General
Instructions
As
doctoral students, your assignments are expected to follow the
principles of
high-quality scientific standards and promote knowledge and
understanding in
the field of public administration. You should apply a rigorous
and critical
assessment of a body of theory and empirical research,
articulating what is
known about the phenomenon and ways to advance research
about the topic under
review. Research syntheses should identify significant
variables, a systematic
and reproducible search strategy, and a clear framework for
studies included in
the larger analysis.
7. Manuscripts
should not be written in first person (“I”). All material should
be 12-point,
Times New Roman type, double-spaced with margins of one
inch.
All
manuscripts should be clearly and concisely written, with
technical material
set off. Please do not use jargon, slang, idioms, colloquialisms,
or
bureaucratese. Use acronyms sparingly and spell them out the
first time you use
them. Please do not construct acronyms from phrases you repeat
frequently in
the text.
Structure
of Assignment Paper
1.
Use
the following structure for your research article:
Abstract, Introduction,
Literature Review/Theory, Methods, Results, Discussion,
and
Conclusion
.
Include a robust discussion section distinct from your
8. conclusion.
2.
Give
your article a
Title
that is both descriptive and inviting to
prospective readers. Your article title should appeal to both
scholars and
practitioners. Use a shortened version of the main idea of your
article in the
title.
3.
Your
Abstract
should inform readers what your article is about and its most
important findings. Readers, including scholars and
practitioners, should be
able to understand your topic, argument, and conclusions. Make
your abstract
straightforward and do not use technical language or jargon.
9. 4.
In
the
Lit Review/Theory
, cite only literature and theory pertinent to the
specific issue and not those that are of only tangential or
general
significance. When summarizing earlier works, avoid
nonessential details;
instead, emphasize pertinent findings, relevant methodological
issues, and
major conclusions. Citation of relevant earlier literature is a
sign of scholarly responsibility and it is
critical for the growth of a doctoral student in public
administration.
5.
Methods
: The Methods section “describes in
detail how the study was conducted, including conceptual and
operational
definitions of the variables used in the study. Different types of
studies will
rely on different methodologies; however, a complete
description of the methods
used enables the reader to evaluate the appropriateness of your
methods and the
reliability and the validity of your results” (
APA current edition
). Include a description of your sample size and
procedure, participants, how data collected, and research
design.
10. 6.
Results
include data analysis used, results
of the analysis including tables and figures.
7.
Discussion
section includes interpretations
from the analysis. How do your analyses relate to the results
found by scholars
in your lit review/theory section. In this section, evaluate and
interpret their
implications, especially with respect to your original
hypotheses.
8.
Provide
a distinct
Conclusion
that tells readers what you found, why it is
important, and what difference it will make for research and
practice. Ensure
you separate your discussion section from the conclusion of the
article.
Synthesize your article; do not summarize it. Show readers how
the pieces of
11. your article fit together. Answer the question “So what?” Why
is your article
significant, and how is it relevant?
