A nurse is reading a research study that is based upon Martha Rogers' Science of Unitary Being model. The nurse notices that Rogers is not listed in the article references. How should the nurse interpret this finding?
1. This is likely a simple error of omission in the reference.
2. The researcher erroneously identified Martha Rogers as the developer of that model.
3. The researcher used secondary sources to learn about Rogers' theory.
4. Since Martha Rogers is no longer living, it is not necessary to include her in the reference list.
3
Rationale 1: This would be a huge mistake in a reference list and is likely not what happened.
Rationale 2: Martha Rogers is the developer of the model.
Rationale 3: Martha Rogers' theory is well integrated and well-known in nursing research. It is likely this researcher used secondary sources to learn about the model.
Rationale 4: The researcher should reference all works used, whether the author is living or dead.
