Evidence that supports a conclusion is part of the research process. Literature reviews often accompany research papers in the form of a summary and synthesis of the published information about the research topic. Although this week’s assignment is not a literature review, it is designed to familiarize you with the practice of finding appropriate sources and information on a topic.

Find three original research articles that apply to your research topic. The articles must be

• peer reviewed,
• recent (published within 5 years), and
• statistically significant.

Write a 260-word summary of each article in which you identify

• participants
• independent variable(s),
• dependent variable(s),
• methods, and
• results.

Determine whether these articles are suitable for inclusion in a literature review for your research topic.

• If they are not, explain why.
• If they are, explain how the information can be used to inform practice.

Compile all summaries in one document.

Include a PDF of and APA citation for each article.
