Discuss at least one (1) finding from the authors’ results and relate it to the dependent variable of the study.

A research critique demonstrates your ability to critically evaluate an investigative study. For this assignment, choose an original or primary research study related to nursing or medicine. The purpose of this assignment is to review a research study in-depth and to decide whether or not it is a valid research study that can be used in practice. It is your written evaluation of the study, not just a summary of the study.

The body of your paper should follow APA Style guidelines, and it should 4–6 pages double-spaced plus a cover page and reference list. The full article must be attached to the critique for credit.

Note: Because submission of the article is part of the assignment requirements and is necessary for grading, any assignment submitted without the accompanying article will be considered incomplete. An incomplete assignment will be initially assigned a zero. The student has the opportunity to submit the article to complete the assignment. However, if it is submitted after the due date and time, the late penalty will apply. After five days, submissions will not be accepted, as per University policy, and the grade will remain a zero.

  • Articles used for one assignment cannot be used for the other assignments. (Students should find new research articles for each assignment.)
  • The selected articles should be original research studies. Review articles, concept analysis, meta-analysis, meta-synthesis, integrative review, and systemic review should not be used.

Discuss the topic, the problem the model has been used in the research, and any present findings.

During this session, we looked at several topics on Strategic IT planning and strategy

We examined researchers, models, and issues in the area, and as you get closer to starting your own dissertation, you will need to choose a topic in your first dissertation class , so it is essential to start preparing.

This week, let us take a look at some topics to consider, and by the end of the week, we could have several ideas for dissertation topics.

Since you have already examined several research articles, another way would be to examine previous dissertations in these areas.
Go to the Dissertation Database, and locate an interesting topic on IT strategy, or examine a model presented this term.

Here are some pointers that will help critically evaluate some viable topics.

  • Is the topic attainable for a first-time dissertation student?
  • Is the problem rooted in the literature?
  • Is the research empirical, i.e., is there a survey, is there an interview guide, has the data been analyzed via some statistical tool?
  • Is there a theoretical model or framework discussed?

Discuss the topic, the problem the model has been used in the research, and any present findings.

Do not read the entire dissertation, as the abstract and chapter one introduction should give a clear understanding of the research.
