Formulate a research question. Read through the articles carefully. Eliminate those not appropriate. It is suggested that you create a summary table. There is an example in the course text to help you organize your thoughts. Synthesize six or more full text research articles, beyond your textbooks, that are relevant to your research. Summarize what the studies reveal about your selected topic. Are there consistencies? Are there inconsistencies or “gaps”? Be sure to keep the table of information you developed and the six or more articles as you build on the course assignments. The table itself will not be part of the content in your paper, it may be included as an appendix.
