RELATED REVIEW CN #14 When I look at you: I see unlimited possibilities Objectives • Discuss the review of related literature • Value the importance of review of related literature The review of literature includes practically all the information and data which are authoritative and relevant to the topic of the study as in the case of research and similar scholarly undertakings.
LITERATURE REVIEW Literature Sources: • Journal articles • Monographs • Computerized databases • Conference proceedings • Theses and dissertations • Government reports and reports from other bodies • Historical records Questions in doing Literature Review 1. Have you clearly indicated the scope and purpose of the review?
2. Have you included a balanced
coverage of what is available?
3. Have you included enough materials
to show the development and limitations in this area? 4. Have you included the most recent and relevant studies?
5. Have you indicated the source of the
literature by referencing accurately?
6. Have you used mostly primary sources
or appropriate secondary sources? Why do a Literature Review?
These are the following:
1.To indicate the research that has been conducted in the area before, to ensure that you’re not ‘reinventing the wheel’.
2. To demonstrate that you’re aware of
important and recent studies in your study area. 3. To ensure that you haven’t missed literature detailing a novel way for you to conduct your study is, or pointing you to a data-collection tool that is most appropriate for your study.
4. To explain the theoretical background to your
proposed research project. 5. To demonstrate your ability to critically analyze the literature in your study area. This indicates that your research idea is based on a good understanding of previous research in the area, and it also demonstrates your ability to highlight the existing gap or any disagreements in the research areas that your study addresses. KINDS OF TERATURE 1. Traditional. Also referred to as narrative literature review, it provides a quick overview of current studies.
2. Integrative. This review synthesizes
findings from different approaches (Whittemore & Knafl, 2005). 3. Syntactic. This review synthesizes high quality empirical information to answer a given research question.
4. Scoping. This review involves a broad
research question that explores the current evidence base (Armstrong, Hall, Doyle & Waters, 2011). Characteristics of a Good Literature Review 1. Materials must be as recent as possible.
2. Materials must be as objective and as
unbiased as possible.
3. Materials must be relevant to the study.
4. Materials must not be too few but nor too
many. TYPES OF SOURCES
1.Primary Sources- publications in which
researchers report the results of their studies.
2.Secondary Sources- publications in which
authors describe the work of others Using Computer for Literature Preparing a literature review thus involves: • Searching for reliable, accurate and up-to date material on the topic or subject
• Reading and summarizing the key points
from this literature.
• Synthesizing these key ideas, theories and
concepts into a summary of what is known • Discussing and evaluating these ideas, theories and concepts
• Identifying particular areas of debate or
controversy
• Preparing the ground for the application of
these ideas to new research Citing Related Literature Using Standard Style Cn#15 Citing Literature For qualitative research, previous studies do not only serve as a basis for the current study but more significantly, information culled from the said sources can support in the process of interpretation and analysis of data. What am I Citing? REFERENCING STYLES APA/MLA/HARVARD/CHICAGO APA (American Psychological Association) is an author /date-based style. WEBSITE BOOK Kraizer, S. G. (2005). Safe Sherman, C., & Prince, G. child. Retrieved from (2011). The invisible web: http://www.safechild.org Uncovering information sources search engines can’t see. Melford, NJ: Cyber Age Books. MLA (Modern Language Association) is most often applied in the arts and humanities, particularly in the USA.
HARVARD is very similar to APA. It is the
most well used referencing style in the UK and Australia, and it is encouraged for use with the humanities. CHICAGO AND TURABIAN are two separate styles but very similar. They are widely used for economics and history. Ways of Citing Related Literature: BY AUTHOR OR WRITER e.g., According to Felipe (2015) …
BY TOPIC e.g., It has been found out that ... (Felipe 2015)
BY CHRONOLOGY according to the year, the literatures were written, usually from earliest to the latest. When your quote is longer than 40 words, Start the quote on a new line
Indent the entire quote by 5 spaces (1/2 of an
inch if you use the ruler in Microsoft Word)
Don’t use quotation marks
Double-space the quote (just like the rest of the paper)
Use brackets enclosing ellipses [ ] to represent
omitted text
If your quote contains a quote, use double
quotation marks “ “ around the shorter quote THANK YOU
