...Developing Countries By: Ashida Mohamed Ibrahim GM04455 Article review Citation Joanna Trautsolt and Jesper Johnson (2012). International anti-money laundering regulation of alternative remittance systems why the current approach does not work in developing countries. Journal of Money Laundering Control, Volume 15, No 4 (2012) 407-420. Introduction The article was written by Ms Joanna Trautsolt and Mr. Jesper Johnson from School of Oriental and African Studies, London and Chr. Michelsen Institute, Bergen, Norway, respectively. The authors conducted comparative case study analysis on the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) recommendations in regulating Alternative Remittance Systems (ARS) in Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates. Based on the article, the results indicated that FATF’s recommendation to regulate informal remittance systems is ineffective in developing countries. I took note of the authors indication that researches conducted on related issues was minimal, coupled with the inherent limitations in the current regulatory approach. Overall, I was of the opinion that the article was very informative and easy to be read. However, some enhancements could be made in several areas: i. In introduction part and in explaining their arguments, the authors were noted to use quotation of others researches, as well as sources of information directly. Readers would appreciate the article more if the authors assessments and comments on any particular issues...

...n academic publishing, a paper is an academic work that is usually published in an academic journal. It contains original research results or reviews existing results. Such a paper, also called an article, will only be considered valid if it undergoes a process of peer review by one or more referees (who are academics in the same field) who check that the content of the paper is suitable for publication in the journal. A paper may undergo a series of reviews, revisions and re-submissions before finally being accepted or rejected for publication. This process typically takes several months. Next there is often a delay of many months (or in some subjects, over a year) before an accepted manuscript appears. This is particularly true for the most popular journals where the number of accepted articles often outnumbers the space for printing. Due to this, many academics self-archive a 'pre-print' copy of their paper for free download from their personal or institutional website. Some journals, particularly newer ones, are now published in electronic form only. Paper journals are now generally made available in electronic form as well, both to individual subscribers, and to libraries. Almost always these electronic versions are available to subscribers immediately upon publication of the paper version, or even before; sometimes they are also made available to non-subscribers, either immediately (by open access journals) or after an embargo of anywhere from two to twenty-four months...

...Guidelines for Submitting Papers Papers and articles in Library and Information Studies generally follow the social sciences paradigm. Most papers follow a format like the one outlined here. In graduate school, term-papers are usually about ten pages in length, and should be "publishable" with only minor grammatical changes. Grammar counts. Spelling matters. Do not rely upon automated spelling checkers. It often helps to have a colleague proof read your work. Identification Provide the name of the article, your name and contact information (e.g. your UB Email address). If the paper is for a class, provide the class name and number, the semester and year, and the name of the instructor. Check the SI Web site to make sure you have listed them correctly. You may not present the same essay in two different UB courses without the prior consent of both instructors. If you are writing for a journal, you may not submit the same manuscript to two different publishers at once. However, it is common practice to turn a conference presentation into a journal article. If you do that, be sure to mention that the current paper was previously presented in a modified form, and provide the details. If the paper was made possible by a grant, or with the help of some entity, provide the details. Abstract and Keywords (Required only if you are submitting a manuscript for publication). An abstract is a one or two paragraph summary of the article. A few keywords, (or key phrases), should be provided...

...Corporate Reputation Review Volume 12 Number 4 A Systematic Review of the Corporate Reputation Literature: Definition, Measurement, and Theory Kent Walker Asper School of Business, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada ABSTRACT A systematic review of the corporate reputation literature is conducted. The final sample of 54 articles (and one book) consists of well-cited papers, and papers in journals that have published high quality work in corporate reputation. The sample is then analyzed and the three fundamental problems in the reputation literature are addressed – the need for a comprehensive and well-accepted definition, the difficulty in operationalizing corporate reputation, and the ongoing need for more developed theory. Two main findings evolve from this analysis: (1) reputation may have different dimensions and is issue specific, and (2) different stakeholder groups may have different perceptions of corporate reputations. The implications for future research are discussed. Corporate Reputation Review (2010) 12, 357–387. doi:10.1057/crr.2009.26 KEYWORDS: corporate reputation; definition; operationalization; organizational identity; organizational image; systematic review INTRODUCTION There are many reasons why organizations and researchers should care about corporate reputation. The relationship between reputation and a sustained competitive advantage is widely acknowledged in the literature (eg, Fombrun and Shanley, 1990; Fombrun, 1996;...

A. “The Case for diversity in the health care workforce” 1. How Closely is the literature reviewed in the study related to the previous literature?

The first half of the paper was used to set the contextual parameters of the study and to explain the basic epidemiology and rationale for the study. The second part of the paper was more closely aligned with previous literature reviewed. The information dealt directly with the research topic and the supporting literature and referenced articles dealt exclusively with the topic at hand. 2. Is the review recent? Are there any outstanding references you know about that were left out? I would consider this review to be relatively recent. The data contained in this research paper and the related referenced articles date back to 2002 and the article was published in 2003. Typically published...

...NAME INSTITUTION Instructor Date REFLECTING ON PRACTICE: using learning journals in higher and continuing education. Introduction. The article by A.M Langer (2000) explores the effectiveness of applying study journals in enhancing students understanding of technical courses. The author acknowledges existence of other scholarly documents evaluating the influence of journals in improving students understanding of applied courses such as mathematics and physics. He builds on the existing literature to establish a theoretical background of the study in the literature review. The literature review also identifies the knowledge gap that the study carried out by Langer seeks to fill. Langer argues that there is a significant lack of literature exploring the use of journals in enhancing the study of technical courses by nontraditional students (Langer 2000). He carries out a research to establish the effect of using scholar journals by nontraditional students undertaking computer technology classes in the University of Columbia. The scope of the study covers a population of ten students. According to the article, the sampling technique is unbiased as it has equity in gender and utilizes a random sampling method that entails selection of every tenth student in alphephetical order as per the last name. The selected group was required to submit journals to the group of researchers. The researchers sort to meet discrete objectives defined by the study. The objectives included evaluation...
