Innovation paper: (10%). Preparation of one “innovation” (double-

spaced, 12-point font, 2.5-5 pages permissible). This is a brief

description of novel hypotheses (something not already known or

immediately obvious to researchers in health/nursing services).

Although short, the paper must be logically arranged and well-

written. You can also use this short paper as a means to developing a

more comprehensive final term paper idea.

-The first page of the paper will have an introduction that articulates

your key contribution to the literature.

– In the remaining pages, you will develop theory for 1 or 2 novel or

interesting hypotheses (you need not propose/discuss methods).

? Novel/interesting theoretical models do one of the following:

• Consensus shifting where you delineate widely held

assumptions regarding a phenomenon and go on to challenge them

or 3

• Consensus creation where you articulate an absence of

scholarly consensus regarding a phenomenon and seek to either

clarify the lines of debate or resolve the conflict (see Hollenbeck,

2008; Grant & Pollack, 2011. p. 874).
