Notes from professor Powerpoint

• The LR is a summary of research:

  • It is not a “list” of found research but a coherent and articulate account of past and current research findings

  • Suggestion: read two or three lit reviews in order to become familiar with summary styles

• The sources typically are journal articles, books and other documents that describe past and present status of research in a given field:

  • The LR should be exhaustive and as current as possible.

  • How many articles?

    • 30 peer-reviewed journal articles

• Primary Source

  • The author’s original work or research reported by the researcher that conducted the study.

• Secondary Source

  • Work cited by another author or research that summarizes or reports findings that come from primary sources

• What’s wrong with using secondary sources?
