EACH PAPER MUST:
Keep in mind that your paper should not be a series of quotes. You need to put the information into your own words.
GRADING
Choose the grade you wish by keeping in mind the following point system that will be used to grade your paper:
YOUR PAPER MUST INCLUDE:
REFERENCES
The paper should be referenced in the Vancouver Style. This is the format utilized in medical literature. On pages 9-15 of the course outline are examples of how to reference specific types of resources. Please pay special attention to capital and lowercase letters and punctuation. For more information about referencing in this manner, and more specific examples, go to https://guides.library.uq.edu.au/referencing/vancouver
Or http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/uniform_requirements.html
I am available until Friday, Nov 9th if you need assistance with your papers. I will read critique and correct your drafts, AFTER you have gone to the writing center. After Nov. 9th, I will not review papers even during scheduled office hours. I will provide assistance with references. This can be accomplished in small groups of individually. If you wish to work in a small group, one person needs to bring their paper and their resources so that we are utilizing real life examples. DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!!!
The Most Frequently Asked Question About References – What should I reference?
HINTS
|
References |
|
|
References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in text, tables, and legends by Arabic numerals in parentheses. References cited only in tables or figure legends should be numbered in accordance with the sequence established by the first identification in the text of the particular table or figure. |
|
|
Use the style of the examples below, which are based on the formats used by the NLM in Index Medicus. The titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the style used in Index Medicus. Consult the List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus, published annually as a separate publication by the library and as a list in the January issue of Index Medicus. The list can also be obtained through the library's web site (http://www.nlm.nih.gov). |
|
|
Avoid using abstracts as references. References to papers accepted but not yet published should be designated as "in press" or "forthcoming"; authors should obtain written permission to cite such papers as well as verification that they have been accepted for publication. Information from manuscripts submitted but not accepted should be cited in the text as "unpublished observations" with written permission from the source. |
|
|
Avoid citing a "personal communication" unless it provides essential information not available from a public source, in which case the name of the person and date of communication should be cited in parentheses in the text. For scientific articles, authors should obtain written permission and confirmation of accuracy from the source of a personal communication. |
|
|
The references must be verified by the author(s) against the original documents. The Uniform Requirements style (the Vancouver style) is based largely on an ANSI standard style adapted by the NLM for its databases. Notes have been added where Vancouver style differs from the style now used by NLM.
|
|
|
Articles in journals |
|
|
1. Standard journal article |
|
|
|
List the first six authors followed by et al. (Note: NLM now lists up through 25 authors; if there are more than 25 authors, NLM lists the first 24, then the last author, then et al.) |
|
example |
Vega KJ, Pina I, Krevsky B. Heart transplantation is associated with an increased risk for pancreatobiliary disease. Ann Intern Med 1996 Jun 1;124 (11):980-3. |
|
|
As an option, if a journal carries continuous pagination throughout a volume (as many medical journals do) the month and issue number may be omitted. (Note: For consistency, the option is used throughout the examples in Uniform Requirements. NLM does not use the option.) |

RSP 274 Abstract Assignment
Abstract Guidelines
You must choose two research studies from a refereed medical journal of your choice. (Advance and AARTimes are not considered medical journals but Respiratory Care is.) One research study must cover adult mechanical ventilation in critical care and one study must utilize PFTs in the data collection. Meta analysis articles and review articles do not meet the guidelines of this assignment, so please do not pick them. Students may not choose to review the same article. No pediatric/neonatal MAV articles will be accepted.
The studies must have been published within the last 5 years and be at least 4 pages long, not including the reference pages. If you choose an on-line article, look at the information as to where it was originally published. It will indicate the number of pages. Remember computer pages are not the same as journal pages! When in doubt, ask me.
Abstracts must be approved no later than Oct 20th. The article’s title and where published and the date it was published must be clearly written along with your name on the appropriate “accepted” paper to avoid duplication of articles by students. It is YOUR responsibility to review the list to ensure that the article has not already been chosen.
In order to receive credit for the abstracts, they must:
Keep in mind that an abstract is a brief synopsis of what was covered within the article. Key points/conclusions should be noted. It should not be longer than a page and a half. (HINT - Do not copy the abstract that accompanies the article. This is plagiarism. If you just paraphrase the abstract that is plagiarism too.)
Choose the grade you wish by keeping in mind the following point system that will be used to grade your abstracts. The abstract grades will be averaged together:
-100 points if plagiarized or if work is not your own. (See the course outline pages 3-4 under Academic Integrity for additional information.)
I am available until Nov 3rd if you need assistance with your abstracts. I will read critique and correct your drafts, AFTER you have gone to the writing center. After Nov. 3rd, I will not review abstracts even during scheduled office hours. DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!!!
Examples of abstracts can be found at the beginning of any journal article found in Respiratory Care. Read several from research articles you will not be using to see a variety of potential abstract formats. Choose the format that is easiest for you. I am not requiring a specific format.
RSP 121 Research Paper
The paper must be typed and be 3 - 5 pages in length. Students will choose one pulmonary disease and discuss etiology, pathophysiology, signs/symptoms and current treatment. The paper must relate normal pulmonary anatomy and physiology to the disease state. The emphasis of the paper should be the comparison and contrasting of normal anatomy & physiology of the lung and the diseased lung. The paper will be graded on accuracy, completeness, grammar and syntax
RSP 282 Assignemnt
POWERPOINT PRESENTATION GUIDELINES
1. This is a group project. On the first day of class students will be randomly assigned groups to a group of 2-3 members.
2. Choose a topic by Feb 14th.
The topic must be pertaining to respiratory care. The topic may be an area that was not covered in any RC class or an area that you wish to expand your knowledge. (If you choose the latter option, be aware that you must really expand the topic.)
Your group is to research the topic in medical journals, current medical/RC textbooks, or other appropriate areas. Most information should NOT come from a web site.
3. Only one topic per group and topics will be available on a first come first chosen basis. The instructor must approve topics.
4. Students will research their topic and create a power point presentation and present their topic to the class and honored guests. Each person in the group must speak during the presentation. The presentation must include objectives, statistics, pictures, information, references in the Vancouver style and a 5-question quiz based on the objectives. The presentation should be 15 minutes long and not greater than 20 minutes.
5. The presentation is due on April 25th at 12:30 pm. If the presentation is not handed in and presented, there is no opportunity for a make up and the group will receive a zero for the project.
6. The target audience for your presentation is health care professionals who may not be familiar with our respiratory terminology.
7. Your PowerPoint presentation must be your own. If the group uses a presentation from a manufacturer or from another source, that is not originally their own; the presentation will earn a “0”. This will be considered plagiarism.
8. The instructor, using the forms on page 9-10 will grade the presentations. Your classmates will give you feedback using the same forms.
9. A handout must be provided and it must be typed. You may chose one of the following options for your handout:
10. The Most Frequently Asked Question About References – What should I reference?
• Direct quotes
• Statistics
• Another author, researcher’s research
• Tables or graphs taken from somewhere other than your own personal research or imagination
• Pictures or photos, other than ones you personally took
• Information someone might want to investigate further (i.e. books published, other articles published, other research that supports your topic…)
• Pictures, statistics, etc. on your presentations or on your handouts
