RES820CWk4SynthesisAsgnment.docxIn Topic 3, you read three articles about the skills of the researcher. In this assignment, you will identify three themes common to the articles and write a synthesis paper about research skills using evidence from the articles to support your themes. Use the skills you developed in RES-815 while completing the Emerging Writer Worksheet in which you identified themes, supported them with evidence from the articles, built a thesis claim, and outlined your paper.
General Requirements: Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
· Review the articles by Lindsay (2015); Lee, Chang, and Bryan (2020); and Klocko, Marshal, and Davidson (2015) located in the topic Resources.
· Doctoral learners are required to use APA 7th style for their writing assignments.
· Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for specific guidelines related to doctoral-level writing. The manual contains essential information on manuscript structure and content, clear and concise writing, and academic grammar and usage.
Directions:

1. An introduction that introduces and provides context for the topic. This includes presenting a clear thesis statement.
2. Identification of and support for three themes with evidence from each article. Synthesize your discussion of the topic to support your thesis.
3. A conclusion that demonstrates support of your thesis statement, briefly summarizes the main points from your three themes, and makes recommendations for future research on the topic.
