Architect Daniel Libeskind is credited with saying “To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history, but to articulate it.” The suggestion is that his work does not copy the efforts of others but relies on it.

Understanding the work of others is critically important to new work. Contributions to the nursing body of knowledge can happen when you are able to analyze and articulate the efforts of previous research. Research analysis skills are therefore critical tools for your toolbox.
locate relevant existing research. You also will analyze this research using a tool helpful for analysis.

· Reflect on the strategies presented in the Resources this Module’s Learning Resources in support of locating and analyzing research.

· Use the Walden Library to identify and read one peer-reviewed research article focused on a topic in your specialty field that interests you.
