All of the main points raised in the Introduction chapter should be addressed in the Conclusions chapter. All of the main sections in the Research Method (or Design) chapter should appear in the Data Analysis (or Experiment) chapter. All of the main sections in the Literature Review chapter should be re-discussed in the Data Findings (or Reflections) chapter.

Introduction to Literature

Introduction

Finding out what is happening in your area of research is a vital step along your journey to discovery, to find and understand how leading researchers in your field have tackled similar problems and the results they obtained, shortcomings they observed and methodologies they employed are the goals of the literature review process.

Introduction

Additionally the literature reviews serves other purposes; It shares the reader with other studies closely related to your work It relates your work to the larger, ongoing dialogue in the literature It shows how your study is filling in gaps and extending prior studies. It provides a framework for establishing the importance of your study It provides a benchmark for comparing the results of your study with other findings

Introduction

...in other words...

Introduction

...the literature review...

Introduction

...is really, really important.

2D Analysis

The objective of this process is to systematically analyse the existing research and classify it in one of two dimensions.

The breadth of the review is concerned with setting the scene, in terms of describing the foundational research in this particular domain, there will be research mentioned from each of the areas you have included in your spider diagram. The depth of the research concerns itself with the particular topic work that your research will be built upon. There should be approximately the same number of research papers covered in the depth and breath of the research review.

The Literature Survey

Literature Survey

The literature survey is the process of identifying and acquiring the research papers, textbooks, web-sites, theses, etc. that you will require to get a comprehensive overview of the research that has been done in the area that you are investigating. A focused survey technique is recommended to ensure you hit the ground running and using this technique you are almost immediately in a position to implement experiments.

Literature Survey

Recording the papers you have found and read is also of vital importance, and techniques and software available for these tasks are also covered in this section. If you know the exact domain of your research it makes sense to initially focus your search on papers that relate (almost) exactly to your own research, rather than spending a great deal of time reading every paper under the sun that seems remotely relevant.

Literature Survey

A vital step is to identify

KEYWORDS

Literature Survey

e.g. you are doing research on Communities of practice What other keywords do we need to look out for?

Literature Survey

e.g. you are doing research on Communities of practice What other keywords do we need to look out for?

Network of practice Virtual community Virtual Ethnography Virtual team Community-driven knowledge management

Literature Survey

You need to get a notebook that you carry with you, and list all the keywords in there. Use that to record ideas you have about your research. Use it to record details of meetings with your supervisor. Insert any useful newspaper articles, pictures, etc. that help.

Literature Survey

Using these keywords, go to the library and go online and look for journal papers, books, conference papers, etc. that are relevant. Just using Google is insufficient, you need to search in the real world as well.

Literature Survey

What does peer-reviewed mean?

When you submit a research paper, a number of people will read the paper and give feedback/corrections on it. The people who review it will be as expert as you are in the field of research (and as such are your peers). Some conferences only get one person to review a paper, others get two, others more the more people that review conference papers, the more prestigious the conference is, since the papers in it are bound to be of very quality. Journal papers are normally reviewed by several people, and are considered very credible.

Good Sources ?

What are some good journals?

Who are ACM ?

The Association for Computing Machinery, or ACM, is a learned society for computing. It was founded in 1947 as the world's first scientific and educational computing society. Its membership is more than 92,000 as of 2009. ACM is organized into over 170 local chapters and 35 Special Interest Groups (SIGs), through which it conducts most of its activities. Many of the SIGs, like SIGGRAPH, SIGPLAN, SIGCSE and SIGCOMM, sponsor regular conferences which have become famous as the dominant venue for presenting new innovations in certain fields. The groups also publish a large number of specialized journals, magazines, and newsletters.

Effective Searching Let us consider searching for information relating to 'Project-Based Learning'

The Hyphen The first thing to note is the hyphen between the words 'Project' and 'Based', will every web-page relating to this subject have the hyphen in it, or will some just leave it out. If you just leave it out the search engines will find the phrase with or without the hyphen.

Finding Research online

So the first search to try is

"Project Based Learning"

"Project Based Learning" "PhD Thesis" "Project Based Learning" "Masters Thesis Project Based Learning Masters Thesis Declaration

if this returns 10,000 links then try

this may return PhD or Masters thesis on the subject you require information on.

Finding Research online

To find other 'good' pages relating to your subject matter, try

"Project Based Learning Link*"

for "PBL Links" or "PBL Link Page"

"Project Based Learning Portal*"

for "PBL Portal" or "PBL Portal Page"

for "PBL Webring" or "PBL Webrings"

"Project Based Learning Webring*"

"Project Based Learning FAQ*"

for "PBL FAQ"or "PBL FAQs" or "PBL FAQL"or "PBL FAQLs"

Finding Research online

If you are looking for papers relating to "Project Based Learning", try

"Project Based Learning" Bibliography "Project Based Learning" Literature Review "Project Based Learning" Literature Survey "Project Based Learning" Overview "Project Based Learning" A Roadmap

Unlike the previous section where we were looking for 'good' pages and put the entire phrase in double quotes, in this section we are only putting the subject matter we are investigating in quotes and the rest of the terms are free text, in this way we can find pages which may not be titled, for example, "Project Based Learning Bibliography", but may be a bibliography which contain references to Project Based Learning.

Finding Research online

If you are looking for a more specific topic, for example, "The Impact of the Web on Project Based Learning", try

"Impact of the Web on Project Based Learning" (unlikely) "Project Based Learning" overview web "Project Based Learning" survey web "Project Based Learning" review web "Project Based Learning" assessment web

Finding Research online

Also consider web-sites which will be using the acronym for "Project Based Learning" so try "PBL" "P.B.L." Consider the acronym for "Virtual Learning Environments", it could be "VLE"or "VLEs"or "V.L.E."or "V.L.E.s"or "V.L.Es", so try "VLE*" "V.L.E*"

Literature Survey

Here is a good tip:

Literature Survey

Find an up-to-date thesis that is closely related to your research question (your supervisor should be able to help you with this, if not, search the web) and use this as a launch pad to your research This is a very useful starting point since it will give you an immediate overview of your research field.

Some Considerations When Using A Thesis As A Starting Point

Regional Variations : Different countries, different regions and even different universities have differing standards for their dissertations, so, whilst the dissertation is a useful starting point, it can only be considered as such, and is not a template for your own work. Correspondence of Research : The dissertation that you are using should have a significant overlap with your own research, but there are bound to be differences, therefore, your own literature review will be very different to the one you have found, since yours is aimed at highlighting the gap that you wish to address. Quality of Research : The quality of the dissertation is something you will need to consider, how comprehensive is this persons work ? Have they missed any important papers or major blocks of research ?

Literature Survey

When have you found enough papers?

Literature Survey

When have you found enough papers? There is no hard-and-fast rule, but my own suggestion is about 50 papers you dont have to review them yet, just have them printed out in a pile.

Literature Comprehension

Literature Comprehension

The literature comprehension is the process of reading and understanding the research found in the survey process.

Literature Comprehension

Youve found 50 papers, now what are you going to do with them ?

Literature Comprehension

Youve found 50 papers, now what are you going to do with them ?
The first thing to do is to divide them into piles based on sub-topics within your research, so some papers might be about the overall themes and others might be about specific issues.

Literature Comprehension

Now start to read them, I suggest ten sittings, reading five papers in each sitting.

Literature Comprehension

You will be freaked out after reading the first five papers, you will be deluged with new terminology, models and approaches. The important thing is to hang in there, dont get overwhelmed by it all, just read them, and make a note of all new terms, models and approaches

Literature Comprehension

in your notebook

Literature Comprehension

Dont get overwhelmed by it all, the more papers you read, the less new terms you will be encountering, the more of an expert you will become. You are also adding to your keyword search list.

Literature Comprehension

The first ten papers are the worst, once you are over that hurdle, you will find the rest much easier. Also in your notebook write down any nice phrases used in the papers, any interesting approaches to the experiments and any nice display of results.

Literature Comprehension

Also dont be afraid to ask for help from your supervisor or other people. The process of reading and trying to understand complex research can sometimes be a discouraging one, but a systematic approach to tackling this is best.

Literature Comprehension

Part of the process might be that you have to do a simple replica of an experiment described in the research to fully understand it. Thats alright, because with all the simulation and prototyping software now available, thats not as hard as it used to be.

Literature Comprehension

Active Reading: It is very important to read new research in an active manner, you shouldnt just skim read the material, but understand what you are reading, as you are reading it. It may be necessary to re-read a sentence, one phrase at a time, or one word at a time until the meaning is evident. It may be the case that you will have to consult some reference source to confirm the meaning of terminology, this being the case, it is only logical to keep reference material close to hand (textbooks, the internet, dictionaries, etc.)

Literature Comprehension

To help you in this process, Ive created a checksheet with some friends that have questions you should consider after reading a paper:

http://www.comp.dit.ie/dgordon/CheckSheets/ScienceArticleCheckSheet.doc

Literature Comprehension

THE QUESTIONS ARE: What type of article is it? What is the main issue/problem being discussed? Skim read what could your dissertation gain by including this article? What is the articles contribution to knowledge? How can this information be integrated into your review? Compare and contrast to similar articles for or against/ or an extension of the literature? Are there recommendations for further research? Where is the article placed in your field? Famous author? Is the article well written, interesting and easy to read? Is there a clear research question can it be tested? What methods are used to carry out research Is the design appropriate for testing the stated hypothesis? What are the limitations of the design/research methods? Are there aspects of the design that could be applied to your work? Are the results well displayed and clear? Are the results in keeping with the design? Are the implications of the study clear? Have the results been appropriately discussed?

A typical research paper (from a conference or journal) consists of the following parts;

Title, Abstract, Introduction, Methodology, Results and Bibliography.

Literature Comprehension

Literature Map You are going to have to put some structure on the literature, one suggestion is to create a literature map. Write the title of your research on top, and the main topics relevant to your research underneath, now associate the papers you are reading with each of the topics.

Literature Map

Literature Map

Literature Review

Literature Review

The literature review is the process of consolidating the various strands of past research into a single narrative describing the evolution of the research domain.

Literature Review

There are checklists provided to assist you in this task, one that deals with the evaluation of a research paper we ave already seen, and the other which deals with questions to reflect upon regarding the overall structure of the literature review chapter in a dissertation.

Literature Review

Literature Review Chapter

http://www.comp.dit.ie/dgordon/CheckSheets/LitReviewCheckSheet.doc

Literature Review

The questions of this checksheet are: Has the student laid the foundations for his/her work why it is important that they pursue their topic? Have they been able to show a gap in the literature (more important for PhDs but still a good idea)? Is the nature/type of the research clear? Is the work well written, interesting and easy to read? Does the literature review read like a list of studies or does it build their point/arguments. Is the work simply a repeat or cut and paste of others work? Are key researchers and important works included? Examples of other good literature surveys? Have they set out orthogonal issues? Has research been examined for both content and methods? Have studies been compared and contrasted? Has the literature been extended? Has the student been critical in all areas of the research (design) and not just examined the results? Is it a students literature review aimed at supporting their research, rather than just being a review of the literature? Is each section important? Do they explain how that topic contributes to building a cohesive argument/point Has the work explored what methods are used to carry out research in other studies? Are the limitations of the design/research methods discussed? Are there recommendations for further research?

Literature Review

The underlying (or hidden) theme of the narrative is to show that there is a gap in the existing research and how your work will address this problem.

Literature Review

The review itself is the final piece of the puzzle, it is a matter of tying together all the previous research that you have found and reviewed, and producing an artifact that is not just all those reviews put together, but a coherent and cohesive narrative of the research to date, and a narrative that points to a gap in the research that your work intends to fill. It also contextualises the work in the broader research scope.

Literature Review

The first step in this process is to consider each article that you have reviewed, is it significant enough to go into the review ? How do you evaluate that ? The answer is simple ; does it help build towards the gap in the research you are identifying ? or to put it another way, could you take this article out and it wouldnt make any difference ?

Literature Review

The articles should group together into research trends so you should list the articles by this grouping and see which ones are important. Your literature map will help with identifying the key themes. The review does not have to be in chronological order, but rather in the order the most clearly shows the trends in this field.

Literature Review

Remember that writing is not necessarily a linear process, write what sections you know about, when you know about them. As with all of the writing that you will be doing for you dissertation, there will be many drafts of the literature review chapter, so it is best to write far too much first and then you can cut down, therefore you should include many of the questions for each article in the first draft of your work and chip away at it a piece at a time.

Literature Review

I recommend a 5 by 5 approach. Read five papers, and the accompanying checksheets, now write five lines about each paper (note: not five sentences, five lines of font size 12 text). Do this ten times.

Five by five

Literature Review

The research should be seen as the zenith of the cumulative process of the scientific research that has already been done. Then the process becomes a matter of making these disparate stories into one single narrative, with one theme : there is something missing in the research to date that you are going to address.

Literature Review

The structure of the literature review will be the same as that of any document, it has a

beginning, middle and end.

Literature Review

The beginning or introduction will introduce the main research topics and provide definitions for key concepts that are important to your research definitions that support your approach taken in the research.

Literature Review

The end or conclusion will be that there has been a great deal of work done in this area, but there is a gap in the work that your research will address.

Literature Review

The middle part of the literature review, can be presented in a number of ways, depending on your personal preferences, the main research trends must be discussed, key researchers must be identified, and the work must spiral from its research beginnings towards the research gap that you are going to fill.

Literature Review

The general research topics you discuss must lead logically to the specific research that you are undertaking. So if we go back to the T-Shaped structure:

2D Analysis
Breadth of Research

Depth of Research

2D Analysis

2D Analysis

Finding your eye of the storm

Literature Review

It may be the case that the trends in the research in your domain fall into two opposing camps, the for-and-against type paradigm, This being the case, whichever side your work is on, make sure that you present the merits of each side, this gives your readers a balanced view of the domain, and gives them the impression of a researcher who can take a sophisticated perspective on matters.

Literature Review

Lets look at a simple example:

Literature Review

TEXT: Although little research has been done on the influence of movies on the public perception of hacking, researchers have investigated other topics in computer science, for example, Bartneck (2004) looks at how movies represent robots and robotics and in particular how these movies help contribute to the general publics behaviours to real-life robots. Similarly Schmitz et al. (2008) look at models of computer interfaces presented in movies, and considers the viability of such interfaces in real-life. Also, Fisher (2001) looks at how artificial intelligence has been represented in the movies and how this may impact on the public perception of artificial intelligences. In general the public perception of computer science is strongly influenced by movie representations. REFERENCES: Bartneck, C. (2004).
