INTRODUCTION
The current assignment will divided into three parts, first part will explain different
academic writing styles and its importance. Second part, will based one specific topic and for
which 3 qualitative and 3 quantitative articles will be taken. Furthermore, it will also justify type
of research, methods and will described finding as well as outcome, along with any weaknesses
and strength of studies. At last, in third part, it will conclude overall findings and highlight any
similarities between it as well as any kind of gaps for further investigation.
PART ONE
1) Varied academic writing styles and their importance
Academic writing is concise, structured, concise, focused and backed up by evidence.
Their main purpose is to help reader’s comprehending. There are four different forms of
academic writing accessible; critical, descriptive, persuasive and analytical. Each of these kinds
of writing styles has specific tone features and reasons. It can be said that academic writing
styles are really very essential. These serves as tool of communication that conveys obtained
knowledge in a particular field of study (Niebuhr, Brem and Tegtmeier, 2017).
Critical writing style is essential for bloggers, learners and authors, many individual
think that it means to include sarcasm & criticism in their writings.
Descriptive writing is important because it helps to describe a place, thing or person in
such a manner that a image is formed in reader’s thought. Capturing a specific thing through this
style includes paying more attention to detailed by utilizing all of five senses.
Persuasive writing is significant because it aid to motivate, inspire, convince or move
readers toward some point of view.
Along with above one, analytical writing style is also very important because it can be
use to share greater in depth into information presented in literature review, to recommend areas
for further improvement and to explain interrelation between data.

2) Search procedure using discover
Discover means finding unexpectedly or while a search procedure for specific thing. In
order to gather data about specific topic, individual to a lot of research and find out many things
which make them able to discover something quite unique. It is simple procedure, which a
person undertake to retrieve or locate particular data to meet an info need, usually but not always
with help of search tool or other data retrieval system. By discovering unexpected things, search
process easily defined, because during this procedure investigator used varied techniques and set
of tools to define, analyze and gather data of a specific subject. Some people to discover or learn
more about chosen topic conduct research or search for gathering more relevant data about it,
which need to be appropriate, and suitable.
Furthermore, search process included determining, analysing and assessing information
learner or research need to support their investigation question, and then expressing &
developing ideas. It can break down into key seven stages, which make this procedure more
organisable and easier to comprehend by learner or reader. In simple, words to discover anything
researcher undergoes to search process that play vital role in overall work.
PART TWO
1) About chosen topic
In regard to current study, childhood obesity as topic has been chosen. It is a very serious
medical condition that impact on adolescents and children (Ward and et.al., 2017). Child who is
fat is above normal weight for their height & age. It is specifically troubling because extra
pounds often being children on path to major health issues that were once considered adult
problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. It direct impact on growth
of child and affect on well being. Many obese teenagers become obese youngsters, particularly
when one or both parents are fat.
2) 3 qualitative and 3 quantitative articles
Article 1-
It is a qualitative article based on specific topic and that is childhood obesity in child aged
0 to 5 in United Kingdom. This article gives key information relate to chosen subject, it has been

found through it that most children has obesity as health issue from birth (A qualitative insight
into informal childcare and childhood obesity in children aged 0–5 years in the UK, 2018).
Research type-
It is positivistic type of research, in which different themes has been discussed in order to
provide information about topic.
Methods-
Researcher in this article has been used deductive research approach, secondary data
collection method and interpretivism as research philosophy that is quite beneficial for findings
and conclusion at the end.
Finding and results-
Findings and outcomes of this article stated that lack of emotional support from parents
and other family members can impact on child when they suffer during above medical condition.
Strength & weakness-
The strength of this article is that is provides low cost information based in interventions
to all child who receive satisfied informal care. One weakness of this piece of writing that it does
not cater any kind of suggestions that can be taken to overcome obesity in childhood.
Article 2-
This article is also based on childhood obesity topic too. It defines that National institute
for health and clinical excellence published guidance on management of obesity as serious
medical situation by primary care practitioners (Practitioners' views on managing childhood
obesity in primary care: a qualitative study, 2020).
Research type-
The existing article is kind of qualitative research that explains methods can use to
overcome childhood obesity. Under this type of investigation varied approaches had utilized by

researcher to make work more presentable. The main contribution of this study is that it helps to
known more above obesity in child and methods to overcome it.
Strength & weakness-
The strength of this article is that it describes implication for further clinical practices
used to improve childhood obesity. Weakness of this study, is that it does not interpretate theme
relate to topic.
Methods-
Interviews as approach has been used in this study, through which researcher get a lot of
knowledge about childhood obesity.
Finding and results-
From above article it has been founded that primary care is a right treatment setting for
childhood obesity. After getting data from 10 practice nurses, school nurses, 12 GPs and four
health visitors, research identity the most appropriate methods to handle above medical
condition.
Article 3-
This qualitative study is also related to childhood obesity. It provides a clear background
of research and introduction part to clearly describe topic. The best things about this article is
that is contribute to know more about childhood obesity and its consequences that direct impact
on child age (Childhood obesity: causes and consequences, 2015).
Research type-
It is positivistic type of investigation that help scholar to collect data about selected topic.
Strength & weakness-
The strength of this study is that it describes causes of and factors of childhood obesity,
which is important to known by readers. Weakness of this article is that it does not provide any
findings at the end.

Methods-
Under qualitative research, scholar can use interpretivism as research philosophy,
secondary approach as data collection method and others.
Finding and result-
Increasing problem of childhood obesity and its main causes through this study has been
identified.
Article 4-
It is based on parenting & childhood obesity topic; describe background, approaches,
outcomes and final discussion related to subject. It define that childhood obesity is global, robust
and multidisciplinary areas of inquiry. This article contributes to understand effect of this disease
on child health (Parenting and childhood obesity research: a quantitative content analysis,
2016).
Research type-
It is ant positivistic research type, which is view in social science that social realm may
not be concept to same approaches of research as natural worlds; that academics should avoid
empiricism.
Strength & weakness-
Strength of this article is that is provide discussion at the end of study with right data, but
it is one of their weak point because discussion is limited.
Methods-
The approaches has been used in study is inductive research method, primary data
collection, etc.
Finding and results-
Finding or outcome of this study recommends wider range of care provider types and
obesity related parenting guidance.

Article 5
It forecast quantitatively how childhood weight will react to obesity intervention. This
study contributes effectively and makes predictions about body weight management
interventions.
Research type-
This is quantitative research type, develops mathematical concept of childhood energy
balance that manage health development and growth of obesity and also makes quantitative
assumptions as well.
Strength & weakness-
Strength of this study is that is shows degree of childhood obesity by using graphs or
images. Weakness of this article is that is does not provide any further suggestions.
Methods-
Step size of 0 to 2 days for numerical integration has been used in current study, which is
much smaller than futuristic timescale of concept dynamics.
Finding and results-
The study defines calculation of energy balance dynamics underlying human body
composition differences in sets of age and sex matched. It provides overall measures and age of
children face obesity issues.
Article 6-
It is the last article that relate to family based childhood obesity and its preventions. In
this study wider range of preventions has been used and tested to decrease obesity in child
(Family-based childhood obesity prevention interventions: a systematic review and quantitative
content analysis, 2017).
Research type-

It is quantitative research that presents background of study, methods, sample
characteristics, interventions, inter-ratter reliability, data synthesis, limitations and outcomes.
Strength & weakness-
The best thing about this article is that is shows limitations and comparison of this study
with observational studies. The weak point of this research is lack of research approaches.
Methods-
SPSS method has been used in this study to interpretate data about selected topic that is
obesity issue in children.
Finding and results-
The outcome of this research is consistent with findings from a information analysis. It
analysed that obesity occur from parents.
PART THREE
Conclusion
From above analysis, three qualitative and quantitative studies based on childhood
obesity as study subject has been selected. It has been concluded that there are varied types of
methods available in health care world that are using my healthcare providers to overcome above
issue and lead to healthier society as entire. Furthermore, it has been summarized that by using
varied approaches and techniques childhood obesity easily and effectively overcome. There are
some similarities between all above findings also has been determined by using all 6 articles.
Moreover, certain gaps efficiently determined for further research that overcome considering by
scholar.
Similarities between findings-
On the basis of similarities point, it has been identified that all above findings are based
on same topic and that childhood obesity. Findings of all above articles provide varied types of
methods to overcome this health issue, which is quite similar. Each finding describe childhood

obesity and information related to it, which is essential to known by people who are reading
theses articles for gathering more info about topic. Another similar thing about above finding is
that is has been completed by using different types of research methods. From above findings,
along with two similarities, another one is also identified and that is research purpose. Above
outcomes, drive towards same thing and provide further suggestions in context of it, which make
users able to analyse data in systematic manner. With the help of articles outcomes learner can
understand overall concept, analyse in depth knowledge and identify ways in regard to decrease
childhood obesity problems, which is quite beneficial and significant for individual.
Gaps for further research-
Research gap is defined as area or subject for which insufficient or mission information
limits capability to reach a summary for a query. Investigation is defined as a gap that can limit
ability of decision taker from making decisions. From above findings, it has been identify that
themes in most qualitative articles has been missing, which play vital role in an article. Without
defining themes, researchers make understanding about study quite difficult for person who read
it later.
This is one of the main pieces that have been missing in above studies which need to be
completed by scholar to make their work more systematic and effective. In most investigation
lack of methods has been determined, there are no evidence has been found on it. Furthermore, it
has been justified that there are few research gaps from above articles analysed which may be
impact on findings and final outcomes. Researcher uses limit approaches and most common
methods, instead of using others.
