Write a 120-200 word Journal Synopsis paper based on your Task 1 results
The purpose of this final assessment activity is to produce a 120-200 word Journal Synopsis paper on your findings, lessons learnt and a discussion that will be supported by your annotated bibliography with references from respected sources. After submission, post a copy to share with your peers on the Discussion Forum.
The challenge is to communicate the most about your project in the least amount of words.
What is a synopsis?
It is another name for an Abstract, that you will have read at the beginning of academic journal articles when researching your A4 Annotated Bibliography. If you have read these synopses or abstracts, you’ll already know that they are:
“a summary of the article; its arguments and conclusion.”
The journal abstract or synopsis was very useful to you perhaps, in helping you to decide if an article is relevant to your research, and in deciding the worth of further reading and are an integral feature of most conferences. The presenters are required to submit an abstract or synopsis of their papers, which conference delegates later receive. This helps the delegates decide which presentation they will attend. So you need to be convincing with your synopsis and include an overview of your arguments and conclusions. Synopses are generally only one or two paragraphs long, and they are placed at the beginning of the paper.
It should make it easier if you use the simple template below for your 120-200 word Journal Synopsis paper as it has the following headings and length as a guide:
TITLE (10 words of the synopsis paper and NOT the same as your Project Title)

Rationale
This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s:
The rationale of this assessment is to test your ability to review, evaluate, critique and support others opinions as well as existing literature, using a scholarly writing style. You will also demonstrate your ability to carry out independently research and locate information from various sources such as journals, conference proceedings, online databases, eBooks and industry magazines.
The Learning Outcomes being assessed in task include your ability to perform literature searches and critically analyse the literature in the chosen topic and then to critically reflect on and synthesize complex information, problems, concepts and theories in the chosen topic. As the Annotated Bibliography develops, so will also be demonstrating your advanced communication and academic writing skills in transmitting your capstone experiences and ideas to others.
What does a well constructed annotated bibliography contain?
That is a research topic on its own, however I recommend the list of SIX structural elements below
The Checklist for the Annotations elements can be used as a quality check as you write:
Content Elements
Writing Style Elements
Task 2
After studying something quite intensely in task 1 Annotated Bibliography, you are now an expert in that area of research. As such, you need to be able to present that knowledge as a compact 120 to 200 word Journal Synopsis paper as a final demonstration of your knowledge and understanding in deploying a range of research principles, methodologies and academic writing skills.
Research is defined in the AQF as follows: "Research comprises systematic experimental and theoretical work, application and/or development that results in an increase in the dimensions of knowledge."
Your research includes original, exploratory, experimental, applied, clinically or work-based, and other forms of creative work undertaken systematically to increase knowledge and understanding, deploying a range of research principles and methodologies.
The aims of this Journal exercise are based and modified on those for which CORE was established:
Zyskind, G., & Nathan, O. (2015). Decentralizing privacy: Using blockchain to protect personal data. Paper presented at the 2015 IEEE Security and Privacy Workshops.
The article is focused on the handling of sensitive data through blockchain within the management rather than using any third party services, which would not compromise or limit the organization.
