Growth mindset is an interesting area of study that can determine life outlook and general success (Rae-Dupree, 2008). Efforts towards understanding the growth mindset theory require a study of scholarly articles, with solid research and data. Unlike newspaper articles, scholarly articles provide research approaches that can relate with research outcomes; hence, providing a clear framework for policy design. This paper examines how a scholarly article is more fruitful in building applicable…

Throughout the semester my research process changed in ways that benefitted my paper as well as helped me organize my thoughts in an orderly manner. My research skills have changed because previously when I had to find information my first thought would be to go on Google and search my topic. I now realize that if I want to find scholarly information that is peer edited the best places to check are online databases. Also, by using online databases I was able to approach academic research in a…

A bibliography, also known as "references" or "works cited," is the list of sources used to derive information or data about the topic in the research paper. The sources can be journals, books, websites or periodicals. Bibliographic information contains following information: Author Title Publisher However, information contained in Bibliography may differ depending on the writing style used. Annotation…

The Publication Process: The New England Journal of Medicine The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) is the world’s leading medical journal (NEJM, n.d.). The journal receives approximately 5000 submissions a year and the majority of them are from authors not based in the United States. Upon receipt of the manuscript, at least five experts edit and review it prior to it being published. The review process is stringent and NEJM accepts only five percent of articles submitted for publication…

The commencement of this venture began by reading Camille Saint-Saëns by Brian Rees , a secondary source material. Rees does an admirable effort in creating a seamless biography that places different periods of the Saint-Saëns lineage in perspective. Moreover he dedicates a few pages regarding Saint-Saëns Franco-Prussian war experience in his chapter: “Devastation, Seed Corn and Harvest.” The chapter briefly recounts the political climate of France months prior to the war and indicates various…

My research assignment became problematic due to my weakness of correctly citing my work. I think the time that I spent in the WRGT 101 class was more than helpful in terms of the knowledge that I absorbed in regards to searching and gathering material for a topic. The topic that I selected for my paper was how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Initially, at the start of the paper, I believe myself to be highly knowledgeable on the subject but I walked away from all my research with a plethora…

1. I tried to find the article using the school library online database. I first used a general database called Academic OneFile. I tried typing in the journal title, author and publication date. The article still did not come up after trying this a few times. I then decided to try using a psychology database since this is a psychology course. The first database I used was Science Direct. I tried typing in the journal title, author and publication date. No results were found when I used this…

The hierarchy of evidence utilized to evaluate the strength of evidence for each article was the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine – Levels of Evidence table obtained from the Center for Evidenced Based Medicine (2009). The search engines and databases searched in the literature review were chosen to optimize the literature search for high quality evidence. CINAHL (Current Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature) is a bibliographic search database, which contains references to…
