The Role of Vaccination in Combating Global Infectious Diseases: A Scholarly Review
Search and Evaluate
This week, you will find three scholarly, peer-reviewed research articles on your topic. These sources will serve as the foundation for a well-informed analysis of vaccination’s role in controlling infectious diseases. Remember that next week, you will submit a paper on the Scientific and/or Mathematical/Analytical perspectives of inquiry, so use this week’s assignment to prepare materials and collect information for that purpose. Gathering reliable data now will enhance the depth and accuracy of your analysis.
Use articles that will help you explain and describe scientific issues and/or statistical data or economic information related to your topic. Selecting studies with empirical evidence will strengthen your argument and provide factual support for your claims. You will analyze and evaluate these articles in your submission, which should include:
A brief introductory paragraph that outlines the importance of vaccination in global health.
Three separate paragraphs, one for each of the three articles, each presenting:
A brief 3–4 sentence summary of the article (use in-text citations). Adding relevant data points or case studies from the articles will enhance credibility.
An explanation as to what makes this source credible (in the WCU Library go to Research Guides > Research Basics > Evaluating Resources). Understanding the authors’ credentials and peer-review status will further justify its reliability.
An explanation of why the article will be useful in addressing your problem or issue. Discussing how the findings align with global vaccination challenges will add depth.
A brief conclusory paragraph that reinforces the significance of the selected studies.
An APA Style reference list on a separate page, ensuring proper attribution of sources.
Your paper should be 1–3 pages in length (including the References page). A well-structured analysis will ensure clarity and coherence in your argument. Adhere to APA Style throughout, maintaining consistency in citations and formatting.
Review the rubric for further information on how your assignment will be graded. Careful attention to the grading criteria will help maximize your score and improve your analytical approach.
