This week, you will write a mini-scientific literature review. It is mini because you will only be reviewing two sources. 

For this literature review assignment, we are going to give you a choice of three topics to choose from. Choose one for this assignment.  

  1. COPD: treatment protocols
  2. Asthma: corticosteroids use in children and side effects
  3. DKA: treatment protocols 

Remember, in a scientific review, focus your analysis on author’s hypothesis (thesis), scientific method used in the research, and the results of the study presented. In a scientific literature review, the reviewer (you) identifies what he/she perceives as the strengths and weaknesses of the study, and analyzes the author’s findings and conclusions.   

For this review, be sure to:

  • Select two relevant and appropriate scholarly articles that address the topic you chose.
  • Present a thorough literature review of both articles by summarizing, synthesizing, and evaluating the materials.
  • Demonstrate understanding of the content presented in the articles.
  • Include a critical assessment of the sources. Do not simply include a summary of what you have read.
  • Incorporate citations into your body paragraphs; incorporate the essential and most relevant supporting evidence eloquently and appropriately.
  • Present your writing in a clear, organized manner.
  • Provide a strong introduction and conclusion, including further questions for research.
  • Use proper APA format with proper citations. Review APA Citations Here
