Structure of your assignment
The required length of this assignment is 3000 words (+/- 10%), excluding references. A
penalty will be applied if the word count falls below or exceeds this limit in accordance
with standard university procedures. No special adjustments on words counts will be made
for figures, tables, or flow charts. The word count will be adjudicated using Microsoft
Word. Guidance on Assignment Structure
1. INTRODUCTION
You must outline your question and the aims of your literature search. This section needs
to set the scene of your topic by including relevant background information surrounding
key concepts of your topic. In your introduction, you will give definitions and provide
sufficient information for the reader to understand your topic and what you will be
searching for in the literature. Your introduction should be structured in a way so that a
reader understands exactly what your literature search will focus on.
2. METHODOLOGY
In this section, you need to clearly explain your search strategy. Everything you do to
identify selected articles for discussion must be clearly stated in this section. This includes
outlining which key words were used, which databases were searched, when the
databases were searched and any search criteria/filters that were applied. If a reader was
to screen your methodology, they should arrive at the same articles as you did if you
outlined your processes effectively.
You must also include details of your inclusion/exclusion criteria that you apply when
screening each article.
You must also include a PRISMA flow diagram outlining your process of selecting articles
and at what stages you applied your inclusion/exclusion criteria.
To support you with your methodology and identification of suitable articles, please
refer to the Rapid Review lecture and the online recording provided by the library
services team.
3. RESULTS & CRITICAL APPRAISAL
You must present your literature findings to the reader and therefore, the evidence for the
proposition or therapeutic intervention you have outlined in your topic. This must include
an effective critique of the identified literature with associated interpretation and link back
to your topic. You will be expected to analyse your selected articles for the strengths and
weaknesses of their conclusions based upon the quality and appropriateness of their
studies.
It will be beneficial to create a “summary table" of your literature findings which outlines
some key information relating to each article included.
4. DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION
You will need to finish your report by summarizing your findings and explaining relevance
into practice/science. You will need to make clear concluding statements as to whether your literature findings have a clear outcome and ensure that your conclusion directly
relates back to your topic.
5. REFERENCES
Full in text citations are essential in addition to a full, accompanying bibliography. Either
Harvard or Vancouver referencing style will be permitted. This will not form aprt of your
word count.
Oral Viva
In addition
addition to the written work you will submit, you will be asked to present yourself for
an oral discussion with your tutor, probably after the Easter break. The conversation will
be related to the dissertation that you have submitted and can be expected to last
approximately 20 minutes. The exact dates and times that you must attend this meeting
will be announced later in the term.
The assignment comprises 30% of the available marks for PHA223. Within this 30%, 90%
of the marks are attributed to the written work and 10% of the available marks are
available via the oral defence. As the member of staff you will be holding your discussion
with will want to read your written report before talking to you, it is imperative that you
hand in your work by the deadline as stated above. Failure to hand in your work on time
will therefore also have a negative impact on your ability to perform well in the oral
discussion component of this assignment as well as the written component.
Any problems or questions, please contact Alex
To support you in the development of your review, I have created a very brief checklist of
the key components I expect your review to contain (please see next page).

Title clearly stated.
Outline definitions and key concepts relating to your topic.
State the aim of the review
(chart) Draw
Specify all databases, search engines (and all other sources) used to
identify your articles. Date ranges of searches should be included.
Clearly state the inclusion and exclusion criteria used to select your
articles
State all filters applied during your literature searches
State how you decided whether a study met inclusion criteria and
how you screened each article to determine this.
Provide details of outcomes for which data was sought (for example:
article types, participant characteristics, intended outcomes)
Provide details on how you reduced risk of bias within your own
searches
Outline how you will document your findings
Include the PRISMA flow diagram
Brief summary of each article identified for inclusion (optional)
Critically appraise the findings from each article and integrate
findings into core themes. Ensure that all interpretations are linked
and discussed in relation to your research topic.
Strengths and weaknesses of the articles should be highlighted and
discussed to provide context into your discussion.
Assessment of bias within your articles should also be included.
Where necessary,
discussions of statistical significance should also
be made.
Discuss the findings in relation to what is already known about your
topic. Do they support what is already known, do they add new
information, or do they disagree with previously outlined facts?
General overview of findings and implications linked to your topic.
Ensure this is clear, concise, and not a repetition of previously
discussed findings.
Outline whether any future research is required as a result of your
findings or if there is a clear conclusion from your gathered
information.
