Step 2: Summary of Analysis Craft a summary (2-3 paragraph) below that includes the following: Describe your approach to identifying and analyzing peer-reviewed research Identify at least two strategies that you would use that you found to be effective in finding peer-reviewed research NURS-6003 Assignment: Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Identify at least one resource you intend to use in the future to find peer-reviewed research

 

 

In order to find peer-reviewed research, the strategy is to identify databases and websites that provide access to peer reviewed articles. A simple google search will provide thousands of results on a single search, which often includes articles, blogs and other sites that may provide unverified information. Therefore, the strategy to identify peer-reviewed research is to use databases such as the school library, Google scholar, or EBSCHost, among other sites, which provide access to a database of peer-reviewed articles and journals.

One of the strategies I have found useful in finding peer-reviewed research, even when using these sites, and even using a simple google search, it is possible to increase chances of accessing a peer-reviewed article through the use of key words and Boolean terms to refine the search and also to create a filter. For instance, on google scholar, it is possible to create a filter such that only peer-reviewed articles are included in the results. One resource I intent to use to find peer-reviewed research is CINAHL, which is a database that provides access to journal articles of nursing and other fields related to health care. The journals are in English and they have been indexed, making accessibility much easier. In addition, it is a reliable resource since the journals are peer-reviewed, thus ensuring the reliability of the articles. However, a subscription is required, and paying this subscription will increase my access to peer-reviewed articles. NURS-6003 Assignment: Academic Success and Professional Development Plan
