Document Summary
Chapter 1 - scholarly writing and publishing principles. Research is only complete when an article is published in a peer-reviewed, scientific journal - which primarily contains research literature and serve as a storage place for accumulated knowledge in a specific field. Students engage in critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and prepare them to make unique contributions when writing papers. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods articles are published in scientific journals. These articles report primary research, while theoretical articles describe advancements in various theories and methods. Journal articles that review or synthesize findings are called literature reviews. Quantitative research a set of approaches commonly used in the behavioural and social sciences and related fields in which the observed outcomes are numerically represented. Studies are primarily analyzed using methods and use various experimental designs. They typically include the following distinct sections: introduction a statement of the purpose of the investigation, review of background literature, and an explicit statement of the hypotheses being explored.
