A nursing researcher should know the characteristics of good research, which include drawing from other researchers, generalized to other settings. Relevant questions should be based on some logical reason (Nieswiadomy& Bailey, 2019). Understanding the characteristics of good research helps a researcher to provide valid and reliable research A crucial part of the research process is identifying and analyzing peer-reviewed research (Ganong, 2019). Peer-reviewed articles are preferred in research since they undergo strict scrutiny by various experts in a particular field before they are approved and published (Ganong,2019). Hence, researchers should know how to identify and analyze peer-reviewed articles. The rationale for the research question gives the purpose of the study to generate evidence and answer research questions related to health literacy the rationales reflect on the addition of knowledge by filling a gap in the understanding and resolution of controversies to remedy some problem. A manuscript for accuracy and assess the validity of the research methodology and procedures, if appropriate and accurate, will suggest revisions, which will make a peer-reviewed journal will not be published.
