2ND LONG TEST Flashcards
somehow presents the fundamental idea of the particular study
Introduction
consists of the organized discussion of sources. This is where you summarize and synthesize your literature review and reflect how they related to your study.
Main Body
emphasize what you have learned from reviewing the literature and where your study leads to.
Conclusions/Recommendations
Usually, it is a type of review in which the researcher relates his or her study to a larger body of knowledge. It presents the current research by merging it into a wider framework and determine its contribution and impact to the specific field of study.
Context Review
specialized type of literature review in which the researcher organizes the related research according to the period of time it was conducted. Historical literature review focuses on probing research in a specified field throughout a chronological order, which usually starts from the oldest period of time going to the most recent studies.
The goal of this type of research is to gain knowledge on the advancement of technology and to identify developments in certain areas, which progress through time. It can be integrated with a theoretical or methodological review to illustrate how a concept, theory, or research method developed through time.
Historical Review
common type of literature review in which the researcher introduces and summarizes the recent knowledge of the study. it emphasizes the agreements and disagreements of knowledge among various previous research. It also considers reviews, critiques, and synthesizes representative literature in an integrated way in order to generate new structure and viewpoint on the topic.
This is the most common form of literature review in the social sciences. This review is usually merged with a context review.
Integrative Review
specialized type of literature review in which the researcher gathers, compares and contrasts other studies to the current research. It basically summarizes and evaluates the strengths and gaps in methodological aspects of various studies and illustrates the effects of different methodologies (research designs, samples, process) to different outcomes. This approach also emphasizes ethical issues when necessary, which you should consider and be conscious of as you go through your current research.
Methodological Review
literature review in which the researcher demonstrates his or her understanding of a specific body of knowledge. It contains existing proof associated to a clearly stated research questions and uses standardized methods to determine and evaluate relevant research. However, it can also produce problems of prejudice especially when it is used to summarize claims or statements linking his or her findings to a system of knowledge. Typically, it is a practice in the educational program or course requirement.
Self-study Review
literature review in which the researcher introduces several theories or concepts that are focused on a specific topic. It is particular on the theories and concepts being highlighted on other researches and compares them to the current study basing on its framework, hypothesis, consistency. and justification. The theoretical literature review aids in establishing the theories already existed, the relationships of theories among various studies, the degree of its investigation, and the development of new hypotheses.
Theoretical Review
sources in which a researcher refers to track down other sources.
General References
are publications in which a researcher accounts the findings of his or her investigations
Primary Sources
are publications in which a researcher considers the work of others.
Secondary Sources
convey many forms of information. The needed information here is from the books containing a collection of research materials and articles. You can find citation information on them such as the title, author, date, and publisher in the catalog system.
Books
may also be referred to as academic journals or peer reviewed journals. They are filled with peer-reviewed information about research. Articles are written by a scholar in the field and the researcher is always identified. List of the sources of the information like footnotes, endnotes, and bibliography is always included. Typically, they contain advanced terminologies since the researcher uses technical language in their field of study. The researcher assumes that the reader has a background and basic understanding in the field of research.
Scholarly Journals
final requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in which the student or researcher has to complete a work of original research. Some dissertations are eventually published as books or articles which consider their findings and contribution to the academic discipline. Since dissertations are original research, they can be a source of valuable information.
Dissertations
agencies around the world support research undertakings and publish the findings of the study. Government documents are usually kept at the government and some school libraries. These documents are rarely found in the catalog system.
Government Documents
are also a source of information in literature review. Policy papers are not like the typical research papers. Usually, they are discussed to non-academic readers. They may initiate by identifying an issue or phenomenon that usually claims an answer and they are focused on being persuasive. Moreover, policy papers are written proficiently and most of the readers do not want to read a book due to limited time. Generally, they are supplemented by policy briefs which summarize the papers.
Policy Reports and Presented Papers
findings of the study which can be seen in newspapers, in popular magazines, on television or radio broadcasts, and in Internet news summaries. They are the chosen edited summaries done by journalists for the general readers. They are deficient in numerous vital details that are required to critically evaluate the study.
Periodicals
Is the meaning of the term that is based on how it is defined in the dictionary or encyclopedia.
Conceptual Definition
Is the meaning of the term based on how it was used in the study.
Operational Definition
includes only the sources that you have mentioned or cited intext in your paper, while a bibliography is generally a list of all the sources you use to generate your ideas about your research even if you have not mentioned or cited them in your paper. There are different citing and referencing styles that are being used depending on the specific requirements of different fields of disciplines.
Reference
reference to a literature being used in your study. It is a way of giving acknowledgement to the authors whom you have referred to their intellectual works and creativity as a support or foundation of your research. Typically, citations include author’s name, date, publisher information, journal information and/or DOI (Digital Objective Identifier) if present (Literature Review: Citation Styles, nd).
From the name itself, an in-text citation is a reference made within the body of text in the paper. It leads the reader to a source where a particular information has been taken of. An in-text citation should be reflected when you refer, paraphrase, summarize, or quote from another author. A corresponding reference list must be provided at the end of the study as references or bibliography.
Citation
When you are finished with your paper, have it read by others who are qualified (expert in the field) for further improvements. Comprehend and incorporate their corrections and suggestions for the betterment of your study. It is so much better if there will be more qualified people that can proof-read your paper.
Recap
You need to make an outline first for the structuring of your literature review. Thorough reading and understanding should be done for you to be able to plan and structure the ideas from your different sources. You can use different approaches like chronological, thematic, theoretical, etc.
Draw up your outline
After formulating the outline, you can now begin writing your first draft. It is expected that your first draft is still rough. Your second draft involves tightening up and improving the flow. There would be several drafts needed for your paper to be polished.
