RESEARCH PAPER

 Part I: ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

After choosing the topic for your Research Project, you will complete an Annotated Bibliography assignment using the Research Project: Annotated Bibliography Template provided. The topic of the research project has to be related to 'a current issue concerning the use of health informatics in quality management and decision support within the healthcare industry'.

This assignment will be used as a springboard in your research for your project. It may also be used to begin to explore ideas or concepts you find interesting within the realm of the topics covered in this course. You must use the Liberty University Library Research Portal to identify a minimum of 5 scholarly journal articles from peer-reviewed journals addressing your topic. All references must be less than 10 years old. Ensure that the document follows current APA formatting. When using the provided template, delete current material and replace it with your own material. Refer to the Annotated Bibliography Rubric for additional project insights.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

Part II: OUTLINE ASSIGNMENT

You will complete a full sentence outline in preparation for the Research Project: Final

Document.

You will be using the same topic as the Annotated Bibliography.

The outline must include a thesis statement, the research questions/issues being answered/addressed, how much space will be allotted for each section of the paper, and a preliminary reference list of at least 5 sources (that are less than 10 years old).

Full Sentence Outline

The full sentence outline format is essentially the same as the alphanumeric outline. The main

difference (as the title suggests) is that full sentences are required at each level of the outline.

This outline is most often used when preparing a traditional essay.

Thesis Statement:

Question(s)/Issues Begin Addressed:

I. Man-made pollution is the primary cause of global warming.

             A. Greenhouse gas emissions are widely identified by the    scientific community to be

harmful.

                        1. The burning of coal and fossil fuels are the primary releasers of

hazardous greenhouse gases.

Full sentence outlines are often accompanied with an APA reference list on a separate page.

Quotes within the outline must also utilize current APA format for in-text citations.
