| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Transferability can be important, | rather than generalizability |
| In applied research, reporting is often directed at many different types of | audiences, stakeholders, and sectors outside of academia via technical reports, position papers, presentations |
| Length of time that a grant is for must also be carefully considered in applied research because | results tend to help groups argue for rapid change ‘in the field’ |
| Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) | and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), request an SOI |
| Generally, the goal of an SOI is to convince a granting agency’s selection committee that you are | a credible team of researchers, and that your project can meet its objectives |
| clearly align your research aims with those goals, and focus on | why your work will be good for your discipline and the world... and so on |
| Smart scholarly practice looks up authors and finds out where they work, what philosophy they are writing with, what other | articles they have published, where they received their degrees from, and so on |
| What two real-world needs does the hospital study address? Develop and test a tool for the evaluation of mental and behavioral health (MBH) facilities, | evaluate the importance and effectiveness of specific environmental qualities and features, generate design guidelines for MBH facilities, and make recommendations for future research |
| Do you think that the research has been successful in addressing each need? Why or why not? | Noise control was the second most important environmental category. Safety and security was the highest priority |
| What argument do the authors make about why they chose a particular sample population? | Average time of patients only 7 days. Nurses had patient's interests in mind. |
| administrator responsible for MBH unit design: What would you think of the results of this paper? | Noise and safety seem basic. What about staff that have left due to burnout? Did they leave because it was too noisy? |
| How might you spend public dollars to best utilize the paper’s results? | Add sound reducing panels. Have guards in vacility. |
| What do you think is the most important finding in this paper? Why? | Noise, cleanliness and safety need attention |
| Mental and behavioral health settings: | Importance & effectiveness of environmental qualities & features as perceived by staff |
| When you offer feedback on the technical aspects of your writing try to offer a different perspective | with which to view their research idea, their methods and results, and interpretations of their findings |
| When you are giving feedback to someone, | try to be specific about where you notice grammar errors, typos, or errors in logic. |
| If a question is occurring to the reader, | then it may not be explained clearly in the paper |
| Keep your comments aimed toward the work itself | rather than toward the author who has created the work |
| Do not react to feedback | immediately! |
| Open-access journals are becoming popular because more | people around the world can use them to read science for free |
| closed-access publishing models do not charge authors to publish if their work is accepted but will, | instead, charge the reader to access new science |
