DNP 801 Topic 2 DQ 2 Identifying appropriate evidence for support (peer-reviewed and scholarly sources)
Topic 2 DQ 2
Feb 24-28, 2022
Learners are expected to demonstrate scholarly writing throughout the program in all written work (discussion forum, assignments, final project). Reflect on writing your Scholarly Writing Using Research paper and consider which of the standards of scholarly writing are most challenging for you:
- Identifying appropriate evidence for support (peer-reviewed and scholarly sources).
- Writing in one’s own words and properly citing authors for ideas, findings, etc.
- Writing in APA style.
Describe which is most challenging for you and why. What tools or sites did you use to address the challenges? What strategies will you use to become more proficient? (This response does not require research support.)
You are expected to use the principles of scholarly writing throughout the program without further prompting. Refer to the writing resources in the GCU Library and Student Success Center for ongoing assistance.

Hi Doctoral Students,
I wanted to ensure you are aware of the TRIP (turning research into practice) database for finding current research on your DNP DPI Project concept or question. I think you will find it a very good tool for you to assess a quick search. Take care, Dr. Etheridge

Writing in general is something I truly enjoy doing but writing a fiction essay and demonstrating scholarly writing skills tends to differ quite surprisingly. That is the focus of scholarly writing deems from research upon research of appropriate material that is peer-reviewed and within the scope of study of the research that you are testing in your paper (Irvin, 2019). It is important to have several scholarly sources that are present in the past five years that share a common relationship with the reader, your research needs to reflect your theory so the readers can be on board with your idea that lead for improvement in your present material. Writing a scholarly paper has many steps to follow in developing a well written paper for your research it has to have the right balance of a literature review, testing of your theory, a development into what you want the reader to obtain, learning to write in your own words what you gain from your review of the research way so that you are not plagiarizing in any form and you must be sure to cite all the material correctly to give credit where credit is due (Walden University, 2021).
I think the hardest part for me with writing a scholarly paper is finding the right research that is appropriate for my theory, I have not ever had a hard time with wiring in my own words, but it is the concerned that the material for the literature review is not the right choice or right research. So, it will be one of the areas I will need to real focus on to be successful. As far as citing material in APA format it does worry me some as again it has been quite some time since I wrote a scholarly research paper. I could write a prescription with my eyes closed but this is quite a bit different. So, the truth is I will need to really buckle down a get myself familiar with the library and some of the amazing resources that are at our fingertips. I cannot wait to get started on the literature review.

Hi Margaret,
I appreciate your comments about the difference between writing in general and scholarly writing. This is so true, as a Doctorate, scholarly writing is an expectation and requires not only opinion but now the reason for your opinion is based on sound research. Nice post.

My struggles align very closely with yours. Even though I have been using APA through several programs, it is always a struggle. PERRLA is an add-on program for Microsoft Word that has been a lifesaver. It holds all my references and will even search for the article information, so you do not have to enter it then place it in the correct APA format. PERRLA even does the entire paper set up, so margins, headings, and title page are all following the APA version needed. It has been a massive help with formatting.
Finding the proper research is also a big concern for me. Making lists can be helpful when identifying what you are looking for. Lists
that include specific terms to search and then add other words to broaden the search. Tags are also attached to many articles and can help guide you to different sources. (University of Louisville Writing Center, n.d.) These have both helped me in the past find articles that I otherwise would not have found. It’s amazing what you can find in the references of another article. And don’t forget, you can always call the library at GCU for assistance. They are a great help when you need them.
