    Concept of Literature Review

    A literature review is the comprehensive and analytical study of the


    books , past studies and articles related to the research issues for
    getting ideas about methodology and research gaps.
    Importance of Literature Review

    • Identifying research topic: finds out the untouched area or areas of


    contradiction
    • Developing ideas to collect data: gives idea that how similar nature
    of researches was collected data
    • Knowing methods of data analysis: gives idea of most permanent
    tool for analysis in given set of data
    • Know the research design: Gets idea about appropriate design
    • Assessing the success of various research design: evaluate the result
    of various research designs that help to find out success of various
    research designs.
    Purpose and Functions of Literature Review

    • To know the research conducted in the chosen field


    • To identify the gap
    • To develop theoretical framework
    • To develop research design
    • To update on current issues
    • To know the methods of data analysis
    • To know the research design
    • To assess the success of various research designs
    Sources of Literature Review

    • Books
    • Research articles
    • Abstracts
    • Reports
    • Dissertation
    • Directories
    • The internet
    Phases in Literature Review

    • Identifying the relevant sources: helps to know the source of


    appropriate materials
    • Obtaining literatures: Helps to get the literatures available
    • Reading: researcher should select materials, find the related facts and
    note down the required information.
    • Extracting the relevant information: Taking information that are useful
    to the study
    • Evaluating the contents of the literatures: Materials collected are to be
    evaluated so as to find out the prominent materials
    • Writing up the literature review: Managing the materials in proper
    format.
    Evaluating the Literature

    • Accuracy: Check the accuracy based on the nature of the study


    • Author: Prominent author or not
    • Publisher : Prominent publisher or not
    • Scope: Scope of the previous study and your study differs or not
    • Style
    • Use of methodology:
    • Illustrations, tables and diagrams
    • Update information.
    Qualities of a Good Literature Review

    • Fact information: should have correct name of author, date of


    publication and the findings.
    • Note: write down the objectives and the major findings
    • Evidence : Must be supported by evidence
    • Evaluation: evaluate every material
    • Use of appropriate words:
    • Reference list: must contain the reference list covering all used
    materials
    Meta Analysis

    The term Meta Analysis refers to an analysis of analysis. Generally in


    traditional literature review researchers searched information from
    variety of sources including in-house and out-house documents
    (internet, libraries),, etc.
    Purposes of Meta Analysis

    • To establish statistical significance with studies that have conflicting


    results.
    • To develop a more correct estimate of effect magnitude.
    • To provide a more complex analysis related to harm, safety, benefits,
    etc.
    • To examine sub-groups with individual members that are not
    statistically significant.
    Process/Steps in Meta Analysis
    • Identifying the relevant variables: find out the variables that are to
    be analyzed under study
    • Locating the relevant research: locate all the literature whether they
    are in-house or out-house
    • Conducting meta analysis
    a. Comparing study: can compare with the methods and findings of
    different studies
    b. Combining studies: Related studies are to be combined and draw
    the results.
