What part of the research report may provide potential applications of the findings in practice? (Select all that apply.)
 
  a. Abstract
  b. Introduction
  c. Methods
  d. Results
  e. Discussion

Question 2

The results of an applied research study for anxiety management in children were published in both a highly respected nursing research journal and a second journal specific to pediatrics that focused on practice issues.
 
  The first article contained detailed statistical analyses and discussions of the results, as an extension of the author's previous basic research. The second presented the research in much simpler language, providing pictures of the children and discussing practice applications. Why does this represent or not represent duplicate publication?
  a. It does represent duplicate publication, because both articles reported results of the same study.
  b. It does not represent duplicate publication, because the language was completely different in the two articles, and the journal audience was different.
  c. It does represent duplicate publication, because the second article was a paraphrase of the first.
  d. It does not represent duplicate publication, because the second article referenced the first and focused heavily on practice applications, which were not included in the first.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, E
An abstract is usually about 200 to 300 words and describes the problem, purpose, framework, methods, sample size, key results, and conclusions. Conclusions can include potential applications for practice. The discussion section ties the other sections of the research report together, and includes major findings, limitations of the study, conclusions drawn from the findings, implications of the findings for nursing, and recommendations for further research.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Duplicate publication is the practice of publishing the same article or major portions of the article in two or more print or electronic media without notifying the editors or referencing the other publication in the reference list.
