2. Using this same study by Martsolf et al., compose a short paragraph critiquing the literature review (background literature) of this manuscript. Specifically, address the following in your critique:
Did the literature review contain adequate information to support that the study was needed? Were the majority of references current at the time of publication (2015)? If not, why might older studies have been included? Is the literature review too short, too long, or just the right length (please justify your answer)? Was the literature presented in a coherent manner – why or why not?
3. The significance of a study is very important – being able to articulate why a study needs to be done is essential. Did the authors Martsolf et al. (2015) make an adequate case for why they conducted this research – why or why not?
4. What is a Landmark study and how would you identify a study as such? Would the study by Martsolf et al. (2015) meet the criteria for a Landmark study – why or why not?
