Fannin, M. 2010. Professional citizenship and medical nationalism in France. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 28: 217-238.<\/p>\n
The purpose of this assignment is to have you explore the type of scholarly research being done by
\ngeographers in Europe. The project will give you an understanding of the breadth and depth of research
\nthat geographers do, point out important issues in the region that are the subject of academic research,
\nand give you insights on how geographers conduct research and present that research. This assignment
\nrequires you to focus on articles in peer-reviewed, scholarly journals rather than popular media. There
\nare several things that distinguish scholarly articles from other types of writing. Firstly, these articles
\nare peer-reviewed; meaning that they have been judged by up to four other scholars working on similar
\ntopics for their accuracy and merit before being published. Scholarly articles are also fully cited so that
\nanother researcher can prove the validity of the arguments by looking at the same sources. Thirdly,
\nwhile popular media articles generally stand alone as a report on something, peer-reviewed scholarly
\narticles represent ongoing conversations among scholars to advance our knowledge about the world \u2013 in
\nthis case, the geography of Europe.
\nTechnical Aspects: Your paper must conform to the following formatting
\n\u2022 12-point font (Arial, Times New Roman, Garamond, or Book Antiqua),
\n\u2022 one-inch margins all around,
\n\u2022 double-spaced,
\n\u2022 numbered pages.
\nAny paper that does not follow the technical aspects will receive a 10-point deduction in the final grade
\nfor this assignment.
\nArticle Selection Due Saturday, September 8:
\nThe first step in completing this assignment is finding an article. The article you use must comply with
\nthe overall assignment \u2013 it must be a geography article, the research must be \u201clocated\u201d in the European
\nRegion, it must be a full-length, research article (not book reviews, commentaries, op-eds, editorial,
\ncountry reports, or special issue entries), and it must be from one of the peer reviewed geography journals
\nlisted below. The articles must also be published in the year 2001 or later. Only one person will be
\nallowed to review an article, so it is a good idea to pick out a few that interests you.
\nHow to submit your articles: send the Instructor a message with a list of three articles you have picked
\nout in order of preference \u2013 your list should consist of full citations for the articles selected (Including:
\nauthor\/s last name\/s, first name\/s, year of publication, title of article, journal where it was published,
\nvolume, number, page numbers). You should also attach the PDF files for the articles to your message;
\nit is not acceptable to submit web links of the articles of choice.
\nIf you fail to submit an appropriate article by the due date you will lose 10% of your final grade for this
\ntask, and I will assign an article to you \u2013 I can\u2019t promise it will be interesting or easy to read. A list with
\nthe assigned articles will be posted on Week # 4 of the semester.
\nWhen submitting your three articles of choice, you must use the following format to cite them, and
\ninclude them in the text of your message; otherwise you will lose points. Note that this is the same
\nformat that must appear in the Cover Page of your final work. The samples provided include examples
\nof articles written by only one author, two authors, and articles written by three or more authors. As you
\nwill see, the only variations in these formats correspond to the citation of the author\/s of the article.

\nThe Analysis Paper\/Final Project Due Saturday, November 17:
\nFor the paper, you will need to follow the format given below in analyzing and summarizing the
\ncomponents of the research article about which you are writing. Remember that you are only using ONE
\narticle in the part of the project. In completing the following format, you will need to read each section
\nof the article you are using very carefully, possibly more than once. Your paper should be at-least 6
\npages in length (not including the Cover Page), you must follow the formatting procedure listed above,
\nand you must submit your paper through the plagiarism detection website Turnitin on Canvas by the due
\ndate (instructions for submitting it through Turnitin will be provided). Note that plagiarism will not be
\ntolerated. If this or any other course assignment is plagiarized, you will earn an automatic failure
\ngrade in the course.
\nFollow the format carefully. When you write your paper, divide it into clearly labeled sections using the
\nheadings below. In each section, be sure to address the questions fully. Any paper that does not
\ninclude the required labels\/titles will receive a 10-point deduction in the final grade for this
\nassignment.
\nI. Cover Page: Title of the Article, Author(s) of the Article, Publication Date, Publication
\nSource (Journal, Volume & Number), Your Name, GEA 3500, Fall 2018, Date Submitted.
\nII. Introduction
\nHow does the author introduce the article (for example, do they tell a story to situate the topic,
\nor do they discuss other research, a media report, an event)? How does the introduction frame
\nthe coming discussion and argument?
\nIII. Argument
\nWhat argument(s) does the author make in the paper (for example, are they saying that some
\ntopic hasn\u2019t been studied (enough); or, are they saying that if we study some particular
\nissue\/case it will change (or reaffirm) how we think about some conception; or, are they
\nsaying that if we bring in a different conception it will change the way we think about a
\nparticular issue\/case)?
\nIV. Structure of the Paper
\nHow does the author go about making the argument in the paper? What order do they present
\nthe information? How do they layout the article? What sections are in the article, and what
\npoints do they make in each one? How do the sections build up to the overall argument?
\nV. Literatures
\nIn what literatures (both theoretical and topical) does the author situate their work? What
\nworks do they cite, and how do they conceive what they are citing? Note: Not every paper
\nwill have a specific section dedicated to literature review \u2013 they may be embedded in various
\nsections of the paper.
\nVI. Methodology
\nHow did the author go about collecting that information (data) used to support their
\nargument? Did they use interviews (who, with and how many), participant observation
\n(where and how long), document analysis (historical documents, newspaper accounts, policy
\npapers, etc.), or statistical data (gather by the author or some other entity) to name a few?
\nHow is the data presented: is it woven into the text of the article, or is it presented in some
\ngraphic form (maps, charts, graphs, photos)? How well does the data support the argument
\nthat the author is making?
\nVII. Conclusion
\nHow does the author summarize their argument(s) one last time? Do they hint at broader
\nimplications of their work beyond the focus of this article? Do they make a call for more
\nresearch in a certain area?
\nVIII. Bibliography
\nHow many sources does the article cite and what types of sources are cited? How many of
\nthe sources are books? How many are research articles? How many are other types of
\ndocuments (popular media reports \u2013 newspaper or magazine articles, government documents,
\nplanning documents, etc.)? How many are internet sources? Does the author cite Wikipedia?
\nImportant Notes:
\n\u2022 Do not plagiarize any part of this paper or you will receive a zero for this assignment.
\n\u2022 Most of your paper should summarize the article in your own words. If you wish to use the
\nwording of the article\u2019s author(s) you should always put quotations marks around it and give the
\npage number where it can be found. No more than 10% of your paper should be quotations. If
\nyou quote too much, you will lose points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
