Assignment: Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 4: Research Analysis
Architect Daniel Libeskind is credited with saying “To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history, but to articulate it.” The suggestion is that his work does not copy the efforts of others but relies on it.
Understanding the work of others is critically important to new work. Contributions to the nursing body of knowledge can happen when you are able to analyze and articulate the efforts of previous research. Research analysis skills are therefore critical tools for your toolbox.
In this Assignment, you will locate relevant existing research. You also will analyze this research using a tool helpful for analysis.
To Prepare:
· Reflect on the strategies presented in the Resources this Module’s Learning Resources in support of locating and analyzing research.
· Use the Walden Library to identify and read one peer-reviewed research article focused on a topic in your specialty field that interests you.
· Review the article you selected and reflect on the professional practice use of theories/concepts described by the article.
The Assignment:
Using the “Module 4 | Part 4” section of your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Template presented in the Resources, conduct an analysis of the elements of the research article you identified. Be sure to include the following:
· Your topic of interest.
· A correctly formatted APA citation of the article you selected, along with link or search details.

· Analysis of the article using the “Research Analysis Matrix” section of the template
