WE RESEARCH TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD
To research something is to investigate it systematically in order to reach new conclusions, establish facts and learn as much about the truth as possible.

WE DESIGN TO CHANGE THE WORLD

71
Q

STEPS IN CONDUCTING A LITERATURE REVIEW

A

  2. Using the keywords, begin searching the databases for holdings (i.e., journals and books)
    General databases, including Google Scholar, Web of Science, EBSCO, ProQuest, and JSTOR, cover a broad range of disciplines.
    (Creswell & Creswell, 2018, p.70)
  3. Set a priority on the search for journal articles and books Determine whether these articles and books exist in your academic library or whether you need to send for them by interlibrary loan or purchase them through a bookstore.
    (Creswell & Creswell, 2018, p.70)
  4. SKIM this initial group of articles or chapters and collect those that are central to your topic Throughout this process, simply try to obtain a sense as to whether the article or chapter will make a useful contribution to your understanding of the literature. (Creswell & Creswell, 2018, p.70)
  5. As you identify useful literature, begin designing a literature map (Creswell & Creswell, 2018, p.70)
  6. summaries of the most relevant articles These summaries are combined into the final literature review that you write for your proposal or research study. Include precise references to the literature using an appropriate style guide. (Creswell & Creswell, 2018, p.70)
  7. After summarizing the literature, assemble the literature review, structuring it thematically or organizing it by important concepts.
