By now you have identified your topic for your literature review in Week 8. Using that topic, find 5 scholarly articles in the NCU library. With those 5 scholarly research articles, use Stern’s (2015) Note-Taking Table provided in the resource section to fill in sections of the table with the elements of research. Be sure to complete with proper APA citation, form, and style as needed.

How will you find the purpose of the study?

How will you locate the methodology and findings in each study?

The information you include in the Note-Taking Table can be brief, in the form of notes. Anytime you enter information that is a direct quote from the original source, be sure to enclose that information in quotation marks so you can cite it correctly in your paper. Failure to correctly cite can lead to a violation of academic integrity. Such violations are recorded in your student record and can have serious consequences, including dismissal from your program.

Finally, review the resource collection websites RefWorks and Zotero found in the Books and Resources for this Week, and then write a one-page summary comparing the two programs. Explain which one you would prefer and why?
