To complete your work for this week, identify at least three family therapy journals, and then request what are called “content alerts.” Content alerts are essentially emails from a journal’s publisher that include a list of the articles published in the current issue of that journal. Having these alerts will help you to stay up-to-date on clinically relevant research. For this course, you will need to focus on empirically-based articles. As you learned in Week 1, empirically-based articles are those that report the results of a study and are reporting on that original research. Look for articles that have participants, methods, results/outcomes, and discussions about the results. To request these alerts, go to the publisher’s website for a particular journal. On the journal’s website, you will see the journal’s information, including the editor and the various issues published to date. You will also see a place that reads, “get new content alerts” or “sign-up for email alerts.” Many of the publishers will ask that you create an account with them to request the alert. Simply follow the instructions to do this and then use that account to request the email alerts. Important: Please note that you should not be required to pay for any email alert. If you see an article that you are interested in reading within the email alert, search for that article using the NCU library. You can use the library to gain access to the full content of these journals. Once you have registered for at least three content alerts, submit a list of the journals you requested alerts from. Include a link to the journal’s homepage for each listed. Length: 1 page References: 3 journal names and links The completed assignment should address all of the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations and current APA standards, and adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy. |
