Notes: You can add new reference papers and exclude any of the above-listed papers if the paper is not relating to the synthesis topic. We are provided a clear instruction that we must synthesize at least 5 papers. Please add only original research papers (published in the US, Europe, or Australia within 5 years). Review papers and clinical trial papers are not qualified for this work, please don’t reference them.
Instructions:
Sections: on research synthesis
- Introduction – This paragraph(s) should be thoroughly developed and, combine your introduction and significance of the problem
- Synthesis of the research: minimum 2 pages maximum 3 pages
- Implications for Practice – 1 to 2 paragraphs
- Conclusion – 1 Paragraph
The entire assignment should be no more than 5 pages (excluding cover page and references). No abstract is needed.
Research synthesis is not a summary but a relationship between sources and thesis statements. How findings support the topic.
The formula for writing synthesis:
- A write, “X”, B agrees (disagree, elaborates upon, clarifies, concurs, etc.) and writes, “Y”
- A synthesis paper should leave the reader with a holistic sense that the writer has conveyed his or her new ideas, and has compiled support from the research
Thesis statement:
Connective word showing a relationship between the research
The writer’s voice is based on what he/she has discovered in the research
Connective word/counterargument
The writer’s voice is based on what he/she has discovered in the research
Checklist for research synthesis:
- Is the relationship between sources clear and, does it address your thesis statement?
- Are connective words used to link two or more different sources?
- Are the connective words used accurately to draw a relationship between sources?
- Is your voice evident and clear or do your sources completely dominate your work?
- Is one source synthesized or otherwise used more than the other sources on the Reference Page?
- Common phrases used in synthesis papers that demonstrate relationships include:
- “agrees”
- “disagrees”
- “concurs”
- “expounds upon”
- “goes further”
- “contradicts”
- “Confirms”
- “Clarifies”
- Implications for practice need to be clear and relate to synthesis.
- well-developed introductory and concluding paragraph.
- Style and synthesis – need an excellent synthesis of research and synthesis should contrast and compare the results.
