Nursing Research Preparation
Introduction
Research in the field of nursing is an essential tool by which a test of one’s own or another person’s theory is validated. Due to this, it involves advanced knowledge that requires a lot of work to be put into completion. It calls for the need of proper organization and proper track keeping of the job done. It means various steps must be considered in establishing relevant research.
Strategically, in organizing research work, the first step is to assemble and interact with the relevant printed sources. This entails the selection of books and articles related to the research question. The references are skimmed to ensure they are in range with the intended topic. Bibliographies and online sources can also be used in tracking down other sources. The next step is also to consider other methods of data collection. This is according to purported discipline conventions. Footnotes can be used to discover other sources and make the research academically shaped. The next important step is the selection of note keeping systems. This may include separate index cards or in Cornels. In this step, author information should put appropriately so that the rechecking of the data from the source can be made accessible. Paraphrasing, summary, and a quotation should properly be distinguished. The next step is to use the sources identified to generate ideas. It involves writing down what has been read, identifying the key terms, and making a list of the questions understand. With these, the main ideas are developed. The next step is to organize the thoughts to create the skeleton of the leading research argument. The next step is to develop a working research thesis for the paper. The writing of the research should be in support of the hypothesis since it is the guideline for the whole topic. The last step is to evaluate the argument and check if everything is inline and not in deviation of the research topic (Storch&Pauly,2017).
In conclusion, research preparation is done strategically and in an orderly manner to enhance flow relevance to the main topic.
