Strengths and Weaknesses
Describe at least one strength and one limitation of each design. Clearly identify which design has what strength or weakness. Support your points.
Comparison Insights
Describe an insight or conclusion you can draw from the comparison. For example, how might you use the designs? What populations, interventions, or research problems might be better suited for one or the other design?
Ethical, Legal and Socio-Cultural Considerations
Explain any ethical, legal, and socio-cultural considerations that may be relevant for the designs you selected. Remember this section is ethical, legal, and sociocultural so you need to discuss all three. In addition, you need to support your points with scholarly support, such as the ethical code, laws, etc.
Conclusion
Your conclusion section should recap the major points you have made in your work. However, perhaps more importantly, you should interpret what you have written and what the bigger picture is. Remember your paper should be 2 - 3 pages not counting your title page and reference page. Please do not exceed three pages of content.
Save your Application as a ".doc" or ".rtf" file with the filename APP4+your first initial+last name. For example, Sally Ride’s assignment filename would be "APP4SRide". Use the "Submit an Assignment" link, choose the Week 4: Application basket, and then add your Application as an attachment.
References
Always include references. Be sure every reference is in APA format with a hanging indent. Also, every citation should have a reference and vice versa. Use the APA manual, the Citation Guide or some source to verify your format. APA is very specific about punctuation and how elements of the reference are presented.

This document provides information about writing a research proposal for funding. It begins with the aim and objectives of making participants proficient in writing research proposals. It then discusses key elements like the title, introduction, literature review, methodology, expected outcomes, facilities, budget, funding agencies and eligibility. The document provides guidance on writing each section of the proposal, including defining problems, objectives, hypotheses and significance. It also outlines the budget, time schedule and reviewers' expectations for funding approval.
The document discusses the key differences between a research proposal and a research report. A research proposal outlines a proposed research project and must convince others of the worthiness and importance of conducting the research. It is prepared before research begins. A research report details research that has already been conducted and its results. It is the culmination and final product of the research process. A research report contains sections on the title, abstract, introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and references, providing a full account of the completed research.
The document outlines the steps in the research process, which are: defining the research problem, reviewing previous literature, formulating hypotheses, designing the research, collecting data, analyzing data, and interpreting and reporting findings. It discusses each step in more detail, covering topics like reviewing concepts and theories, different research designs and sampling techniques, methods of data collection, types of data analysis, and interpreting findings to develop theories.

This document provides an overview of the typical structure and content of a qualitative research paper. It discusses that qualitative research involves exploratory methods like open-ended conversations to understand individuals' opinions. The paper is typically organized into chapters that include developing a literature review, outlining the research methodology, presenting an analysis of collected data, and summarizing findings and conclusions. It provides guidance on how to effectively write each of these sections, such as emphasizing a literature review's role in identifying gaps and how a methodology chapter explains the data collection and analysis processes.
The document provides guidance on how to write a research proposal. It discusses key components of a research proposal including an introduction, background, purpose, objectives, literature review, methodology, and work plan. The introduction should provide context and explain why the research topic is important. The background discusses previous related work. The purpose clearly states what will be investigated. Objectives should be specific and measurable. The methodology section describes how data will be collected and analyzed. A work plan outlines the timeline and responsibilities.
Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it.
Chapter - 1
The Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is the most powerful force in the universe. If you work against it, it can only bring you pain and misery. Successful people know this but have kept it hidden from the lower class for centuries because th
This document provides guidance on writing a research proposal. It defines what a research proposal is and discusses its key components. A research proposal lays out a plan for future research, including what the researcher plans to study, how they will study it, and what resources are required. The document outlines the typical sections of a proposal, including the introduction, literature review, methods, and discussion. It emphasizes that a proposal must convince readers that the proposed research is worthwhile and that the researcher is competent to complete it. Overall, the document serves as a guide for structuring and writing an effective research proposal.

WRITING AN ACTION RESEARCH DISSERTATION PART TWOINTRODU.docxambersalomon88660
WRITING AN ACTION RESEARCH DISSERTATION: PART
TWO
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the second part of our two-part media presentation. In the first part, we talked about key tools for
successful academic writing and gave an example of how these tools can make your dissertation writing
process faster and help you create a stronger dissertation document. This second part of our two-part media
presentation applies those key tools to the specific challenges of writing an action research dissertation.
PROCESS OF WRITING
The process of writing the research dissertation involves finding ways to help your readers understand both the
philosophy of research underlying the study and the methods employed in the study.
ACTION RESEARCH ROLES
It will be important to help your readers to understand the roles of the Principal Investigator and the participants
in your Action Research study. Rather than the "all-knowing" researcher who controls conditions and conducts
an experiment on or to someone or something else, Action Research assumes that the participants themselves
have insight and an important perspective and role.
ACTION RESEARCH METHODS
As a writer, you will want to help your reader understand that this idea of democratizing the research process
applies regardless of the research methodology used. Action Research involves methods that would be
familiar in both qualitative and quantitative types of research, and it would be very common to find mixed
methods in a particular study. Regardless of the methodology used, the participants can and will play an active
role at each step of the research process.
Help your readers to understand that the participants are active in the research process of planning, deciding,
and helping to shape the implementation of the study protocol and analysis of the findings. Also, help your
readers to understand that findings are interpreted or understood in part based on "meaningfulness" to the
participants engaged in the work.
An example might be a study on abusive behavior in hospitals among nursing and other staff. Members of the
study team could help refine the survey instruments, later take the survey themselves as part of the participant
pool, and help to interpret the findings.
IMPLICATIONS FOR WRITING...
In the next few minutes, we will discuss four elements of writing the action research dissertation. You will want
your dissertation to clearly explain the following:
1. How the research questions that you asked led you to decide to use action research.
2. How the research questions that you asked informed they way in which you organized and presented
your discussion of prior research.
3. How you balanced the two goals of being of service and avoiding risk to participants within the action
research paradigm.
4. The reporting of outcomes and analysis of outcomes.
ACTION RESEARCH DISSERTATIONS
Action Research dissertations are, by their nature, research studies in which the roles of the Princi.
Here are some potential responses to your questions:
1. A potential research topic could be "Determining student and faculty demand for a coffee shop near the university and local schools."
2. A problem statement could be: "There is currently no coffee shop located near the university and local schools to serve the needs of students, faculty and staff during the day. It is unknown whether there is sufficient demand to support a new coffee shop business."
3. Objectives may include:
- Assess the size of potential customer base from the university and schools
- Understand customer preferences for types of coffee, food offerings, atmosphere etc.
- Determine average spending amounts and frequency of visits to a coffee shop
- Identify

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

3. What is it?
A tool to improve recognition
and details on
all
contributor roles in a published work.
4. Why do we need it?
More and more frequently, research and
scholarly publications involve collaboration.
There is a growing interest among
stakeholders in scholarship in increasing
the transparency of research and in
identifying the specific roles that
contributors play in creating collaborative
scholarly works.
5. Why do we need it?
Provides a more precise and extensive
identification of all contributions to a paper
All roles recognized
Better credit given to supporting roles
Modeling to writing are all significant
Eventually … Publishers to pass author
name data to auto-populate the author
name fields
6. How did it get here?
A workshop at Harvard
Sponsored by the Wellcome Trust
In autumn of 2011, discussed ways to
improve recognition and details on all

8. The word “author”
Role of “author” is no longer clear
Not a single designation of the work done
Doesn’t represent the complexity involved
in the supporting roles of the community
in producing a published work
Offer a list of 11+ roles that contributors
can claim in the roles they play in the
publication of their work
9. The challenge
Increasingly complex research communities
Conflicting funding contributions
Digital distribution mandate that we need to
find a way to identify the contributions of all
who participate in the process of bringing
research to fruition
10. Key challenges
Keep the list to 10 – 12 terms
To make a taxonomy suitably generic but with
sufficient granularity to enable precision
To enable some degree of cross-disciplinary
applicability
To ensure we don’t introduce perverse
incentives
The funding information is not an author role
Covering all disciplines – when the approaches
are quite different
13. The work and result
The task force empowered by the
workshop subsequently built a small
taxonomy for use in the categorization of
the actual contribution an "author" or
other contributor makes to the published
paper.
14. We all come into this with a slightly different perspective…..
Criteria important for Nature
Demand on taxonomy
Transparency
No 'honorary authorship'*
Contribution must justify authorship
Accountability
All authors have responsibilities
Corresponding authors have more
responsibilities (overall integrity, persistence,
data/material sharing)
Authors responsible for specialized experiments
or analysis have some responsibilities
Contribution must justify authorship
Degree of contribution is important (at
least 'corresponding' versus 'contributing')
Desire to provide appropriate credit, although
we are resisting demands for convoluted cocontributions ("7 co-first and 6 co-second
authors")
* Simple co-contribution is often
demanded
* Degree of contribution is important (lead
role versus contributor role? or intellectual
innovation versus operation?)
* Recognition of important expertise that
does not typically justify 'first author' level
Desire to allow microattributions
* Allow association to part of the paper
(fig), object (data, resource, protocol), field
specific expertise
Corresponding author filling in on behalf of
authors if captured as metadata; or inferred
from existing statements.
Contribution must be self explanatory to
reader in addition to be a standard
Credit
Ease of use
Nature
Allow association with parts of the paper
(data, figure)
*We already have a definition of authorship, by which we consider 'author' not necessarily = 'writer'
(may be different problem for clinical journals). According to this definition, 'obtaining funding' or
'writing' only would not justify authorship.

36. Taxonomy validation
To validate the initial taxonomy
25 publishers invited
Each participating publisher identified 50
or more articles with corresponding
authors (of multi-authored works with
between 2 and 15 authors) and
completed a survey
37.
38. The “Corresponding Author”
In physics, medical, and biological
sciences, it is very important that each of
the authors be allowed to state his or her
own level of contribution.
Worry about disagreements when only
one author fills in for people’s contribution
types and levels.
39. The publisher data
Returned spreadsheets
Included relevant author names
Included journal information
Corresponding authors and participating
authors submitted their information using a
spreadsheet template.
42. Next steps?

43. Next steps
– more validation
Broader feedback
Greater variety of constituents
Verify with relevant works to see if the
test contributor role assignments accord
with their perceptions of their own
contributions.
Request input from the library
community.
45. Draft principles of use:
This work is designed to be used with publisher "author"
submission systems as well as internal editorial production
systems. It may be used as a brief authority file, pick list, or
drop down menu in those systems. In order to encourage
use and participation, we have made the roles general and
the number limited so that they can be used in a drop down
menu or pick list within paper submission modules.
Contributors may also elect to tag themselves within the
author block of a paper.
46. Draft principles of use:
We found that contributors and publishers come from many
different perspectives and cultures of use. Clinical fields
currently present attributions differently than physics, or the
humanities. The current author assignment protocols are
different within the fields of medicine, genetics, physics,
biology etc.; however, the roles level remains the same. In
a medical setting it includes patient care, clinical
characterization of patients, ensuring patient follow-up. In
genetics and genome research it would include
phenotyping, genotyping and the associated analysis.
47. Draft principles of use:
Contributions must be self-explanatory to the reader and
follow a standard attribution path to be understood globally.
Use of this list should be based on level of contribution to
encourage transparency.
The contributorship designation should reflect the
responsibilities of the individual claiming each role. For
example, corresponding author responsibilities include the
overall integrity of the paper, and ensuring that the data
and appropriate materials are shared.
Some contributors are responsible for the specialized
experiments and others for extensive analysis.
48. Draft principles of use:
The degree of the contribution is also important; for example, to
distinguish between an intellectual innovation and an
operational role.
The expertise offered to the project and paper may not justify a
first position on the paper.
Obtaining the funding, or leading the lab where the research is
done, may not justify contributorship positions.
As the taxonomy is meant to be considered a standard,
contributors to published works should be assigned one or more
role descriptors as they appear in the taxonomy.
Taking into account the scope of each descriptor, most
contributors’ roles will be covered in the taxonomy. If a role is
not available, contributors should contact the creators of the
taxonomy so they can consider changing or expanding the
taxonomy to reflect this role.
49. Draft principles of use:
For each contributor of the work in question, please
indicate applicable roles, and use free text fields to
supply additional role information where relevant.
Choose the most appropriate taxonomy term for
your contribution(s).
More than one taxonomy term per person may
be used.
Please use standard phrasing of each taxonomy
term.
50. Draft principles of use:
For each role please indicate degree of
contribution, if appropriate.
Below the terms are stated first as a
"Scope" in several cases with sub roles
and secondly as a possible "Scope note"

additions
Translators
Commentors or Discussors - Authors who discuss
another person's work or find errors in another work.
This could be widened to cover the reviewers of
books, software, etc. unless they are considered as
curators (?) or investigators (?).
Editors and Guest Editors - They may have a hand in
the selection of articles for inclusion in various special
issues/sections, or even select conference papers for
further development and publication in a periodical.
57. A possible map to JATS
<collab>: Group of contributors credited under a single name; includes an organization credited
as a contributor. REMARKS: This element may contain either a collaboration of individuals or the
name of an organization (such as a laboratory, educational institution, corporation, or department)
when such a unit acts as a contributor by, for example, authoring the work.
<contrib>: Container element for information about a single author, editor, or other contributor.
REMARKS: Types of Contributors. The element <contrib> can be used for many roles besides
authors, for example, editors, special issue editors, photographers, illustrators, directors, etc. The
@contrib-type attribute placed on the <contrib> element, or the <role> element used within the
<contrib> element, may be used to describe the contribution.
<contrib-group>: Container element for one or more contributors and information about those
contributors. REMARKS: Inside the element <article-meta>, the <contrib-group> element groups
individual contributors to a document such as authors, researchers, or photographers. Inside the
element <journal-id>, the <contrib-group> element groups contributors to the whole journal, above
the level of an article, such as section editors or journal editors, or special issue editors.
58. As part of the <contrib> element
<role>: Title or role of a contributor to a work (for example, editor-in-chief, chief scientist,
photographer, research associate). REMARKS: Information on the role or type of contribution is
collected in two places, in the @contrib-type attribute on the <contrib> element and in the <role>
element (which is part of the contributor information inside a<contrib> element). For example, the
<contrib> element’s @contrib-type attribute might have a value of “editor”, whereas the content of
the <role> element could be “Associate Editor”. As another example, the <contrib> element’s
@contrib-type attribute might be “author”, and the <role> element might contain “Principal
Author”.
<principal-investigator>: Individual(s) responsible for the intellectual content of the work reported
in the document.
<principal-award-recipient>: Individual(s) or institution(s) to whom the award was given (for
example, the principal grant holder or the sponsored individual).
59. <contrib-id>:
<contrib-id>: One identifier for a person such as a
contributor or principal investigator. This element will hold:
an ORCID,
a trusted publisher’s identifier,
a JST (Japanese Science and Technology Agency)
identifier,
or an NII (National Individual Identifier).
ISNI – International Standard Name Identifier
The <contrib-id> tag is the only one that seems to
reference controlled vocabularies – map to the ORCID,
JST, NII

Editor's Notes
As you know, I would prefer not to have the ‘lead’ supporting statements as I think it is sufficient – at least from our perspective – to know who contributed to which aspects rather than start introducing hierarchies (value-laden language).should be asked for elsewhere as it is never single reason for the ‘author’ role (and should be taken care of by FundRef or at least more structured information in a funding section)Biomedical and Geoscience cover things very differently and mean different things by the placement of authors in an article. “I am very concerned that "Lead" and "Supporting" are dragging us back into the status-laden nonsense of "equal second author" and I favor removing these after the survey, or designing the survey in two sections to try to find out when authors feel the need for status claims rather than granular contribution statements. The point of a granular contribution statement is to identify who did what.”
Is it awkward to have the note “May be covered if degrees of contribution are applied” showing up here, after also being in the slides for version 2, 6 and 7? Maybe not…-gc
