Step 5: Choose Search to see how many articles in the ProQuest database have those words.

Step 6: Post a screenshot of your search results (topic and the number of articles containing your search terms) to the top of a Word document [see Step 5 above]. Below the screenshot, answer the following questions:

On your search:

A. What terms did you use?

B. What other things did you mark on the search page before conducting your search?

C.Why did you choose the key words that you did?

D. How many articles were found with these search terms [from screenshot]?

 

 

Part 2:

Step 1: For our second more narrow search, go back and search using THE ENTIRE TITLE of the article you used the key words from in your first search.  Paste the ENTIRE title into the search bar and find the full article [Do NOT checkmark anything to narrow your search this time!].

Step 2: Find a frequency table and/or graph within the article and post a screen shot in your Word document.

Example:

       Frequency Distribution      OR            Graph

Step 3: Answer the following questions about your table and/or graph:

A. What type of study is used in the article (quantitative or qualitative)?

B. What type of graph or table did you choose for your lab? What characteristics make it this type?

C. Describe the data displayed in your frequency distribution or graph (consider class size, class width,             total frequency, list of frequencies, class consistency, etc)

D. Draw a conclusion about the data from the graph or frequency distribution you chose.

E. How else might this data have been displayed? Discuss pros and cons of 2 other presentation                     options, such as tables or different graphical displays.

F. Give the full APA reference of the article you are using for this lab.

Step 5: Be sure your name is on the Word document, save it, and then submit it under “Assignments” and “Week 3: Lab”.

 

 

Solution

Within the very first investigation, I used the terms “diabetic patients” and also inspected 3 additional sections – “full text,” “peer reviewed,” and posted in the “last twelve months.” I chose the post since it’s among the additional 6 articles which I must choose based on the directions provided because of this job. The very first survey created 2,613 articles classified by relevance.
