Discussion Post I

Since a critical step in preparing to complete a dissertation topic for research begins by having a good understanding of the most current, supportive literature, the literature review is usually found at the beginning of a dissertation and then is referred to throughout the rest of the writings.

There are many steps in accurately preparing and writing a literature review. The eight steps listed by the required reading reflect upon the two steps you feel are the most important in such review's success.

The 8 steps from the textbook:

1) Identify keywords or descriptors.
2) Create a search query.
3) Identify relevant literature sources.
4) Search the literature and collect relevant materials.
5) Critically read and analyze the literature.
6) Synthesize the literature.
7) Organize the literature.
8) Write the literature review.

Discussion Post II

Select two additional steps and explain why these are also key parts of the literature review process. Use information from your readings to support your selection, along with providing some examples of how this would be seen by both the researcher and the reader.
