Assignment One: Manuscript for Professional Publication
Course: EDUC 919 – Professional Writing and Research
Overview: As a doctoral student and teaching professional you are encouraged to publish in scholarly journals. One of the responsibilities of holding an advanced degree is to be a leader in your field. The best way to accomplish that goal is to be published.
Requirements:
Based on your dissertation topic, write a “literature review” to be submitted to peer-reviewed journal. The article should be thought provoking and have a unique perspective or insight into a current educational topic. The manuscript should be original and firmly grounded and supported by research. Do not just regurgitate existing literature. Unlike your Dissertation’s Literature review, a journal article literature review synthesizes the literature and is succinct and to the point. Begin by identifying the topic area and its importance to the educational field.
Green, Johnson and Adams describe a literature review as “a type of research article published in a professional peer-reviewed journal. The purpose of a literature review is to objectively report the current knowledge on a topic and base this summary on previously published research. A literature review provides the reader with a comprehensive overview and helps place that information into perspective.”
