TUTORIAL - ASSIGNMENT 3

no  systematic reviews are allowed (nor literature reviews, or meta-analyses) because these are all studies based on "secondary data" which you have all excluded from your searches.

And a few final reminders about A3.

What to include in the data extraction table? Please be advised that there can be a lot of variations in the data extraction table – this does not mean a lack of consistency, but rather different approaches in data extraction, based on the context/nature of the studies. However, there are some key sections that need to be provided regardless of the designs (the first 4 key points).

These are:

1. Author, year, country

2. Study Aim/s – different studies may conceptualise their study aims differently, for example, aims/objectives/research question/hypothesis and/or outcome measures, or sometimes simply discussing the relationships between variables (X impacting Y or correlation between X & Y).

3. Study design (including population/sample, data collection, and analysis) – please be advised that you can separate these via columns, or integrate all of these together.

4. Results/key findings – I suggest providing bullet points to be punchy and informative, rather than too many details.  

5. Strengths and limitations (optional) – No study is perfect, and there are limitations, so understanding the limitations assists in improving them in future studies. Statements around strengths and weaknesses can be generally found in the discussion section. Sometimes papers directly use these statements (e.g., in this paper, we have highlighted X & Y; the strengths of this paper are X & Y...) - Sometimes there can be only indications!

Rephrasing & citation of the data extraction table - No need to rephrase the table, however, if you aim to  publish it in the future, it needs to be rephrased, later on. Also, no need to reference/cite every column of the table, if you only mention the name/s of authors in the first column, that is sufficient, as it indicates that the rest of the info in that row is related to the same author. 

Data extraction table for quantitative and qualitative studies – The quantitative versus qualitative data can be extracted in either one table or two tables separately.

Rephrasing - NO need to rephrase any sections of assignments 1 and 2, when incorporating in assignment 3, as at the end, these 3 tasks will be one piece of work, as a review paper. However, make sure to rephrase the rest (e.g., finding, discussion, conclusion).

Different papers from the same authors – Studies from the same authors can be included. Researchers can have multiple publications out of the same research project, as it may not be possible to provide all the findings in one paper.

Statistics - Numbers related to statistics and decimals need to be written in numbers... Please see this link for further information on the "numbers & statistics guide"  https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/numbers-statistics-guide.pdf

Please see below some of our recent review papers (mainly scoping reviews), providing further full examples of data extraction tables – you can have access to these studies via the library. As you can see there are variations across different papers.  Please be advised that you would NOT lose any scores if you have flexibility in your data extraction table, as far as you provide the four key sections highlighted above.
