    Why is this problem important?
    What are the theore+cal implica+ons of the study?
    Ra+onale for the study
    What results did I expect, and why did I expect them?
    Review of the literature

    Treat controversial issues fairly
    Specic purposes, research ques+ons, hypotheses
    Reviewing research literature
    Read broadly enough to uncover present
    trends and controversies per+nent to the
    topic

    Read selec,vely enough to discover gaps in


    exis+ng knowledge and and iden+fy problems
    needing further study.

    Some+mes a topic might change en+rely as


    you discover new areas for inves+ga+on
    A solid literature review should allow you
    to

    Verify that you have chosen an appropriate topic


    Dene and rene aspects of your own study
    Begin to es+mate the resources your study might
    require
    Establish the importance of your topic and jus+fy
    the eort you will expend.
    Four step funnel
    History of research problem

    Theore+cal and prac+cal importance of the


    research problem

    Address deciencies in current knowledge

    Describe purpose of present research


    Tips for wri+ng a literature review
    Obtain ar+cles
    Organize ar+cles (Cita+on management tool) pertaining to the problem you
    wish to inves+gate in a chronological sequence. All of the ar+cles should be
    related to a unied theme or topic you wish to inves+gate.
    Use on-line, applica+on, organiza+on sooware
    hLp://www.mendeley.com (free)
    RefWorks ($100)

    As a class, please discuss and oer sugges+ons to fellow classmates


    techniques for nding ar+cles.
    Which databases and search engines do you prefer?
    What can you do if an ar+cle you need is unavailable?
    Order it online
    Email the corresponding author and ask for a copy of it.
    Keywords
    Appropriate use of keywords can greatly expand your
    search
    You may use the name of the actual topic
    You may combine several keywords with + or and
    or or
    You may search an authors name and/or year of
    publica+on
    If anyone is having trouble nding ar+cles, now is the
    +me to speak up and ask your classmates, your
    faculty, your supervisors, your commiLee
    More +ps..
    Use the ar+cles at the top of your list to
    provide a historical context

    Your goal is not to reproduce what the


    authors said in the ar+cle. Instead, you should
    interpret the literature as to establish a new
    case or ra+onale for what you wish to
    accomplish in your own research.
    Outline
    Work from an outline while making sure to
    establish the rela+onship of each ar+cle to
    one another

    Unless ar+cles can be shown to be specically


    related to your research problem, they should
    not be included.
    Funnel
    Remember that your literature review should be
    shaped like a funnel
    As you progress through the introduc+on sec+on
    of a research paper, the ar+cles you discuss
    should be increasingly relevant to the specic
    problem you wish to inves+gate, culmina+ng in a
    purpose statement.
    Read as many literature reviews as possible to
    study the way they are structured!
