Offered online via Skype

Minimum entrance requirement:

- Thesis topic/direction/keywords/argument & assumptions
- Electronic & downloaded copies of peer reviewed key texts for review or printed out ones.

Content: Input, tables and notes on what a literature review is, and how to decide what sort of one to construct, depending on your discipline. Once this input it given, students are facilitated and guided to write the headings related to this into a file, and to start writing their review, depending where they are in the process: argument writing, organising what's been read, structuring the review itself.

Notes on possible structures, organising table structures, and search tool files plus the powerpoint, will all be made available to those who have signed up - via the chat function. 

There will be a brief overview of some techniques and tools for mapping the “shape” of the literature – finding out when your topic was written about and how the literature developed over time, in what countries or disciplines – and identifying the most highly cited or most prolific writers on your topic and the key journals discussing that topic. This knowledge will help you tell the story of the development of literature on this topic.

The presenter and a librarian will be there to assist. Most of the session will be participants writing/working on your literature review, once the input has been given, and you may ask the facilitator and librarian questions regarding your work.
