PICOT DiscussionWhile the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research
to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone change proposal project, the
literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and
development stages of the project.A literature review analyzes how current research
supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the
evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Statement Paper and
Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop a 750-1,000 word review that includes
the following sections:Title pageIntroduction sectionA comparison of research questionsA
comparison of sample populationsA comparison of the limitations of the studyA conclusion

FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s
spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part
and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled
words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and
then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is
advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten
corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12
characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins
or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended
number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large
margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines),
increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to
increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your
professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to
follow your argument.
