  1. Full article: Theories and Models: What They Are, What They ...

    Here, I aim to integrate some of the core points and criticism raised, and provide a brief primer on theory formation, structured into three sections: (1) what are theories; (2) what are theories for; (3) and what are theories about. This is followed by a section dedicated to the question (4) how to develop theories.

  2. Identifying and selecting implementation theories, models and ...

    To inform tool development, this study aimed to explore barriers and facilitators to identifying and selecting implementation theories, models and frameworks in research and practice, as well as end-user preferences for features and functions of the proposed tool.

  3. Original research: Evidence-based practice models and ...

    This foundational medical model provided a concise overview of the process of EBP. The five steps are (1) asking the question, (2) acquiring the best evidence, (3) appraising the evidence, (4) applying the findings to clinical practice and (5) evaluating the outcomes of change.

  4. A practice‐based model to guide nursing science and improve ...

    The purpose of this paper is to describe a model to guide nursing science in a clinical practice‐based setting. Exemplars are provided to highlight the application of this nursing research model, which can be applied to other clinical settings that aim to fill evidence gaps in the literature.

  5. The Implementation Research Logic Model: a method for ...

    This article describes the development and application of the Implementation Research Logic Model (IRLM). The IRLM can be used with various types of implementation studies and at various stages of research, from planning and executing to reporting and synthesizing implementation studies.

  6. Conceptual Models and Theories: Developing a Research ...

    In this research series article the authors unravel the simple steps that can be followed in identifying, choosing, and applying the constructs and concepts in the models or theories to develop a research framework.

  7. Researching and Developing Models, Theories and Approaches ...

    1 Introduction. Creating a model, theory or approach for design and development is a form of design and a form of research. The researcher—who is also a modeller—will investigate and learn about the target situation.

  8. Business Model Research: Past, Present, and Future

    Business model research has thrived at the intersection of strategy, innovation management, and entrepreneurship studies.

  9. Full article: Statistical modeling methods: challenges and ...

    In this article, model validity is first described and methods designed for assessing model fit, specification, and selection are reviewed. Second, data transformations that improve the model’s ability to represent the DGP are addressed. Third, model search and validation methods are discussed.

  10. Modeling in the Classroom: Making Relationships and Systems ...

    Scientists model in order to visualize and organize their thinking, to distill complex ideas into simpler representations that can be shared with and evaluated by peers or communicated to others, to test hypotheses, and identify gaps in our understanding.
