Application of Data Gathering Procedures, proper Literature Review and Annotated Bibliography

There so much critical procedure in gathering data, we should make sure that our data is valid and reliable because it is the overall basis not only in the medical field but also in many aspects. I already apply this during my duty in the community and hospital we gathered data for the proper rendering care to our patient because proper assessment meets your goal.

 

According to the Ontario Human Rights Commission in collecting data involved in six steps to success: 

Step 1: Identify issues and/or opportunities for 

             collecting data

Step 2: Select issue(s) and/or opportunity(ies) and 

              set goals 

Step 3: Plan an approach and methods

Step 4: Collect data

Step 5: Analyze and interpret data Six steps to 

           success.

At this stage, Don’t limit yourself, be prepared to do something, and perused some other sources. Let yourself play detective before you create any important data to make your plan effective. Observation and interview is the basic procedure to get your data, and others used high technology to gather data, even social media

So, for the proper Literature Review, It is like a survey or a study of a bookish source that provides short tips or reviews of the specific topic. So, it is like a summarize of the overall topic to make it short so that people will know or have the interest to read being believable and reasonable.

According to https://guides.lib.uoguelph.ca/ the McLaughlin Library the University of Guelph, writing Literature Review we need: 

1. Narrow your topic and select papers accordingly.

2.Search for literature. 

3. Read the selected articles thoroughly and evaluate them.

 4. Organize the selected papers by looking for patterns and by developing subtopics.

 5. Develop a thesis or purpose statement.

 6. Write the paper.

 7. Review your work. 

So these are the seven procedure how to write Review literature it takes a lot of time if we discussed it one-by-one but you if really like to know more about those seven steps you can visit McLaughlin Library the University of Guelph.

So why Review literature is important? Well, According to the University of Melbourne 2013, to determine what is known on the topic, how well this knowledge is established, and where future research might best be directed.“To present a coherent argument in response to a stimulus or question, and to persuade the reader that your position is credible (i.e. believable and reasonable). To demonstrate your ability to research the topic, develop your position, and then convince the reader by presenting a reasoned response supported by evidence from the research you have done”. It also avoids any plagiarism.

An Annotated Bibliography is like a record book in which you record the information or a list of citations of books, documents, articles to notify the readers the appropriate, reliable, and quality of the sources cited. So being a student especially I ‘am a graduating student we are required to make a research study, so it is an efficient way to have competent research and during the defense, it is easy to review the panel or scan to check the sources that we collected in our research topic and see if we had a lack of credibility.

What does an annotated bibliography look like? According to https://student.unsw.edu.au/ the UNSW of Sydney, an annotated bibliography starts with the bibliographic details of a source (the citation) followed by a brief annotation. As with a normal reference list or bibliography, an annotated bibliography is usually arranged alphabetically according to the author’s last name. An annotated bibliography summary should be about 100 - 200 words per citation—check with your lecturer/tutor as this may vary between faculties and assessments.

 Contents of an annotated bibliography An annotation may contain all or part of the following elements depending on the word limit and the content of the sources you are examining. 

• Provide the full bibliographic citation. 

• Indicate the background of the author(s).

 • Indicate the content or scope of the text. 

• Outline the main argument

. • Indicate the intended audience.

 • Identify the research methods if applicable.

 • Identify any conclusions made by the author/s. 

• Discuss the reliability of the text.

 • Highlight any special features of the text that were unique or helpful e.g. charts, graphs, etc. 

• Discuss the relevance or usefulness of the text for your research.

 • Point out in what way the text relates to themes or concepts in your course.

 • State the strengths and limitations of the text. 

• Present your view or reaction to the text.
