Log 3, which functions as a synthesis matrix, students will document supplemental sources (of any type) that fill informational and perspectival gaps in their research.

At the top of Research Log 3, state your (sub-)discipline, the current and unresolved issue you selected, and the most recent version of your refined research question. Include, in parentheses, the citation style preferred by your discipline.

synthesis matrix, which you will use to log information from the eight (8) most credible and useful sources collected throughout the entirety of your research process (Logs 1-2 and supplemental).

A matrix template is provided below: should be in a table.

Sources	Theme 1	Theme 2	Theme 3	Theme 4
Source 1
Source 2
Source 3
Source 4
Source 5
Source 6
Source 7
Source 8

On the final page of your project, respond to the following three reflection questions.

1. Discuss how you made determinations about which themes were most pertinent to answering your research question and should be used in your matrix, and to what extent your careful reading of the sources informed these determinations.

2. Discuss what informational and perspectival gaps you identified when reading your preliminary matrix, what search strategies you used to find supplemental sources, and how these supplemental sources filled these research gaps.

3. Discuss how you moved past personal beliefs about the issue to fully engage in an inquiry-driven (rather than thesisdriven) research process with an open mind about the information and perspectives you found across the three logs.

Refined Research Question: How does the implementation of community-based health education programs contribute to improving vaccination rates among marginalized populations, and what role do cultural factors play in the effectiveness of such interventions?
