D. Case Study

A case study is a research method involving an up-close, in-depth, and comprehensive examination of a particular case. A case study may explore specific cases of a patient, can mean single and multiple case studies, can include quantitative or qualitative study, relies on multiple sources of evidence, and benefits from the prior development of theoretical propositions. A case study consists of abstract, introduction, cases, discussion, conclusion, and references.

E. Argumentative Essays

The argumentative essay is writing one aims to investigate the topic, gather, produce, and evaluate evidence concisely. Argumentative essays must pay attention to define the topic, limit of a topic, and analyzing the topic. The generic structure of the argumentative essay includes: 1) Introduction which contains the topic and research statement. 2) The body paragraph consists of three body paragraphs namely first point and supporting info, second point and supporting info, and third point and supporting info. Each body paragraph must begin with a topic sentence and the topic sentence must provide new support for your argument with a variety of evidence. 3) conclusions is the conclusion of all the explanations in the introduction and body sections. Use at least 3 references. The text does not exceed 1000 words consisting of introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusions, with an abstract of 250 words.

F. Literature Reviews

A literature review is a survey of everything that has been written about a particular topic, theory, or research question. This can provide a background for greater research, or can stand alone. A literature review that effectively analyzes and synthesizes information about the main theme or problem.

A literature review consists of abstract, introduction, methods, results, and conclusions. The abstract presents a summary of the article explaining the background, the purpose of writing the literature review, the method of tracing the article, the results, limitations, and conclusions as well as the implications of the findings. The introduction must identify the topic, some discussion about the importance of that topic, and a research statement that outlines what conclusions will be drawn from the analysis and synthesis of the literature. The method describes data sources, journal eligibility criteria, and synthesis methods. A minimum of 15 articles is subject to a literature review. Results of the synthesis of articles from the literature review discuss and assess research according to certain organizational principles, rather than discussing each source separately. The conclusions section should provide a summary of findings from the literature review and explain the journal analysis that influences the conclusions drawn from the overall state of literature, their weaknesses, strengths, and presents suggestions for further research or explains how further research can close the gap in the existing body of work on the topic. The word limit is 6000 words, the article is written concisely (excluding abstract and references).

G. Systematic Reviews

Systematic Reviews are exhaustive, critical assessments of evidence from different data sources in relation to a given subject in the area of health. A systematic search of the relevant data sources should be carried out and the items collected should be carefully evaluated for inclusion based on apriori defined inclusion/exclusion criteria. A description and an analytical graphic representation of the process should be provided. The specific features of the participants' or patients' populations of the studies included in the review should be described as well as the measures of exposure and the outcome with indication towards the corresponding data sources. A structured abstract is required (the same as for short reviews). The text must not exceed 6,000 words including the acknowledgments (not including abstract and references), with no more than five tables and/or figures, a minimum of 15 references and maximum of 30 references.
