Week 4 - Evaluation the Research Process
Evaluating the Research Process
The literature review process is a critical element of a clinical and academic research. Its main intention is to provide a synopsis of sources explored during the phase of researching for a particular subject. It demonstrates and provides the readers the overall big picture of the study. A worthy literature review must have particular evaluations of the quality of the study, and conclusions of the research study. The literature review is important because it defines the proposed research relationship to other prior statistical research. Additionally, the relevance and originality of the author’s research indicates the difference from other statisticians. The literature review is a presentation of crucial summary of general and specialized statistical literature with relevance to a particular subject of the research problem. It is essential that every statement must be supported by a reference to published statistical literature. According to USC Libraries, it is important to identify the areas of prior research to preclude replication of effort (USC Libraries, 2014).
Use of Literature Review The literature assessment in this article introduces information relating to the most common causes of death in asthma patients, COPD and non-respiratory hospitalized patients. According to the researchers, the causes of death in asthma patients are inadequate and could use more information. Moreover, the authors are determined to choose this particular study due to the post epidemics of asthma mortalities during the 1990s. Although many research and studies have validated a consistent decrease in mortality from the previous years, the probable causes of death are still not well understood. Additional studies have proven the decline of deaths was because of standard implementation of clinical practice guidelines and the increasing utilization of inhaled corticosteroids for asthma maintenance.
Meanwhile, the researchers formulated a study
