A very essential part of nursing is being able to understand the literature review and what it offers for evidence based practice. In regards to research there are primary sources as well as secondary sources. Both primary and secondary resources are vital to a good literature review. There are different types of primary and secondary sources that a nurse might use when preparing for a research project. Primary and Secondary Resources A primary source is “original information presented by the person or people responsible for creating it” (Schmidt &Brown, 2012). Primary sources always offer full references to others’ work cited information contained in the paper. Examples of primary sources for the purpose of research include journal articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and journal articles. “Secondary sources are the resulting commentaries, summaries, reviews, or interpretations of primary sources” (Schmidt &Brown, 2012). Secondary sources are written following the primary sources report. Secondary sources are more often than not written by someone that is not part of the original work and/or event. Secondary sources can offer original insights or historical perspectives that were not offered in the primary source. Examples of secondary sources include general magazines, systematic reviews, biographies, and textbooks. Citing work from another writer does not happen with a secondary source.

At least that is the view I have taken on what a historian does, I know there is so much more than that but that is a short version of…

The classic way of studying history in high school and many college courses is by memorizing facts, regurgitating them, and throwing in a little analysis that was also memorized. However, history is more than just dates and facts. History is the why behind the facts and events. History is how people felt about the events, and whether they were expected or unexpected, and what the responses to those events were. And studying history is more than just textbooks. Classically, history relied on…

Presentism is the the ideal of judging past events based on modern-day morals and values. Author Douglas L. Wilson discusses presentism as a concept that is best used on historical figures due to the drastic changes in social structures and societal expectations.

There is a level of complexity to finding appropriate and reliable sources that will be accepted by any professor. Primary sources, although are sometimes harder to find, are a great place to get information because of the simple fact that they are guaranteed to be reliable and…

Academic writings are fundamental to expanding and solidifying knowledge and understanding. Axiomatic to the objective nature of the writing is the existence of persuasive source material acting to support the argument put forth. For this purpose, critical evaluation of sources should be meticulously undertaken so as to ensure a strong and competent argument has been assembled. The sources themselves can take on many different forms depending on the discipline being examined and written in,…
