REVIEW
OF
LITERATURE
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
By becoming
aware of any problems and pitfalls, you will be
better positioned to select a methodology that is
capable of providing valid answers to your research
question. This will increase your confidence in the
methodology you plan to use and will equip you to
defend its use.
Summary:
Reviewing the literature is a continuous process. It
begins before a research problem is finalised and
continues until the report is finished. There is a paradox
in the literature review: you cannot undertake an
effective literature review unless you have formulated a
research problem, yet your literature search plays an
extremely important role in helping you to formulate your
research problem. The literature review brings clarity and
focus to your research problem, improves your research
methodology and broadens your knowledge base.

Reveiew of Literature GβA
Summary:
Reviewing the literature involves a number of steps:
searching for existing literature in your area of
study; reviewing the selected literature; using it to
develop a theoretical framework from which your
study emerges and also using it to develop a
conceptual framework which will become the basis
of your investigation. The main sources for
identifying literature are books, journals and the
Internet.

Reveiew of Literature GβA
Summary:
There are several sources which can provide
information about locating relevant journals.
The literature review serves two important function:
(1) it provides theoretical background to your study,
and (2) it helps you to contextualise your findings by
comparing them with what others have found out in
relation to the area of enquiry. At this stage of the
research process, only the first function can be
fulfilled.

Reveiew of Literature GβA
Summary:
You can only take steps to achieve the second function
when you have analysed your data and are in the
process of writing about your findings.
Your writing about the literature reviewed should be
thematic in nature, that is based on main themes; the
sequence of these themes in the write-up should follow
a logical progression; various arguments should be
substantiated with specific quotations and citations
from the literature and should adhere to an acceptable
academic referencing style.
