Reproductive Health Scholarly Discussion Assignment
This is a guide to researching and references that will help you search for peer-reviewed scholarly articles and successfully cite them.
While this guide can work for any type of research project you need to do, We'll be focusing on these aspects of the Assignment:
1. "References must be in APA format and are not included in the total word count. See assignment rubric for grading criteria"
2 "In your initial post, reference a minimum of two peer reviewed articles to support/inform the post. Must be within the last 10 years and location must be relevant to the topic. (For example, a study conducted in a country outside the US could have different implications than what is accessible in the UW health care system)."
Assignment Outcome:
"Analyze best current evidence with clinical reasoning"

While you're researching, remember: all good research, and all research really worth doing, is lead out of our authentic curiosity and an ability to embrace the Exploration of encountering things we maybe didn't expect to find. And in an information economy where the most important knowledge is accessible to so few of us, it's really valid to be frustrated at how much academic literature is still behind paywalls and can feel inaccessible and out of reach.
This is where your Shoreline CC Librarians come in! It's our job to help you throughout this whole process, whether you don't know where to start or if you're trying to narrow down to that last piece of the research puzzle.
You can stop by our Reference Help Desk in the Library anytime between 10am-close for drop-in help with a Librarian, or you can email us at Library@Shoreline.edu. You can make a one-on-one librarian appointment to meet over Zoom or reach out to our 24/7 Chat service where there will always be a Librarian at the other end to help.
In order to complete the research aspects of this assignment, we're going to break it into three parts:
