| Checklist Items | Pg/NA | Comment History |
| Introduction | ||
| Restate the problem and the purpose. | ||
| Provide a concise synopsis of the current literature that establishes the relevance of the problem. | ||
| Preview major sections of the chapter. | ||
| Literature Search Strategy | ||
| List accessed library databases and search engines used. | ||
| List key search terms and combinations of search terms (with more detailed search terms located in an appendix, if appropriate). | ||
| Describe scope of literature review in terms of years searched as well as types of literature and sources searched, including seminal literature as well as current peer-reviewed literature. | ||
| In cases where there is little current research, and few (if any) dissertations and/or conference proceedings, describe how this was handled. | ||
| Theoretical Foundation | ||
| Name the theory or theories. | ||
| Provide origin or source of the theory. | ||
| Describe major theoretical propositions and/or major hypotheses, including delineation of any assumptions appropriate to the application of the theory. | ||
| Provide a literature- and research- based analysis of how the theory has been applied previously in ways similar to the current study. | ||
| Provide the rationale for the choice of this theory. | ||
| Describe how and why the selected theory relates to the present study and how the research questions relate to, challenge, or build upon existing theory. | ||
| Conceptual Framework (As appropriate) | ||
| Identify and define the concept and/or phenomenon. | ||
| Synthesize primary writings by key theorists, philosophers, and/or seminal researchers related to the concept or phenomenon. | ||
| Provide key statements and definitions inherent in the framework. | ||
| Describe how the concept or phenomenon has been applied and articulated in previous research and how the current study benefits from this framework. | ||
| Literature Review Related to Key Variables and/or Concepts Provide an exhaustive review of the current literature that includes the following information: | ||
| Describe studies related to the constructs of interest and chosen methodology and methods that are consistent with the scope of the study. | ||
| Describe ways researchers in the discipline have approached the problem and the strengths and weakness inherent in their approaches. | ||
| Justify from the literature the rationale for selection of the variables or concepts. | ||
| Review and synthesize studies related to the key independent, dependent, and covariate variables to produce a description and explanation of what is known about the variables, what is controversial (i.e., mixed findings by researchers), and what remains to be studied. | ||
| Review and synthesize studies related to the research questions. | ||
| Summary and Conclusions | ||
| Concisely summarize major themes in the literature. | ||
| Summarize what is known as well as what is not known in the discipline related to the topic of study. | ||
| Describe how the present study fills at least one of the gaps in the literature and will extend knowledge in the discipline. | ||
| Provide transitional material to connect the gap in the literature to the methods described in chapter 3. | ||
