HOW TO USE THE RESEARCH REVIEW INVENTORY (revised)
The review inventory consists of a number of items, numbered sequentially from 1 up to 58.
For research proposals: 1-45.
You can download the UNISA version on MyUnisa. Document title: “Review Log for the
Research Review Inventory MS WORD FILE Unisa HMPYC80”.
RATING SCALE :
Items should be reviewed and rated on a three-point rating scale from 1 to 3.
The ratings are defined as follows:
1: Absent, incorrect, or completely wrong.
2: Only partially addressed. It does not attain the item requirement or criteria.
3: Sufficiently up to standard in terms of the item criteria.
Every relevant item should be reviewed and rated on this three-point scale (1 to 3).
KEEP A RECORD OF YOUR ANSWERS
Use the R.R.I. (revised): Review Log to document and keep a record of your ratings ON THE
ONLINE SITE
REVIEWER COMMENTS AND THE FEEDBACK REPORT
Each rating is associated with general comments.
For example, suppose a reviewer reviews a particular proposal and gives a rating of “3” for the
clarification of the proposed study. The general comment would be: “The research question is
formulated. A research question is derived from the research issue.”
IMPORTANT NOTES
Remember, where the item criterion is not explicitly addressed then allocate a low rating (1).
Good academic writing is clear and transparent. If a reader needs to guess at whether an issue
has been implemented and addressed or not, then the writing is neither clear nor transparent.
Only give a high rating (3) if the item criteria have been explicitly addressed.

02. The title indicates the research setting or demographic information of the sample
population.
Any one of the following is sufficient: where, who, when, under what circumstances, or the
phenomenon that is being investigated.
ANSWER:
This title indicates:
who = Call centre agents’
phenomenon = emotional intelligence as predicators of their exhaustion and professional
efficacy
(Harry, 2021, pp.1).
Therefore it meets the criteria.

03. The title points to, or refers to, the research method, design or paradigm.
This may be signalled by a keyword or phrase such as: “lived experiences”, “perceptions”,
“attitudes”, “constructions”, “discourses”, “quasi-experimental”, “critical study”, “psychometric
properties”, “correlational study”, “inferential study”, and so on.
