Research Process: Library/Source Assignment Template
For each of the blanks in the template, give sufficient details from the article being reviewed to provide yourself (and your reader) with a good overview of the research presented in the article. Think of this as an annotated bibliography, or note cards you might use when preparing to write a research paper. A total of 10 article reviews are required for this assignment, however you are free to include additional ones for your benefit and to help when you write the background to your study. Only the first 10 will be graded. Be sure to include each of the 10 articles you review as PDF attachments in addition to this assignment template (a total of 11 attachments for this assignment). Only Word or PDF attachments will be accepted (no picture files).

Proposed title for your project (this should reflect a research focus):
[To be completed at the end of this assignment]- Based on your literature review, what is your research question(s) and/or hypothesis(es) to this point (you will likely revise this as you go through the process)? Be sure to focus your research on the “gap” you see so far in the literature, or the “next steps” needed in the research of your topic. Be sure this is something you can research for this course. You may also include other information you might find helpful here (optional) as you continue your project.
Complete one article summary as follows for each article reviewed (minimum of 10). Information should be summarized succinctly, with typically no more than 2 to 3 sentences for each question. The goal is not to duplicate the article, but to summarize it. Every blank must be answered except the optional comments box. You should summarize in your own words. You should NOT copy and paste information from the article or it will be considered plagiarism.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Uni-check plagiarism tool.
