how to effectively do literature search and review?
Teresa Rutherford replied to Xiaowen Lei's topic in Research
A literature review establishes where your dissertation ‘fits in' to the existing body of knowledge. However, many academic papers have very brief literature reviews, and sometimes they are confined to the introduction rather than being a separate section in their own right. When researching your dissertation, it is not uncommon to read 20-30 journal articles. These will form the basis of discussion in any literature review. As you will probably have to read some articles anyway, the reading burden is not excessive. Identifying which articles are important is a stumbling block. Asking members of your department or supervisors for key readings can get you started. Check out this link.
