The aim of this study was to develop an instrument to evaluate research reports objectively according to set criteria, relative weights and critical errors. A tentative instrument was compiled and copies were sent to 144 university lecturers and senior lecturers at South African Nursing Science Departments in order to determine:
- the face validity of the assessment criteria of the 18 stated aspects of research reports
- the weight or relative value of each of the aspects
- how relationships between aspects should be evaluated
