PREPARING THE PAPER
Consult your faculty member if you are uncertain about whether your article is a true SRR. If it is not, your grade will be affected because you will not be able to address all of the above objectives.
Important: Submit a copy of the systematic research review that you are critiquing as a separate document before submitting your paper. This will help Turnitin from returning a high similarity percentage on your written work. Remember to keep Turnitin similarity to 24% or less or you will be deducted points on APA.
