Draft Paper 4: For this week’s assignment you are to submit 6-8 page paper on the Methods and Results or Clinical or Case Application section of your paper. Length of assignment should not exceed 8 pages. This section is the heart of your paper. It is your contribution to the body of literature in the field. The type of paper you are writing will determine what information will go into this section of your paper. However, unless you are using actual data, most likely you will be providing a theoretical/empirical application of an approach, a case example, a set of guidelines distilled from the literature or a literature review, which is different from your review of literature in your last section. Below you will find articles that illustrate these different types of articles.
