1. WHAT ARE SOME HELPFUL IDEAS YOU CAN DO TO HELP YOU FIGURE OUT IF THE FIRST IDEA FOR YOUR RESEARCH STUDY IS THE BEST ONE?

• Check if there is enough information about your topic.

• See if the research study has not been done before.

• Your research topic needs to be a new one.

• Measure the difficulty of research.

• Learn more about it.

2. GO TO YOUR LIBRARY AND FIND 3 JOURNALS IN YOUR FIELD OF STUDY AND EXAMINE THEM TO DETERMINE:

A) WHAT TYPE OF ARTICLES ARE PUBLISHED ( REVIEWS OF LITERATURE, EMPIRICAL STUDIES, ETC).

1. The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine: Studies and also everything about new discovers of the medicine. It covers various fields of medicine which enables researchers of different specialties to keep track with others researches in different fields which allows them to broaden the extent of their research.

2. Journal of Cancer Research Clinical Oncology: They publish studies mainly about cancer, and also about the causes and the factors that can produce cancer. Publishes significant and update articles within the fields of experimental and clinical oncology

3. Alternative Medicine Review: Studies, researches, experiments, everything about the world of medicine. They publish the truth about medical phenomena by sharing information on the practical use of alternative and complementary medicine.

B) WHETHER THE JOURNAL IS PUBLISHED BY A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION ( SUCH AS THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION OR BY A PRIVAGTE GROUP SUCH AS SAGE PRESS)

1. The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine: EBSCO (Canada)-University of Saskatchewan

2. Journal of Cancer Research Clinical Oncology: Official Journal of the German Cancer Society (Deutsche Krebsgesellschaft)

3. Alternative Medicine Review: SCImago Journal & Country Rank and in the category of integrative and complementary medicine by Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports.

C) THE NUMBER OF ARTICLES IN EACH JOURNAL AN IF THERE IS ANY SIMMILARITY IN THE TOPIC AREAS COVERED WITHIN EACH ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL.

1. The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine: Around more than 50 different volumes, which mainly talk about medical researchers and manuscripts of many physicians and scientists worldwide.

2. Journal of Cancer Research Clinical Oncology: 20 articles about cancer and its derivatives, and what substances increase the probability to have cancer.

3. Alternative Medicine Review: More than 30 volumes which provide accurate, timely, and clinically relevant original research articles, literature reviews, monographs, abstract, and editorials four times yearly for the practicing health care practitioner.

3. FIND TWO ABSTRACTS FROM RECENT RESEARCH JOURNALKS. OFR EACH ABSTARCT IDENTIFY:

Evaluation Of The Anti-tumor Effect Of Camellia Sinesis (CS) Extract. Biochemical And Histological Studies

A) THE PURPOSE

“The inhibitory action of Camellia sinensis (CS) extract against cancer formation has been demonstrated in different animal models involving different organ sites in many laboratories. The possible preventive activity of CS extract against cancer and its effect on liquid tumor (ascite form) or solid form is not clear.”

The purpose of this experiment is to prove if Camellia sinensis extract could cure or prevent tumors.

B) THE HYPOTHESIS

The inhibitory action of Camellia sinensis (CS) extract against cancer formation has been demonstrated in different animal models involving different organ sites in many laboratories.

C) THE TYPE OF STUDY ( E.G. CORRELATIONAL, EXPERIMENTAL, ETC.)

It is correlational because it is examining the relationships between Camellia sinensis (green tea) and tumors. Also, it is quasi-experimental because for the experiment they only used female mice.

D) THE CONCLUSION.

CS extract have a curing effect on tumor ( solid or ascite forms), progression and spread and have an ameliorating effect on different serum activity levels.
