•  Finally we read the first paragraph or so Here we are looking for the  research-

ers to make

 their

 case for the imp ortance of the

  research

If we cannot find a

case  after reading  a few  sentences  or paragrap hs then  we have reason   to be

concerned about

 th e

 valué

 and

 clarity

 of the

  article.

After

  we

 have looked

  at

 these three  pieces

we

  should have

  a

  good idea about

  the

article.  Do we want to   read  it?  Could it be importan t for our own work? If we decide

th e

  article

  is

 worth reading then

 w e

 need

 t o

 learn

 how to

 address

  its

 m eat—its main

points and findings. As we move through   the  next five chapters we will be  looking

at each  major p art of the article as we find it.

  ractice

 Makes

  erfect

It   is now   t ime  to   prac t ice some  of the  insights   an d

  skil ls

  yo u   have explored  in

  this

chapter:

  First

 of

 all there

 are

  four t raining ar t ic les

 and

 four real ar t ic les whose abst racts

have not been

 coded.

 Try your

 hand

 at coding  these abstracts.

 Compare your

results with

  those of your classmates.

•  Take a look at the three to four ar t ic les you

 had

  gathered previously. Now  tha t

you  have  looked at  their titles and

 openings

take some t ime  and

 code

  their

abstracts  as  well.

 Given

  that you un derstand their content áreas does   this  help

you code their abstracts as well? Share your

  results

  wi th your

  c lassmates.

• Finally try your hand at

 writing

 an

 abstract yo urself.

  Try to use all of the

 coding

catego r ies as you créate your abstract and try to keep ¡ t under 125 words.

Yo u   can m ake up any kind  of study you l ike. When  you are done share your

results

  wi th your c lassmates.
