ANS: D
Seminal studies are the first studies that prompted the initiation of the field of
research. Landmark studies are the studies that led to an important
development or a turning point in the field of research.
Serials are published over time or may be in multiple volumes, but do not
necessarily have a predictable publication date. Periodicals are subsets of
serials with predictable publication dates, such as journals, which are
published over time and are numbered sequentially for the years published.
This sequential numbering is seen in the year, volume, issue, and page
numbering of a journal. Monographs, such as books, hard-copy conference
proceedings, or pamphlets, are usually written once and may be updated with
a new edition as needed. Textbooks are monographs written to be used in
formal education programs. Entire volumes of books available in a digital or
electronic format are called e-books.

5. What is the purpose of the minimal review of relevant studies that the
grounded theory researcher undertakes before writing the research
proposal?
a. It compares the anticipated findings with the findings of similar research.
b. It directs the researcher in how to strategize data collection.
It helps the researcher to identify previous findings that will assist in
c.
interpretation of the planned study.
It reveals the need for the planned research by identifying what others
d.
have done.
ANS: D
In qualitative research, the purpose and timing of the literature review vary
based on the type of study to be conducted. In development of a grounded
theory study, a minimal review of relevant studies provides the beginning
point of the inquiry, but this review is only a means of making the researcher
aware of what studies have been conducted. This information, however, is not
used to direct the collection of data or interpretation of the findings in a
grounded theory study.
ANS: A
In qualitative research, the purpose and timing of the literature review vary
based on the type of study to be conducted. The purposes for reviewing the
literature for ethnographic studies and for exploratory descriptive qualitative
research are more similar to the literature review for quantitative research.
The researcher develops a general understanding of the concepts to be
examined related to the selected culture or topic. The literature review also
provides a background for conducting the study and interpreting the findings.
ANS: B
ANS: D
In qualitative research, the purpose and timing of the literature review vary
based on the type of study to be conducted. In historical research, the initial
review of the literature helps the researcher define the study questions and
make decisions about relevant sources. The data collection is actually an
intense review of published and unpublished documents that the researcher
has found.

ANS: D
The Boolean operators are the three words AND, OR, and NOT. Often they
must be capitalized. The Boolean operators AND and NOT are used with the
identified concepts. The Boolean operator OR is most useful with
synonymous terms or concepts. It is used to search for the presence of any of
a group of terms in the same search.
10. The original quotation in the fictional text by Atchison, Topeka, and
Santa Fe (2009) is as follows:
ANS: C
Rather than using direct quotes from an author, the writer of the literature
review should paraphrase the author’s ideas. Use of the author’s exact words
represents plagiarism. Eliminating the quotation marks, and citing an entire
paragraph, with the authors’ names at the end, also constitutes plagiarism.
Paraphrasing involves expressing the ideas clearly and in one’s own words.
The meanings of these sources are then connected to the proposed study.

“The literature” consists of all written sources relevant to the selected topic.
The literature includes newspapers, monographs, encyclopedias, conference
papers, scientific journals, textbooks, other books, theses, dissertations, and
clinical journals. Websites and reports developed by government agencies
and professional organizations are also included. Online encyclopedias to
which anyone can contribute, such as Wikipedia, are not considered scholarly
sources.
Evidence to the contrary was provided in several studies of efficacy but never
examined in a context of “the adolescent at sea with the ghost of his losses”
(Reynolds, 2011).
The student’s reference list contains the following citation for this work:
ANS: B, C, D, E
Sources that will be cited in a paper or recorded in a reference list should be
cross-checked two or three times to prevent errors. Questions that will identify
common errors are displayed in Box 6-1. To prevent these errors, the author
checks all the citations within the text of the literature review and each citation
in his or her reference list, to assure agreement and completeness.
