|February 17, 2012
Summary
This new feature encourages health sciences students to publish their dissertation research. It bridges academic work with practical applications, enhancing research visibility.
Area of Science:
- Health Information Management
- Library Science
- Academic Publishing
Background:
- Many health-related dissertations contain valuable research not widely disseminated.
- Students often lack experience or opportunities to publish their academic work.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a new publication feature, 'Dissertations into Practice,' in the Health Information and Libraries Journal.
- To encourage health sciences students to translate their dissertation findings into publishable articles.
- To facilitate the dissemination of research with practical implications for health information and library science.
Main Methods:
- Students submit extended abstracts of their health-related dissertations.
- Abstracts focus on research methods and implications for practice.
- Work is co-authored with dissertation or workplace supervisors.
Main Results:
- Provides a supportive environment for first-time publications.
- Ensures research reaches a broader audience beyond academic institutions.
- Facilitates the practical application of student research.
Conclusions:
- The 'Dissertations into Practice' feature successfully bridges the gap between academic research and professional practice.
- It empowers students to become published authors, contributing valuable insights to the health information field.
- This initiative enhances the impact and reach of student-led research.

01:31Student t Distribution
The population standard deviation is rarely known in many day-to-day examples of statistics. When the sample sizes are large, it is easy to estimate the population standard deviation using a confidence interval, which provides results close enough to the original value. However, statisticians ran into problems when the sample size was small. A small sample size caused inaccuracies in the confidence interval.

02:16Surveys
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
02:01Group Design
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...
01:09Random Sampling Method
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest. Among the various sampling methods used by...

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
