Part B. Source three relevant journal articles and write a report

For Part B of Assessment 1, you will be required to:

1) Conduct a peer-reviewed journal article search through the CQUniversity library and its databases, and source three peer-reviewed articles relevant to the research interest you identified in your Week 3 forum post.

2) Write a brief (100-word) description of the methods used to source the peer-reviewed journal articles

3) Write a brief (250-300 words per article) overview of each of the three articles including:

• Why specifically each of the three journal articles were chosen

The researcher(s) aims/research question of interest

• Each article's significance to the area of interest (the relevance and importance of each article to the identified research area of interest)

• The key findings in each article.

The maximum word count for Part B of this assessment task is 1000 words (+/- 10%).
