Where Am I Let us keep on track, without looking at your previous work, try to write down your research title along with your formulated research questions. This activity ensures that you know exactly your craft.  Did you ever try to find related studies in order to formulate your research title and even your research questions? What is literature review?  Literature review is an academic text that provides an overview of a particular topic. It helps identify what is known and not known about a certain subject of study. It involves the use of synthesis of several scholarly works.  in short, Literature review provides an overview of what bhas been written about a specific topic. It has several functions such as: 1. It establishes the relevance of the study. 2. It further helps in establishing the research gap that the study intends to fill.  3. It provides important information about your topic and the concepts related to it. 4. It presents the contradictions between and among previous literature.  5. It justifies your research methodology. 6. It presents and discusses your theoretical frameworks which are the backbone of your study.  How should you select RELEVANT LITERATURE?  Let us be guided by the 4Wh+1H questions in selecting literature cited by Lee et al. (2014). 1.Who Who is the author? Make sure that the full name of the author is visible on the website or seen on the page. Along with the author’s name, find out his/her affiliations by determining his or her educational background and field of expertise. As a researcher, take time to know whether the author is a student, professor, a researcher or a book writer. The school where the author is working or studying may also help you in determining the credibility of the author in the field of study.  Who published the material? Check whether the publisher is a legitimate publication by looking at its publication policies and guidelines. You may go online to check list of predatory journal publication (https://predatoryjournals.com/journals/ ) Predatory journal publications have no room in scientific/scholarly research since they do not follow the ethics in producing academic work.  Who are the experts cited and acknowledged in the actual paper? Take time to read the material by checking out if the paper cited primary source which is more preferred than the secondary source. There are known authors in the field that should be cited in the actual paper. 2.What What was said about your research topic? Get the gist of other’s work by initially reading the research abstract. In this way, you can easily discriminate whether the literature is relevant to your present work. As a researcher, be mindful of determining the claims of the author and check out if such claims agree or disagree to other author’s claim that you have already read on. Use concept map or graphic organizers to easily compare and contrast several works.  What is the mode of the material? Make sure that you can easily determine the type of source being read. You should easily determine if the material is a book, blog, journal, e-journal, periodical or an internet article. It should be noted that some online materials are editable, do not consider them as part of your sources. Choose indexed and refereed journal publication. 3. When When was the material published? Research books would tell you that relevant literature should be published within the last five to 10 years; however, according to Lee et al (2014), this should not be applied at all times. 4. Where Where was the material published? Take note of the place of publication as this is part of reference citation.  Where will you place the material? Relevant literature is not solely placed in Chapter 2 Literature Review of your actual paper. It can be found everywhere (i.e. introduction, framework, data commentary, Literature Review) ;hence, it is imperative that you know exactly where to include your selected literature. 5. Why Why is the material necessary? As a researcher you may feel overwhelmed with so many available materials that you can see in the internet. Learn to discern by evaluating if the source is highly relevant to the present work. Always use your research variable as your key terms in locating possible sources. 6. How How will the material affect the discussion? Too much citations of authorities may make you lose your voice as the author of the paper. Balance other’s work, citing one author frequently is not a good habit. Let your voice be heard in your research paper. Let us summarize! Who? Know the author’s affiliation. What? Conceptualize the sources by determining such claims are similar or different. When? Determine the date of publication. Where? Identify the place of publication. Why? Find the relevance of the sources to the present study. How? Let your voice be heard in your actual paper. Characteristics of a Good Literature Review  Materials must be: 1. as recent as possible. 2. as objective and unbiased as possible. 3. relevant to the study. 4. too few but nor too many.  Performance Task The class will be divided into 3. Group 1: Paper Trail Group 2: Electronic Trail Group 3: Human Trail Write the FULL NAME of your members in 1/2 crosswise. Rubrics  GROUP 1 Find an article about stress in a personal development book. Questions: How does the author define stress? Who wrote the article? What is the name of the book? When was the book published?  Group 2 Search online for information about stress using resources like PubMed, Google Scholar, or others. Questions: What is the name of the article or resource? What are the key points? How does the resource define stress?  Group 3 Task: Interview classmates about stress. Questions: How the participants define stress? What are some common stressors among students? How do participants manage stress? Types of sources: 1.Human Trail – The researchers may conduct interview on related topics with authorities or primary sources of information.  2.Paper Trail – The researchers may use secondary materials written and published by foreign and local authors in the form of books, journals, magazines and other printed documents. Unpublished Theses, Dissertations and other Independent Studies (Local and Foreign) related to present research may be used by the researchers.  3. Electronic Trail – The researchers may use internet in generating related information through various search engines such as google, facebook etc. Excerpts from program aired/shown in the electronic media radio/TV/film/documentary may also be used.  BOOKS - A collection of books that provides information about a certain topic.  Magazines- A popular work published periodically focusing on a specific subject of interest.  Newspaper- a periodical publication containing news, events, interview and opinion article.  Computer- a collection of electronic materials that provides information about a certain topic,  Journal- A scholarly worked published periodically containing highly classified research.  Film/You Tube videos-a motion picture/movie or videos. Can be fictional or documentary.  Citing Related Literature Using Standard Style Referencing Styles  APA- (American Psychological Association) an author/date based style. This means emphasis is placed on the author and the date of a piece of work to uniquely identify it. Parts of Citation A citation is a reference to a source that you have used in your work. It is essential to cite your sources to avoid plagiarism and to give credit to the original authors.  The specific parts of a citation can vary depending on the citation style you are using (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago). However, most citations will include the following elements:  Essential Elements Author: The name of the person or organization responsible for creating the work. Title: The name of the work. Publication Information This can include the publisher, date of publication, and location of publication for books, or the journal name, volume, issue, and page numbers for articles. APA Style: MLA- is most often applied in the arts and humanities, paricularly in the USA HARVARD- is very similar to APA. It is the well used referencing style in the UK and Australia.  CHICAGO and TURABIAN- are two separate styles but very similar. They are most widely used for history and economics.  Directions: Select 2 out of 3 sources for the research topic given.
