Hi @Sasha-160499: for my social contribution I have added some useful links under the Psychedelics and anxiety section of your chapter. I am focusing on a similar topic and I found these to be extremely informative and interesting articles. I hope you find them useful too! The articles are "Analysis of Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy in Medicine: A Narrative Review", "Developing Guidelines and Competencies for the Training of Psychedelic Therapists", and "Learning to Let Go: A Cognitive-Behavioral Model of How Psychedelic Therapy Promotes Acceptance". Looking forward to reading your chapter! --SammyTabrett (discusscontribs) 07:26, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Some initial suggestions:

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along.

Case study suggestions

[edit source]

Hi @Sasha-160499: I really like where this is headed so far, particularly how you plan to interweave the case study throughout. If you can find something appropriate, maybe you can make the case studies more engaging by adding a small icon in the corner of each one that aligns with its topic/focus? --U3213682 (discusscontribs) 06:11, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Edits

[edit source]

Hi Sasha, I just wanted to let you know that I have edited one of your headings as per a suggestion from James on my own page where the headings should be written in sentence casing. This means only the first letter should be in a capital letter, the rest in lower cases. For example: What are Psychedelics should be What are psychadelics. I'll leave you to edit the rest of your headings! Good luck with the assignment! Laura --Lauraei11 (discusscontribs) 09:36, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply


Topic development feedback

[edit source]

The topic development submission has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history for editing changes made whilst reviewing this chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date.

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Basic, 1-level heading structure – would benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure
  3. Focus on global perspective, although Australia could be used as a case study (but remove heading)
  4. There is not enough in the headings about P and A - it focuses on P
  1. Good start; needs work
  2. Move scenario to top; consider adding an image to help attract reader interest
  3. Zero in more quickly on P and A - rather than spending too much time on A
  4. The last focus question is suitable; consider revising the first three because there are too broad. Focus on P and A.
  1. Problematic due to insufficient focus on P and A; almost exclusively focuses on P
  2. Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
  3. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
  4. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Hasn't been developed
    2. What might the take-home, practical messages be? (What are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?)
  1. A relevant figure is presented and captioned
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text
  1. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  2. Promising use of example(s)/case study(ies)
  3. Consider including more quiz question(s), table(s) etc.
  1. Very good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Excellent
  1. Used effectively
  2. Description about self provided
  3. Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks.
  4. Link provided to book chapter
  1. Excellent – at least three different types of contributions with direct link(s) to evidence

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is an excellent chapter. It successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. Well over the maximum word count. The content beyond 4,000 words (i.e., See also, References, and External links) has been ignored for marking purposes.
  1. Well developed
  2. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  3. Engages reader interest by introducing a case study and/or example
  4. Clear focus question(s)
  5. Ideally, provide open-ended, rather than closed-ended focus questions
  1. A very good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. More info about the research for each of the theories would be helpful
  3. The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory
  4. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  5. Very good/ depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  6. Basic use of tables and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  7. Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Very good review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Greater emphasis on effect sizes could be helpful.
  4. Excellent critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  5. Claims are referenced
  1. Very good integration between theory and research
  2. The research seems to mostly focus on outcomes rather than testing theory
  1. Excellent, balanced summary and conclusion
  2. Key points are well summarised
  3. Clear take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good; however, the chapter is over the word count
    2. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking
    3. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes
    4. "People" is often a better term than "individuals"
    5. Use permanent, rather than relative, time references. For example, instead of "20 years ago", refer to something like "at the beginning of the 21st century". In this way, the text will survive better into the future, without needing to be rewritten.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
  3. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors)
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation
    3. Figures
      1. Figures are well captioned
      2. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text
    4. Tables
      1. Use APA style for captions. See example
      2. Each Table is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style
    5. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Remove commas after et al. when the publication year is in parentheses
    6. References use almost correct APA style
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[2]
  1. Good use of learning features
  2. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
  3. Very good use of image(s)
  4. Basic use of table(s)
  5. Very good use of feature box(es)
  6. Very good/use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  7. Excellent use of case studies or examples
  8. Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  9. Very good use of external links in the "External links" section
  1. ~3 logged, useful, minor to moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence
