== Identify and Describe Research Problem ==
{{#categorytree:{{PAGENAME}}|hideroot|mode=pages}}
=== Description ===
State why the problem you address is important.
Result: What did you observe and what is the data basis for the findings?
Discussion: What are the findings, what is the basis for the findings, could I come to the same findings and how do the results contribute to the theory?
Conclusions: What did you learn and what does your
work contribute to the field? [1]

[11] Rankings for Outlet Selection
 
[12] IS Senior Scholars’ Basket of six / eight
 
== Define Search String ==
=== Description ===
A search string is a combination of characters and words.
 
Outlets:
Select your outlets and justify your selection.
journals, conferences, books
scientific outlets only, whitepapers, press materials, etc.
Timeframe:
Identify decisive milestones in publications.
Select a reasonable timeframe you can manage.
Use seminal papers (e.g. reviews) to identify phases.
Keywords:
Words and phrases selected; and synonyms thereof.
Account for different schools of thought.
Be advised of connectors and their appropriate use.
 
=== Further Readings ===
* Exclusion criteria [13]
* Outlets in detail [13]

== Perform Forward/Backward Search ==
=== Description ===
# Select leading journals as they report significant contributions (but also look outside the field).
# Go backward by reviewing the citations for the articles identified in step 1
# Go forward by identifying articles citing the key articles identified in the previous two steps. [14]

== Perform Literature Analysis ==
Goal:
Identify any gaps in current research in order to suggest areas for further investigation.
 
Basic strategies:
Meta studies
Literature review (systematic literature review and traditional or narrative literature review)
 
Benefits:
facilitates theory development by aggregating knowledge
synthesizes areas in which a plethora of research exists
creates a firm foundation for advancing knowledge

== Write up Results ==
=== Description ===
Results:
==== General ====
Report on collected data (response rates, etc.).
Describe participants (demographic, clinical condition, etc.).
Present key findings with respect to the central research question.
Present secondary findings (secondary outcomes, subgroup analyses, etc.).
 
Briefly:
What did you observe and what is the data basis for the findings?
However, do not interpret or theoretically integrate findings yet!
 
==== Discussion ====
General:
Refer to main indings of your study.
Discuss how findings adress your research question.
Discuss main findings with reference to previous research.
Discuss why results are new and how the findingd contribute to the body of knowledge.
Briefly:
 
What are the findings, what is the basis for the findings, could I come to the same findings and how do the results contribute to theory?
However, do not judge or explain implications yet!
 
==== Conclusions ====
General:
Present scientific and practical implications of results.
Outline the limitations of the study.
Offer perspectives for future work.
 
Briefly:
What did you learn and what does your work contribute to the field?
