On the know-how to synthesize academic ideas in theoretical framework level-1a of the Agile Literature Review Approach (Stream 1)

In the agile literature review approach (stream 1), the theoretical framework level-1a is a concrete output of the literature review process, presented in diagrammatical form. With this framework subsequently inserted in the dissertation report (chapter 2: Literature review), some specific know-how is required to review, justify and synthesize the gathered academic ideas to explain how this  academic idea set (for a specific research objective) enables you to design your research method(s) and conduct theory-driven analysis on your research findings.

The know-how knowledge include the ingredient topics of (i) scientific claims, (ii) what is theory, (iii) conceptual and theoretical frameworks, and the two directions in literature review.  These ingredient topics are to be learned on top of the more foundational topic of literature review.
