Learning literature review: a self study programme with videos:
There are various types of literature review; before a student decides a specific approach for his/her dissertation project, it is useful to learn the diverse advice and ideas on the topic. I thus compile a e-learning list for students to study; the list is as follows:
1. What is a literature review. (another one on what is a literature review.)
2. Literature review: a step by step guide.
3. How to write a literature review.
4. Writing the literature review : part 1.
5. Writing the literature review: part 2.
6. Writing a literature review.
7a. Literature review: an overview.
7b. Appraising the evidence in literature review.
8. How to structure a literature review.
9a. The literature review funnel.
9b. The literature review funnel.
10. How to write a literature review fast.
11. Writing a literature synthesis.
12. Toward synthesis and evaluation.
13a. Literature Reviews: Adding your voice
13b. Creating coherence in your writing (literature review).
13c. Steps for creating a literature review paper.
14. A highly related topics on (i) Meanings of theory and (ii) How to write theory.
For students interested in ppt slides, study this slideshare.
After studying the videos, you should also study the topic in Research Methods textbooks to enhance understanding on the topic.
** also a SlideShare on literature review. For students using the agile literature review approach, pls also read the idiosyncratic trajectory of literature review, the inductive reasoning support of the ALRA and examples of analytical ideas for theoretical framework level 1a.
** useful literature search links: proquest and pdfdrive.
A related concern of many students is how to read a scholarly article; there are YouTube videos about this topic such as this video [video 1], video 2 and video 3 [more about note-taking on reading academic articles].
An article example of a vigorous literature review: corporate foresight. The MBA dissertation report literature review is less vigorous, at the level such as this article on logistics management and this one on plagiarism.
An example of comparison of academic ideas: 5-Force Model and Core competence Theory [an horizontal literature review example; refer to two directions of literature review (ALRA).]
A related video on theoretical framework and theories (from the positivist perspective mainly). Another video is on "how to use theory".
