N320 Instructions and Rubric for Literature Review Table
For this assignment you will be asked to apply course concepts and learning to develop three Literature Review Tables. The tables will address specific types of research that you will be asked to apply to your chosen PICO. The literature review tables will be assigned and completed over the course and will apply to a quantitative and qualitative research article, Please use the Literature Review Template provided within the course. You will use a new template for each research article.
1. The completed Literature Review Tables will be listed and referred in the Appendix and should be placed after the Reference section in your Research Review Part 1 and for the Final Research Review paper.
2. By the end of the Research Review Paper, you will have a minimum of 7 articles (including 1 from a discipline outside of nursing).
The literature review tables will provide you with 2 of the 7 articles.
Once completed for the quantitative and qualitative articles you do not need to utilize any further literature review tables for your final paper.
You should not copy information from the research you obtain, all information from the research should be paraphrased in your own words. All matches should be less than 10% for the literature review tables.
