Introduction - Capstone project (empirical) or review type (review)

Research Requirement:

Please help with assignment  NOTEFROMINSTRUCTOR.docx NOTE FROM INSTRUCTOR You want to make sure there are enough (E.g., at least 30??) articles empirically examining this relationship (online mental health sessions/support and benefits to mental health) before selecting it. When doing your review, be sure to pay attention to the way you need to search for articles. You must follow an iterative approach, once you decide on your general topic. Eventually you will create a research question that the review article outcomes (aka "data") can answer. webinformationwithvideo.docx Please watch and read 1.

Neededinformationonreviewweek1.docx The purpose or aim of the literature review. THIS VIDEO  does an excellent job explaining literature reviews and how to perform one. Start here! See below for a brief list of possible purposes of a literature review.  A literature review, as part of a thesis or for any other publication, should demonstrate your knowledge of the research has been conducted in the past and should place your research in the context of this work. A thesis is an original and significant piece of work that adds to the body of knowledge in a particular field. A literature review can have a number of purposes within a thesis. These include: · demonstrating and clarify your understanding of your field of research; · identifying patterns and trends in the literature; · identifying gaps in the literature and seek new lines of inquiry; · identifying similarities and differences in previous research and place you work in perspective; · justifying your own research; · increasing your breadth of knowledge of your subject area; · identifying seminal and influential published works in your field; · identifying relevant journals, publishers and conferences to search; · providing the intellectual context for your own work, enabling you to position your project relative to other work; · identifying experts working in your field (a researcher network is a valuable resource); · carrying on from where others have already reached THIS VIDEO · Literature Reviews: An Overview for Graduate Students https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2d7y_r65HU&t=138s protocoltoguideyourreview-updated1.doc Protocol template Protocol Template: Literature Review 1. Background I. Important characteristics What are the important population and/or characteristics (diagnostic criteria, minors -age/stage of development, adults on the Autism spectrum, etc.)? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ II. Relevance Does the review topic have important implications (individual and/or public), e. g. can be applied for education, health, business, etc.? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ III. Rationale Does the evidence (including existing systematic reviews) fail to answer the review question, and why? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV. Justification Is the need for the review justified in the light of the potential health or other implications and current limitations of the evidence base? What are the inclusion / exclusion criteria? ______________________________________________________________________________ Will you impose any additional limits, e.g. language, publication type, study design? ______________________________________________________________________________ How will study selection be performed (will you search and get a maximum number or articles and then pare them down, or will you search for specifics and add on? For the purposes of this project, you should use the former unless you have a god reason -talk to your instructor!)? ______________________________________________________________________________ PAGE 1
