ANSWER

**Question 1:**
Scholarly Article Excerpt:
“In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the impact of climate change on agricultural practices. Researchers have found that rising temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns pose significant challenges to crop production. This has led to an urgent need for adaptive strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change on agriculture” (Smith & Johnson, 2022, p. 45).

Paraphrase:
According to Smith and Johnson (2022), there is a rising concern regarding the influence of climate change on farming methods. They argue that the changes in temperature and rainfall patterns present substantial difficulties for crop cultivation. Consequently, there is an immediate requirement for adaptive measures to alleviate the repercussions of climate change on agriculture.

**Question 2:**
It is crucial to critically analyze sources because it ensures the reliability and credibility of the information used in research. Critical analysis allows researchers to evaluate whether the sources are based on sound research methods, accurate data, and unbiased perspectives. Scholarly sources are more appropriate for academic research because they undergo a rigorous peer-review process, ensuring their quality, accuracy, and relevance to the research topic. Scholarly sources are authored by experts in the field, providing a higher level of expertise and authority. Additionally, they include proper citations and references, which allows researchers to trace the origin of information and verify its accuracy.

**Question 3:**
Graduate-level research differs from undergraduate research in terms of depth, complexity, and the expectation of originality. At the graduate level, research is expected to contribute to the existing body of knowledge in the field. This means that research questions are more focused, and the methodology employed is often more sophisticated. Graduate research also involves a higher level of critical analysis and synthesis of existing literature.

To ensure that assignments do not unintentionally result in a high similarity score from LopesWrite, students should carefully paraphrase and cite sources correctly. It’s essential to use your words to explain and analyze the information rather than relying heavily on direct quotations. When directly quoting, use quotation marks and provide proper citations. Additionally, always use a reference management tool to keep track of your sources and citations to ensure accurate and consistent referencing throughout your assignments. Reviewing and revising your work before submission can also help identify and rectify unintentional plagiarism issues.

Revise the paper according to the instruction and add three peer reviews in the last paragraph.
General Instructions
The research report continues the registered report, i.e, adding to the existing document. Change all wording in the registered report to past tense, and make revisions to the registered report based on feedback from the TA/IA. You can earn back up to 5 points lost by revising the registered report sections of the research report. The final submission should include the following sections:
Title page
Abstract (1 paragraph on a separate page)
Introduction
Method
Results
Discussion
References
Title Page
The running head is a shortened version of your title, in all caps, in the header. It should be no more than 50 characters including spaces and punctuation.
Insert the page number in the top right, also in the header.
Two double spaces down from the header, type your full title, centered, in bold.
Another two doubles spaced down, type your name (first name, middle initial if you have one, and last name).
Below that, type your affiliation/organization.
Abstract
On the first page after the title page, include the heading ‘Abstract’ in bold, centered at the top of the page.
Write a summary of your entire paper in one paragraph, with no indentation. It should be at least four sentences and include:
– What you did, i.e., you replicated a study
– How you did it, i.e., 1–3 sentences of your method
– What you found, i.e., results without statistical notation
– A sentence about the overall implication or general conclusion about the results
– Abstracts do not include citations (though citing the study you replicated is an exception). Also, you may wish to read a few APA research report abstracts to give you an idea of how these are worded.
Introduction
On a new page, include the full title of your paper again, centered at the top, in bold. Below, paste your introduction, but don’t include the subheading ‘Introduction’. Then paste your Method, Results, and Discussion—and these do not need to be on new pages. Paste them immediately after the Introduction. These headings should be centered, in bold.
Method
Include the heading ‘Method’ in bold, centered, and the subheadings ‘Participants’ and ‘Procedure’ in bold, left-aligned from the registered report. Update the participants number, age (mean and standard deviation), gender, and ethnicity numbers.
Results
Include the heading ‘Results’ in bold, centered and report the results for normality, homogeneity, two main effects, interaction, and effect sizes where relevant.
Include a table in APA format of descriptive statistics (i.e., means and standard deviations) of the four groups.
The table should be preceded with ‘Table 1’ in bold, left-aligned, and then with an italicized title below, left-aligned. Double-space the content of the table, do not include any vertical borders, and italicize statistical notation. Use the following guide: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/a…
You must present SPSS output to me or a TA to earn points for the results section!
Discussion
Repeat the results but do not include statistical notation.
State whether predictions were confirmed.
Note if results were consistent or inconsistent with prior studies with citation(s), and discuss why.
Described the limitation(s) of the study and the suggestion(s) for future research.
Conclude with a paragraph about the implication or general conclusion of the study. This paragraph states why the topic is important, or why it is of interest for theoretical or applied purposes. Read a few APA research reports to a sense of such paragraphs.
Include at least two new peer-reviewed sources. Reuse sources from the introduction when relevant, but two new sources are needed.
References
On a separate page, include the heading ‘References’ in bold, centered. Then list your sources.
APA Format and Language
Use APA 7th ed. format throughout. The following can assist:

Proofread before submission. Avoid losing points for language errors by ensuring the writing is:
• Clear, i.e., easy to understand with adequate explanations and logical transitions
• Concise, i.e., free of unnecessary words, phrases, sentences, and redundancy
• Correct in spelling, punctuation, and grammar
• Formal, i.e., free of contractions and unclear slang and so forth

Many college students study by simply repeating their notes over and over (rote rehearsal). Although this method is good for processing data into STM there are other means to effectively move material into LTM. Make sure to read the How To Study Effectively section in Chapter 8. Now, in one to two paragraphs discuss how you currently prepare for exams and how you might incorporate 4 additional techniques that are discussed in the text into your studying behavior. Make sure to cite your text appropriately.
