Example Please follow

Title: Joanna Briggs Institute for Evidence-Based Nursing and Midwifery

Location ( URL): www.joannabriggs.edu.au

Owner or publisher : Joanna Briggs Institute for Evidence-Based Nursing and Midwifery (JBI)

Describe (in your own words) the research database or collection of research including the purpose and the subject matter it covers :

The Joanna Briggs Institute is an international not-for-profit Research and Development Organization that provides evidence-based resources for healthcare professionals in nursing, midwifery, medicine, and allied health. Those with membership are able to obtain evidence-based practice information from systemic reviews, evaluation reports, electronic journals, best-practice information, and consumer healthcare information.

Explain how the source relates to your topic of interest :

JBI is relevant to my topic of interest because it provides reports, systemic reviews, journal articles, and best-practice information on current issues in
healthcare. Hospital re-admissions are a major issue in healthcare. The database had several resources addressing the problem of hospital re-admissions and identifying strategies for improvement

When answering this TD, the main idea is to describe the database that you found, not individual articles that are relevant to your topic.

You will also need to briefly describe your process for locating databases that contain relevant research studies. Did you have any difficulties or face any challenges?
