses on topics of high priority to its stakeholders, which includes
public and private health care payers, providers, and the health care
community in general.*
Resources for Researchers
<http://www.ahrq.gov/research/findings/evidence-based-reports/technical/index.html>






*EPCs produce technical reports on systematic review methodological topics
and other types of evidence synthesis-related reports such as reports
summarizing future research needs for a given topic. In addition, EPCs, the
Scientific Resource Center, and other AHRQ-funded entities have produced
tools and software to aid researchers.*

“General Principles for References

   - *Use the most original source possible. *
   - *Use the most up-to-date and reliable source available. *
   - *Your paper is only as good as its weakest source.**”*

*.*



*snip*



*.*


The Following ARE Acceptable References

   - *Scholarly Periodicals *
   - *Scholarly Books *
   - *Reputable Translations of Foreign Works *
   - *Student Theses *
   - *Research Forums or Hotlines on the Internet *
   - *Internet Periodicals by Reputable Organizations *

*Most of the information in academia does not flow through books! The real
information flow is through periodicals. Even here, acceptability varies.
Scientific American is acceptable for most college research papers, but not
for a graduate thesis.*

*Scholarly books serve several purposes:*

   - *They collect related articles on a subject from scattered sources. *
   - *They contain specially-written articles contributed by various
   authorities to summarize the state of research on a subject. *
   - *They summarize the results of research over a long period of time
   that would be too lengthy to publish as a periodical article. They can also
   include details that would be too obscure to merit inclusion in a journal
   article.*
