grounded in previous

research/theoretically

relevant literature

research is clearly

identified (how it adds

to previous research)

are clearly articulated

 Limited discussion of

research focus/purpose

of research

 Research focus is less

well-grounded in

research/theoretically

relevant literature

 Significance of the

research is not as

clearly identified (how it

adds to previous

research)

 Hypotheses/propositions

are described but not as

well articulated

 Minimal discussion of

research focus/purpose

of research

 Research focus is not

well-grounded in

research/theoretically

relevant literature

 Significance of the

research is not clearly

identified (how it adds

to previous research)

 Hypotheses/propositions

are not well articulated

 Little or no discussion of

research focus/purpose

of research

grounded in previous

research/theoretically

relevant literature

Research

Methods

 Provides accurate,

thorough description of

how the data was

collected, what/how

many data sources were

analyzed, plan of

analysis or

measurement

instrument, research

context

 Reflection on social

situatedness/reflexivity

and how it may

influence data collection

and interpretation is

thorough and insightful

 Description of how the

data was collected,

what/how many data

sources were analyzed,

plan of analysis or

measurement

instrument, research

context is adequate but

limited.

 Reflection on social

situatedness/reflexivity

and how it may

influence data collection

and interpretation is

adequate but limited

 Description of how the

data was collected,

what/how many data

sources were analyzed,

plan of analysis or

measurement

instrument, research

context is somewhat

confusing/not clearly

articulated.

 Reflection on social

situatedness/reflexivity

and how it may

influence data collection

and interpretation is

limited and lacks insight

 Description of how the

data was collected,

what/how many data

sources were analyzed,

plan of analysis or

measurement

instrument, research

context is very

confusing/not

articulated sufficiently.

 Reflection on social

situatedness/reflexivity

and how it may

influence data collection

and interpretation is

severely limited, lacks

insight, or is absent

altogether

Results

 Results are clearly

explained in a

comprehensive level of

detail and are well-

organized

 Tables/figures clearly

and concisely convey

the data.

 Statistical analyses (if

used) are appropriate

tests and are accurately

interpreted.

 Results are explained

but not as clearly, level

of detail is not as

sufficient, and there

are some

organizational issues

 Tables/figures are not

as clear/concise in

conveying the data.

 Statistical analyses (if

used) are appropriate

tests but are not

accurately interpreted.

 Results are not very

clearly explained, level

of detail is insufficient,

and there are more

organizational issues

 Tables/figures are not

clear/concise in

conveying the data.

 Statistical analyses (if

used) are inappropriate

tests and/or are not

accurately interpreted.

 Results are not clearly

explained, level of detail

is severely insufficient,

and there are serious

organizational issues

 Tables/figures are not

clear/concise in

conveying the data.

 Statistical analyses (if

used) are inappropriate

tests and/or are not

accurately interpreted.

Conclusions

 Interpretations/analysis

of results are thoughtful

and insightful, are

clearly informed by the

study’s results, and

thoroughly address how

they supported, refuted,

and/or informed the

hypotheses/propositions

 Insightful discussion of

how the study relates to

and/or enhances the

present scholarship in

this area

 Suggestions for further

research in this area are

insightful and thoughtful

of results are sufficient

but somewhat lacking

in thoughtfulness and

insight, are not as

clearly informed by the

study’s results, and do
