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<\/p>\n
geographers in Europe. The project will give you an understanding of the breadth and depth of research<\/p>\n
that geographers do, point out important issues in the region that are the subject of academic research,<\/p>\n
and give you insights on how geographers conduct research and present that research. This assignment<\/p>\n
requires you to focus on articles in peer-reviewed, scholarly journals rather than popular media. There<\/p>\n
are several things that distinguish scholarly articles from other types of writing. Firstly, these articles<\/p>\n
are peer-reviewed; meaning that they have been judged by up to four other scholars working on similar<\/p>\n
topics for their accuracy and merit before being published. Scholarly articles are also fully cited so that<\/p>\n
another researcher can prove the validity of the arguments by looking at the same sources. Thirdly,<\/p>\n
while popular media articles generally stand alone as a report on something, peer-reviewed scholarly<\/p>\n
articles represent ongoing conversations among scholars to advance our knowledge about the world \u2013 in<\/p>\n
this case, the geography of Europe.<\/p>\n
Technical Aspects: Your paper must conform to the following formatting<\/p>\n
Any paper that does not follow the technical aspects will receive a 10-point deduction in the final grade<\/p>\n
for this assignment.<\/p>\n
Article Selection Due Saturday, September 8:<\/p>\n
The first step in completing this assignment is finding an article. The article you use must comply with<\/p>\n
the overall assignment \u2013 it must be a geography article, the research must be \u201clocated\u201d in the European<\/p>\n
Region, it must be a full-length, research article (not book reviews, commentaries, op-eds, editorial,<\/p>\n
country reports, or special issue entries), and it must be from one of the peer reviewed geography journals<\/p>\n
listed below. The articles must also be published in the year 2001 or later. Only one person will be<\/p>\n
allowed to review an article, so it is a good idea to pick out a few that interests you.<\/p>\n
How to submit your articles: send the Instructor a message with a list of three articles you have picked<\/p>\n
out in order of preference \u2013 your list should consist of full citations for the articles selected (Including:<\/p>\n
author\/s last name\/s, first name\/s, year of publication, title of article, journal where it was published,<\/p>\n
volume, number, page numbers). You should also attach the PDF files for the articles to your message;<\/p>\n
it is not acceptable to submit web links of the articles of choice.<\/p>\n
If you fail to submit an appropriate article by the due date you will lose 10% of your final grade for this<\/p>\n
task, and I will assign an article to you \u2013 I can\u2019t promise it will be interesting or easy to read. A list with<\/p>\n
the assigned articles will be posted on Week # 4 of the semester.<\/p>\n
When submitting your three articles of choice, you must use the following format to cite them, and<\/p>\n
include them in the text of your message; otherwise you will lose points. Note that this is the same<\/p>\n
format that must appear in the Cover Page of your final work. The samples provided include examples<\/p>\n
of articles written by only one author, two authors, and articles written by three or more authors. As you<\/p>\n
will see, the only variations in these formats correspond to the citation of the author\/s of the article.<\/p>\n

The Analysis Paper\/Final Project Due Saturday, November 17:<\/p>\n
For the paper, you will need to follow the format given below in analyzing and summarizing the<\/p>\n
components of the research article about which you are writing. Remember that you are only using ONE<\/p>\n
article in the part of the project. In completing the following format, you will need to read each section<\/p>\n
of the article you are using very carefully, possibly more than once. Your paper should be at-least 6<\/p>\n
pages in length (not including the Cover Page), you must follow the formatting procedure listed above,<\/p>\n
and you must submit your paper through the plagiarism detection website Turnitin on Canvas by the due<\/p>\n
date (instructions for submitting it through Turnitin will be provided). Note that plagiarism will not be<\/p>\n
tolerated. If this or any other course assignment is plagiarized, you will earn an automatic failure<\/p>\n
grade in the course.<\/p>\n
Follow the format carefully. When you write your paper, divide it into clearly labeled sections using the<\/p>\n
headings below. In each section, be sure to address the questions fully. Any paper that does not<\/p>\n
include the required labels\/titles will receive a 10-point deduction in the final grade for this<\/p>\n
assignment.<\/p>\n
Source (Journal, Volume & Number), Your Name, GEA 3500, Fall 2018, Date Submitted.<\/p>\n
How does the author introduce the article (for example, do they tell a story to situate the topic,<\/p>\n
or do they discuss other research, a media report, an event)? How does the introduction frame<\/p>\n
the coming discussion and argument?<\/p>\n
III. Argument<\/p>\n
What argument(s) does the author make in the paper (for example, are they saying that some<\/p>\n
topic hasn\u2019t been studied (enough); or, are they saying that if we study some particular<\/p>\n
issue\/case it will change (or reaffirm) how we think about some conception; or, are they<\/p>\n
saying that if we bring in a different conception it will change the way we think about a<\/p>\n
particular issue\/case)?<\/p>\n
How does the author go about making the argument in the paper? What order do they present<\/p>\n
the information? How do they layout the article? What sections are in the article, and what<\/p>\n
points do they make in each one? How do the sections build up to the overall argument?<\/p>\n
In what literatures (both theoretical and topical) does the author situate their work? What<\/p>\n
works do they cite, and how do they conceive what they are citing? Note: Not every paper<\/p>\n
will have a specific section dedicated to literature review \u2013 they may be embedded in various<\/p>\n
sections of the paper.<\/p>\n
How did the author go about collecting that information (data) used to support their<\/p>\n
argument? Did they use interviews (who, with and how many), participant observation<\/p>\n
(where and how long), document analysis (historical documents, newspaper accounts, policy<\/p>\n
papers, etc.), or statistical data (gather by the author or some other entity) to name a few?<\/p>\n
How is the data presented: is it woven into the text of the article, or is it presented in some<\/p>\n
graphic form (maps, charts, graphs, photos)? How well does the data support the argument<\/p>\n
that the author is making?<\/p>\n
VII. Conclusion<\/p>\n
How does the author summarize their argument(s) one last time? Do they hint at broader<\/p>\n
implications of their work beyond the focus of this article? Do they make a call for more<\/p>\n
research in a certain area?<\/p>\n
VIII. Bibliography<\/p>\n
How many sources does the article cite and what types of sources are cited? How many of<\/p>\n
the sources are books? How many are research articles? How many are other types of<\/p>\n
documents (popular media reports \u2013 newspaper or magazine articles, government documents,<\/p>\n
planning documents, etc.)? How many are internet sources? Does the author cite Wikipedia?<\/p>\n
Important Notes:<\/p>\n
wording of the article\u2019s author(s) you should always put quotations marks around it and give the<\/p>\n
page number where it can be found. No more than 10% of your paper should be quotations. If<\/p>\n
you quote too much, you will lose points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
