A literature review is a key step in an academic research. As a general rule, appropriate research projects don't drop from heaven and hit you on the head. You must be sufficiently knowledgeable about your topic of interest to know what projects might make important contributions to the field. Reading literature is always helpful for novice and expert researchers because literature gives us a theoretical base on which to build a rationale for the study.

In this homework, you will develop a literature review or synthesis matrix of sources associated with the topic you selected in the Research Process, Topic, Problem Statement, and Research Questions or Hypotheses discussion this week. Research at least five peer-reviewed articles in the Ashford University Library that were published within the last 5 years. You will complete your literature review of your five sources. For information on how to complete a synthesis matrix, review the Ashford Writing Center's resource, Synthesis Matrix.
