Question 2

A researcher who has just submitted a trimmed-down version of her doctoral dissertation to a journal editor receives the following. What type of letter is it? (Select all that apply.) Dear Ms. Smith:
 
  We have received your manuscript and are returning it to you. Our journal's focus is exclusively quantitative research, and your manuscript uses a mixed methodology. Despite notable strengths of the quantitative portion, which contains cutting-edge information about medication errors and their correlates, our peer reviewers feel that you might be better served in seeking a venue that allowed both aspects of the study to be presented. The Nursing Journal of Mixed Methodologies springs to mind.
  Nonetheless, if you should wish to resubmit only the quantitative portion, essentially as it stands, we should be quite interested in returning it to the peer reviewers.
  Please see the one accompanying suggestion for table insertion.
  a. An outright rejection
  b. An acceptance
  c. An acceptance with minor revisions
  d. A rejection of the manuscript as currently written
  e. A suggestion for an alternative avenue of publication
  f. A compliment

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E, F
Communicating research findings, the final step in the research process, after completion of the thesis, involves developing a research report and disseminating it through presentations and publications to audiences of nurses, health care professionals, policy makers, and health care consumers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D, E, F
After reviewing a manuscript, the journal editor will reach one of four possible decisions: (1) acceptance of the manuscript as submitted, (2) acceptance of the manuscript pending minor revisions, (3) tentative acceptance of the manuscript pending major revisions, or (4) rejection of the manuscript. Accepting a manuscript as submitted is extremely rare. At the end of the revision process, the editor will send the author a letter that indicates final acceptance and the likely date of publication.
