Editing and Revising the Research Paper

Editing and Revising the Research Essay

The SECOND rough draft of your research paper is due in this module by the deadline. Students will receive feedback on their first rough drafts this week. This week’s feedback from your instructor will be in an “overarching” manner. This means that the feedback you receive this week will be more of an overview of things that you have done well or things that you need to work on IN GENERAL. For example, your instructor might point out that your thesis statement doesn’t cover your entire essay. Another general feedback comment might be that you may have summarized the novel’s events too much, or you have too much directly quoted material in your essay. Maybe the minimum word count has not been met, or the Works Cited page is incorrect. Use this feedback to fix some potentially major issues before your second and final rough draft is reviewed.

  • APA style and format -Follow ALL guidelines for APA standard format. Reference the previous modules, as needed, for the correct APA style and formatting rules.
  • Word count: 2,500-3,000 words – This includes the entire essay and Works Cited page. This will result in about 10 typed pages. It does NOT include the outline. Do not submit an outline in this document.
  • Must write in third person. (no direct references to yourself – I, you, we, us, etc.)
  • General Setup
    • 1″ margins on all sides
    • Font should be 12-point Times New Roman (MLA standard)
    • Double-spaced
    • No extra spacing should be included between paragraphs, or before or after the essay title.
  • Be sure to include an introductory paragraph that includes the thesis statement as the last sentence. The thesis statement should be detailed enough so that the reader will know exactly what to expect from your essay. This statement should not be vague. It should also be only one sentence.
  • Include a proper APA title page.
  • Include proper page numbers.
  • References page must include all sources used in the essay (primary and secondary sources).
  • 8 sources minimum – Try to use an even number of sources on both sides of the argument (or as close as possible). All sourced used must be credible sources from scholarly journals found in academic databases (through your college library), books, or APPROVED websites granted by your instructor. If you are unsure about a website that you would like to use, email your instructor a link to that source ASAP and request approval. It is understandable that some small changes may be made as research has been conducted. Most of the good websites will be .edu or .org websites instead of .com ones. (ex. pbs.org, etc.)
  • As you know, Turnitin checks every paper for any similarities with websites and any paper that has been submitted to Turnitin. DO NOT COPY from any source or another paper. Anything directly quoted from any other source (other than what comes directly out of your head) must be included in quotation marks and must have an in-text citation to properly label its source. If a student plagiarizes, the sources will be identified by Turnitin. The penalty for committing plagiarism on the first offense is receiving a zero for the assignment and a document will be written up and submitted to the dean of eLearning. This college policy will be followed. If you are still unsure what constitutes plagiarism, email your instructor for more clarification ASAP.
  • Remember that you should not include more than 25% directly quoted information in your essays. This means that at least 75% of your essays should be in your own words. Therefore, you should not use more than 1-2 short block quotes in this major research essay. Try your best to paraphrase or summarize information in your essay, and be sure to cite your sources for these as well. Even though the information is in your own words, those ideas came from somewhere outside of your own head! Give credit where it due. 🙂
  • The submission should be one document including essay and References page.

Total Points Possible:  325

Requirements:

Description of the Assignment: 

Content

  1. Introduction to the paper includes a few general statements on the idea of nursing theory being applied to solve problems/issues in nursing practice, regardless of the specialty area of practice. For example, why would one pick a nursing theory to solve a practice problem? Would a grand, middle-range, or practice theory be best? Does the writer have any experience in using nursing theory this way? In addition, a brief one-paragraph summary of a specific nursing theory and information on the sections of the paper are provided. The selected nursing theory can be a grand theory, a middle-range theory, or a practice theory.

  2. Description of the problem/issue for which strategies will be developed. The problem to be resolved must be in nursing leadership, nursing education, nursing informatics, or health policy. Scholarly evidence (in the form of a literature review) supporting the issue is included. The problem/issue could be local to one’s specific practice setting. For example, the setting might be a nursing unit, a nursing-education program, an informatics department, or a health-policy unit of a consulting firm. The problem/issue needs to be something that a nursing theory can impact, whether it solves the actual problem/issue or enables people affected by the problem/issue to deal with it. It is best if the problem/issue is from real life – something the writer of the paper has dealt with or is currently engaged in.

    Some examples (these are fictitious examples)

    1. A nursing unit has experienced rapid turnover of professional staff, including several nurse managers. A new nurse manager from outside of the nursing unit is appointed.

    2. Informatics nurse specialists face a lot of resistance from all healthcare professionals to implementation of a computer-based order entry program. The implementation date will not be changed.

    3. A nurse educator is assigned to take over a large class of undergraduate nursing students, with a mix of young adults and adults returning for a second degree. The subject is difficult, students have not been doing well, and frustration and tempers are impeding group work.

    4. A health-policy nurse specialist works for a consulting firm that lobbies on behalf of many healthcare professions. Within the specialist’s work unit, there is much debate over the pros and cons of various policies being proposed for attention in the coming year.

  3. Applying concepts and principles from the selected theory, one strategy for resolving the identified issue is described in depth. Details on how the theory would be applied are included (consider: who, what, when, where, and how). Rationales for the strategy as well as evidence from scholarly literature are included. One ethical and/or legal aspect of the strategy is discussed. Expected outcome(s) from implementing the strategy are proposed.

  4. Concluding statements include new knowledge about applying nursing theory gained by writing the paper
