When writing, I recommend breaking the lit review into four parts:
1. Intro and conclusion statements; a. Intro-list key authors you used b. List key search terms you used c. List all the libraries and data bases you used d. Chapter 2 has a conclusion and a summary i. Conclusion: mention everything you wrote in the chapter:1-2 pages ii. Summary: a transition to the next chapter 2. Part 1. Historical perspective of your problem 7-10 pages a. Go back to where it began b. Trace the evolution forward c. About 5-7 pages 3. The Meat of Your Problem 7-10 pages a. What is happening b. Other research on the problem c. Other methodology used to delve into problem d. Similar but different research on problem 4. The catch-all portion 7-10 pages a. Alternate viewpoints b. Tie in your theoretical framework c. What do you expect to find Remember: Your sources must be 85% within 5 years of the day the dean signs your dissertation and 95% must be peer reviewed or books. Secondary sources are discouraged and some committee members will not allow them at all (no—as cited by).
