SORU:

What are the tips that can help organize literature reviews? 


CEVAP:

You should avoid giving details about the studies you have reviewed and it should be enough to explain their methods and findings. The following steps can be adopted (Lodico et al., 2006, 56):

1. Step one: Prepare summary sheets or article abstracts. Analyze the summary or the abstracts of the studies you collected by marking the key features and motivations behind the studies. At that point, as you read over your rundown, endeavor to verbalize an outline word, theme, or expression that best applies to the article. Write these words, themes,w and expressions on the sheets that you prepared to organize your review.

2. Step two: Review the summary sheets or article abstracts. Compare and contrast the keywords and themes you have found. Put each article under the related key words and then categorize their main focus. Some articles may be placed in more than one category.

3. Step three: Decide how you can organize your literature review. While deciding you can use these questions: • How can you display a big picture of what is known about your research topic? • Which studies are most and least related to your research topic? • Which studies support or conflict with your research topic? • How can you create a meaningful framework for your research topic?

4. Step four: Begin writing your literature review using the analysis you made in the first three steps.
