This task will provide you with practice in locating relevant publications for your future research project.

1. Perform a literature searchfor a topic of interest to you OR, alternatively, pick one of the following suggested topics:

• Can a different technology be used to create better 3D images?

• Deoxygenation using visible light photoredox catalysis

• A theory for describing the quantum mechanics of gravity

• Can marinating chicken prior to grilling reduce carcinogens?

• Determine the mechanism by which cancer cells resist cisplatin

• Investigate why the common household mould causes asthma

• Computer-aided Discovery of Novel Influenza Endonuclease Inhibitors to Combat Flu Pandemic

• Portable elemental analysis system for heavy metal contamination detection in soil samples

• A natural herbicide useful against plants susceptible to allelopathic effects

• Genetic and Pathogenic Variation among Ascochyta rabiei (a chickpea disease).

• Genetic Diversity of Common Bean Blight Isolates from Different Geographical Areas

• Probiotic Bacteria, Isolated from Japanese Natto, Health Benefits

• Toxicity of Carbon Nanotubes in Daphnia magna

• The use of a webcam visual system for trajectory estimation

• Fighting Ascochyta Blight of Chickpea

• Moon Helium-3 - Energy That Could Be Beamed Back to the Earth

• A new method for measuring toxicity of chemicals replacing the LD50 test

2. Selecttwopeer-reviewed journal paperssourced from journals that have an impact factor verified by third-party indexing search engines;this should form part of your decision in choosing both the paper and the journal.

The two peer-reviewed journal papers shouldsatisfy the following criteria:

19. A highly cited work on your chosen topic (could be a major review paper of the topic of interest)- this paper could be more than 5 years old and represent the state of the art at the time.

19. A highly cited workthat has cited the first paperAND waspublished in the last 3 to 4 years. This paper will allow you to track the updates to the field since the original paper was written.

You may need to refine your search before finding two papers that satisfy both conditions and are useful to your research topic. Please be mindful that a highly cited paper will not necessarily be current or relevant; a bad paper may receive many citations too!

As a very rough guide, a highly-cited paper may have over 100 citations and will be cited in more recent papers, but this is discipline-dependent; good papers in engineering or mathematics tend to have fewer citations than, say, chemistry or Earth science publications.

3. Provide details of the papersusing the correct referencing style (APA 7th) - i.e. provide thefull reference.

3. Document your search and selection process.For information on this, review the library workshops in Week 3. How did you search to find the papers and determine their appropriateness (i.e., search engines used, citation number, and impact factor and/or SJR of the journal)?

3. Produce aCRAAP/REVIEWassessment of both papers. For information on this - refer to Webinar Week 4 - Joanne described it in the online lecture.You may use a table format to present this information.

Note: Your answer for Part 1 should not exceed 2 pages (page margins of 2.54 cm, single-spaced, Times New Roman 12pt font)This is Times New Roman.Set this as the font style and size at the start of your draft.

You will use Turnitin to submit this work. This will bedue by 23:59 on Sunday 2nd April2023. There will be no option for late submission without prior arrangement with the UC through the usual Assessment Extension rules.

Be professional and plan your time to be ready to submit.Do not wait until 23:58, because your submission will fail to upload once the deadline time has passed.
