Example ARP blog

Here I would put my bibliography. I would alphabeticise it and I would check my Harvard referencing against CiteThemRIght.

I would add to it as I read new things. 

I would absolutely not leave it until the last minute and forget what I had read and where I had found it. No.

I would add in any draft presentations I did for class exercises or tutorials. And at the end, just before I give my final assessed presentation, I would add my Final Presentation slides here. I would be clear in my file naming so the tutors/examiners know which is the final presentation.

Here I would upload and link to any participant-facing documents, like information sheets and consent forms.

Information sheet v1

Consent form v1

As with the Ethics form, I would include brief notes around feedback received and amendments made.

I would upload my Ethics form to my blog’s media folder by clicking on the ‘+ Add New…’ on the top bar and selecting ‘Media’ from the menu. I would then copy the URL to the clipboard, start a post on Ethics, and link to the form here:

Ethics form v1

I would write some brief notes about the feedback I received on my Ethics form and how I responded to it.

If I had submitted further iterations of the form, I would upload and link to them in the same way and link to them by going back into my Ethics post:

Ethics form v2

This is where I might write about any primary research I have been doing. E.g., if I was going to interview someone and have written a list of questions, I would add the ‘interview schedule’ (that’s what you call the list of questions!) here. I may add comments on what I have been reading about Research Methods to evidence that also. 

One thing I would NOT do, is include any raw data that has participant information on it, or anything I did not get informed consent to share. That would be unethical. I would keep that elsewhere (private) and I may write about the findings from it on this page, but I definitely would not paste it up in raw unedited form. 

I would keep my up-to-date plan or task list here. This could be in a simple list, or as a link to a Gantt chart or other timeline.

Here I would write about why I chose to look at this topic and research question. What were my personal motivations? Also I would talk about why it’s important in the context of my role / my students / my department / the institution / the discipline / the sector. Who else has written (published) about this and could you include a few quotes here to augment your own thinking?

This is a quote. You can switch to quote mode by typing ‘/’ in edit mode. It indents and italicises and includes a citation in bold. Nice!
