Question # 2 Discussion: Assessing Studies 350 words

Post Discussion: Assessing Studies

Researchers need to weed through the results of their literature review to find the articles that are the best fit for their study. In a systematic review, the search terms used are the inclusion criteria, and other criteria are used for exclusion.

Review the criteria for exclusion in this week's readings and the systematic review you reviewed for last week's discussion, and then post narrative responses to the following questions:

What exclusion criteria do you plan to use in your systematic review? Justify your decisions.

What criteria, if any, were used to exclude articles in your chosen published systematic review?

Describe how your exclusion criteria differ from the published exclusion criteria discussed in your chosen published systematic review?

Discuss why the differences exist between your proposed exclusion criteria and that used in your chosen published systematic review. Justify your exclusion criteria based on your research problem and research question(s).

Respond to 3 students' posts. Provide feedback on their choice of exclusion criteria. Are there any you think are too restrictive? Are there any you would add?
