Write a research paper on FLAX SEED as its use as a form of complementary and alternative medical therapy. Order Description A.Format The assignment should be ten pages long (about 2800 words), 12-poin" rel="nofollow">int font, double spaced. Use APA style to list and cite all sources used. Include a title page and reference list (not counted in" rel="nofollow">in the seven to ten pages required). B.Gradin" rel="nofollow">ing The important thin" rel="nofollow">ing is to cover your topic as thoroughly as needed to give a reader a complete picture of the issue. The Academic Expert will evaluate your assignment for accuracy and completeness, then upload a response file plus comments and your mark (grade) to the assignment lin" rel="nofollow">ink. Listed below are the primary criteria that will be used to evaluate your essay: ?Relevance: Does the essay pertain" rel="nofollow">in to the chosen topic? ?Defin" rel="nofollow">inition and precision of terms: Have you clearly stated the meanin" rel="nofollow">ing of the terms used and used them consistently throughout the assignment? ?Use of evidence: Do you support arguments with evidence from reliable sources? ?Accuracy of in" rel="nofollow">information: Have you made a clear distin" rel="nofollow">inction between supportable facts and your own opin" rel="nofollow">inions? ?Logical consistency: Are your conclusions supported by the evidence in" rel="nofollow">in your paper? C. Fin" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">ing and Usin" rel="nofollow">ing Information Here is in" rel="nofollow">information on how to search for sources and to critically evaluate what you read. This is essential if you are to produce quality assignments. An excellent source of in" rel="nofollow">information for doin" rel="nofollow">ing fast literature searches is the PubMed website, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/, published by the US National Library of Medicin" rel="nofollow">ine National Institutes of Health. However, the great majority of papers generated via this website only allow you to read the abstract, not the whole paper. You will be able to fin" rel="nofollow">ind most of the full papers through the AU Library. Start your search by clickin" rel="nofollow">ing on the Journal Titles tab and enterin" rel="nofollow">ing the name of the journal in" rel="nofollow">in which the article appears in" rel="nofollow">in the Search box. Here are useful websites for the assignments: Mayo Clin" rel="nofollow">inic: www.mayoclin" rel="nofollow">inic.com National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health: https://nccih.nih.gov/ Medlin" rel="nofollow">inePlus: https://medlin" rel="nofollow">ineplus.gov/ Evaluatin" rel="nofollow">ing What You Read When you write your assignment, you will have to gather in" rel="nofollow">information from various sources such as journals or the Internet. Some of the in" rel="nofollow">information that you come across will be reliable, while much may be lackin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in credibility. It is essential that you carefully evaluate what you read and determin" rel="nofollow">ine its reliability. Here are some of the factors you need to consider: 1.Is the author an expert? Is the author qualified to write on the subject? Is the author a credible and unbiased source of in" rel="nofollow">information? Consider the followin" rel="nofollow">ing people who have written an article that tells you about herb X and whether it has any value as a remedy for arthritis: Doctor A is a professor of medicin" rel="nofollow">ine at a university. Mr. B is described as an “expert on natural treatments.” 2.What method was used to obtain" rel="nofollow">in data or conduct research? If this is a report of a research study, was it carried out on rats, samples in" rel="nofollow">in a test tube, or people with a disease? If the results are based on actual subjects with a disease, then was the study based on anecdotal observations or was it a clin" rel="nofollow">inical trial, usin" rel="nofollow">ing a double-blin" rel="nofollow">ind procedure with several dozen subjects? Does it appear that the conclusion is reasonable based on the data provided? 3.Where was the in" rel="nofollow">information published? The article you read about herb X and its possible value as a remedy for arthritis was ?published in" rel="nofollow">in a scholarly journal. ?published in" rel="nofollow">in a magazin" rel="nofollow">ine you obtain" rel="nofollow">ined at a health food shop. ?attached to a website for a company that sells supplements. 4.What type of audience is the author writin" rel="nofollow">ing to? Is this article written for the general public, for health professionals, or perhaps for some other group? 5.Is the article written in" rel="nofollow">in a scientific way? The author states that this latest study confirms several previous studies that were published in" rel="nofollow">in credible medical journals. References to those articles are given. versus The author states that “herb X speeds detoxification and stimulates the immune system.” No references are given. Many times it is obvious whether the article is based on legitimate science or junk science. But often figurin" rel="nofollow">ing it out can be quite challengin" rel="nofollow">ing: you will have to look for subtle clues. Carefully evaluate the articles you read based on the above factors. Look at the whole story before drawin" rel="nofollow">ing a conclusion. There are three excellent guidelin" rel="nofollow">ines to follow: 1.If the claims are too good to be true, they probably are. 2.If the person makin" rel="nofollow">ing the claims also makes a profit by persuadin" rel="nofollow">ing you to buy a product, then be doubly dubious. 3.If the article in" rel="nofollow">includes statements that are contrary to accepted scientific prin" rel="nofollow">inciples, then the claims that are made are unlikely to be factual. Questions to Ask Yourself about Your Review of Literature You may fin" rel="nofollow">ind the AU Library resource “What is a Literature Review?” helpful, at https://libguides.athabascau.ca/literaturereview. 1.Have I formulated a specific thesis or research question that my literature review helps to provide in" rel="nofollow">information on? 2.What is the scope of my literature review? What types of publications am I usin" rel="nofollow">ing (e.g., journals, books, government documents, popular media)? What disciplin" rel="nofollow">ine am I workin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in (e.g., nursin" rel="nofollow">ing, psychology, medicin" rel="nofollow">ine)? 3.Has my search been wide enough to ensure that I have properly covered the topic? Have I just taken the first two or three articles I happened to come across and assumed that these represent the literature on the subject? Has my search been narrow enough to exclude irrelevant material? Is the number of sources I’ve used appropriate for the length of my paper? 4.Have I discussed the strengths and weaknesses of the cited material? Have I critically analyzed the literature I cited? Or have I merely summarized articles? 5.Have I cited and discussed studies contrary to my perspective? 6.Will the reader fin" rel="nofollow">ind my literature review relevant and appropriate? 7.Have I succeeded in" rel="nofollow">in showin" rel="nofollow">ing that I recognize relevant in" rel="nofollow">information? Have I explain" rel="nofollow">ined its relevance to the particular topic, and carried out a critical appraisal? The goal is not necessarily to get to “the truth.” With many questions, the answer may be unambiguously: “This claim (or theory of proposed treatment) is clearly wrong.” But many other times a more reasonable conclusion may be along these lin" rel="nofollow">ines: “The evidence does not allow a firm conclusion. On balance the claims bein" rel="nofollow">ing made may be correct, but more research is required.” Often, different experts may read the same evidence and come to very different opin" rel="nofollow">inions. The crucial goal you must aim for is to review the literature and draw carefully balanced conclusions that stand up to scrutin" rel="nofollow">iny. It is quite okay not to reach a “true/false” or “yes/no” conclusion. Assignment: Write a research paper on "Flax seed" as its use as as a form of complementary and alternative medical therapy.
