Stephens J. D, Yager, A. M, & Allen J. (2017). Smartphone technology and text messaging for weight loss in young adults : A randomized controlled trial. Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 

1. What was the research problem? Was the problem statement easy to locate and was it clearly stated? Did the problem statement build a cogent and persuasive argument for the new study?

2. Does the problem have significance for nursing?

Was there a good fit between the research problem and the paradigm (and tradition) within which the research was conducted?

3. Did the report formally present a statement of purpose, research question, and/or hypotheses? Was this information communicated clearly and concisely, and was it placed in a logical and useful location?

4. Were purpose statements or research questions worded appropriately (e.g., Were key concepts/variables identified and the population specified?)

5. If there were no formal hypotheses, was their absence justified? Were statistical tests used in analyzing the data despite the absence of stated hypotheses?

6. Were hypotheses (if any) properly worded—did they state a predicted relationship between two or more variables? Were they presented as research or as null hypotheses?
