**Purpose**
The Synthesis Matrix Table provides you with the ability to start organizing the literature you have located through your search for resources.
**Directions**
For graduate scholarship projects, where you have located the best/evidence-based practices appropriate to apply to your identified problem, the literature listed should primarily focus on filtered evidence such as reviews; for example, Cochrane, Joanna Briggs Institute, scoping, systematic, integrated, meta-analysis/meta-synthesis, simple literature, clinical practice recommendations, and guidelines.
If, in your exploration of the literature, you find a dearth of information about best or evidence-based practices that are appropriate to apply to your identified problem, your project will be developed as an innovation. In this case, your sources will likely be expert opinion or reports of other innovative approaches.
In your Unit 2 assignment, "
**Aim Statement and Informing Framework**," you drafted a Problem Statement, an Aim Statement, and provided an overview of your Framework.
You are required to use the template provided to complete the assignment. Be sure to read the assignment instructions contained within the template to ensure you are including the correct articles/resources
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
**The assignment requires you to upload a PDF file of the full-text article for all of your resources for your faculty to review.**
