  1. Evaluating Source Quality

Find two recent, peer-reviewed research articles (research articles will include a methods section that describes the sample, data collection methods, and analyses). This week’s readings focus on developing a literature review and identifying important areas of focus for research. Keeping this information in mind, discuss each of the articles using the PREPARE evaluation criteria (peer-reviewed, recent, evidence, purpose, authority, relevance, ethics). Were these criteria met in the two selected articles? Analyze each criterion and provide evidence and a rationale for your conclusion. Based on this analysis, will these be articles be retained for your final assignment, or will you look for stronger sources?

In developing your assignment, do not hesitate to utilize Capella Writing Center resources and reach out to the writing coaches for assistance if needed.
