10) This is my own idea -> I use the highlighter option in Word so when I find sections of an
article I like I can highlight them and save them for later. It really saves time.
I wanted to share these ideas because I thought they were helpful.

from Judith Hayes U2/D2:According to Gall et al (1996) , there are six main purposes for a
literature review and paying attention to these can ensure that your research will contribute to
research knowledge. These purposes are:
delimiting the research problem,
seeking new lines of enquiry,
avoiding fruitless approaches,
gaining methodological insights,
identifying recommendations for further research
seeking support for grounded theory.
Glaser (1978) , suggests that reading current literature on indirect topics can help a researcher to
recognize the impact of other research on their intended topic of study but still allow for
creativity for their own approach.
In order to conduct an effective literature review, it is important to clearly state the problem
question. This ensures that the literature you review is pertinent to your study.
from Shawn in U2/D1 response: form and contents of the research review:
Other parts of this unit (D2 and D3) focus on the usefulness of a literature review and knowing
when enough is enough (as it relates to a literature review). A literature review in and of itself is
not "research" but rather a justification for doing a research project. This is worth noting because
many of you may have done literature reviews your instructors called "research" in other courses
but that is only one part of what you will be working on for the course project here. may I see the
literature review as one of 4 valuable pieces of the puzzle with the others focusing on the
methods one would use to investigate a topic, the results of the investigation, and then the
discussion of the results in terms of implications, recommendations, etc. Included below is an
outline of a proposal for a "research" paper---this may help you see where we are going in this
course.
ABSTRACT
A short synopsis of what your proposal will address. It will also include the purpose of this study,
numbers of participants, findings and conclusions.
