Order Description
instructions
The purpose of creating a matrix of a research article is to help you organize your thoughts and to get you started with the process of critique. Just because an
article is published does not mean it is appropriate for your consideration of your particular project. You need to be ale to evaluate the published work based on the
quality of the research design and on the merit for your question. The matrix is much like a comprehensive note card that should contain the basic information of the
research. You are creating a shortcut version of the key elements of the article for your future use in synthesizing the literature.
Locate a minimum of five primary research articles in response to your PICO(T) question. Keep a record of your search history for use later. Using the same Matrix
