dude this is driving me crazy instead of travelling the world and having fun i'm here struggling to write a literature review

I thought I was the only one struggling. Good luck to all of you too. We are all in this together

Tip: Always start with reviews, you can mix up their themes, maybe one review didnt do this but the other did.See whats been strongly estbalished thru time, and check if theyve mentioned controversial parts or gaps of your topic. From this, check recent (past five year-journals about these gaps and where do they stand. Also, literature review is quite overwhelming at first given the large amount of information youre gonna see especially for the younger generation given their access to sci-hub, which can put you in a psychological rut. Not just to comfort you, but also as a professional tip- YOU DONT NEED TO WRITE EVERYTHING YOU KNOW, OR EVERYTHING ABOUT THE TOPIC. Coherence and transition that will support why your doing a specific study is more important, moreover sufficient. If you see an underlying pattern in terms of method or conclusion lets say among 3-5 studies, try to explain this pattern in 1 paragraph. You dont need to write how those authors got the results in detail, unless you see a clash between two papers, then maybe you can re-evaluate their differences in method.

four approaches to structure the literature review: 1.) chronological: from older to recent publications 2.) thematic: organized around key themes 3.) methodological: compare research methods used across studies 4.) theoretical: discuss opposing theories or models Introduction Main body that summarizes and synthesizies Conclusion

*"Writing the literature review might be easier than you think"* *"no need to panic"* me: *staring at my screen for almost half a day* also me: *fantasizing on how i would end my teacher's career and possibly the whole world just because of a fricking research proposal* Edit: I manage to pass it, a few minutes after deadline. slept like a log.

This video has superb clarity. But sometimes the simple things become the most overwhelming. It is correct that we can break a literature review down to structural components. But the modern students who I teach (there are 500 on my university of York dissertation module), are faced and burdened with limitless access to knowledge, and the fields of literature become endless. The student has to navigate a constant tension between chaos and order. I find examples help, so students can see the limits and horizons before them. My students asked me to post examples up, so this is what I did on my channel, it was originally intended for my own students, but there are now there for all to see. Good luck everyone - Dr Mark Egan

I just started my literature review from today and I was in hyper panic mode until I heard from you -it's just simple and not to panic, made me calm down. Thank you.

NO FCKING WAY IM GONNA FINISH THIS IN 9 HOURS 😭😭😭

Ive been crying and stressing about this for the past week.. THANK YOU!!! This was so helpful, i feel calm now

Learnt more from this video than I have from my lecturer the last 2 months, thank you 🙌

Great video! In my experience as an academic writing teacher, literature review is one of the things many students struggle with.

I had to start my literature review today and I got no sleep last night because I felt like I had no idea wtf I was doing. Thank you so so so soooooo much for this playlist! I'm subscribing!

Based on my experience and the research tutorials I have been making on my KZfaq channel and offline, I can say that students and researchers should have the following knowledge and mindset: 1) Literature reviews should be a fun a process to be well versed in the niche you like to study about. Journal articles are reviewed unlike social media posts that may contain misinformation; 2) There are many sources to learn about different types of literature review: Online the time and willingness are needed; 3) New AI tools are used to make your academic life easy, but students should learn from that. There are other reasons ...

Just in time for my assignment, thank you!

gonna laugh at my kid when they struggle at doing research

Thank you for putting this into such a short, succinct video. Currently have nine days to complete my UG Diss and this has really helped! 🙏

Got assigned a 4 page literature review in research methods in the last week of my freshman year of high school, so here I am😭

The literature review has always been a pain in the head. Especially that we are now in a pandemic, students (such as I) have problems in collecting the necessary number of sources. Thanks, Ms! I enjoyed the video. And thank you for being a big help to those who are struggling.

I'm feel so dumb after many levels of finding many literature reviews Can't relate with my research 😭😭

Thank you for putting the info in such a short video! I've had research on how to write this thing for 2 full months and here I am a day before the deadline learning more from you than from my teacher..

when i do my literature reviews, it just feels like I'm copying from my source's literature reviews.

have been to 10+ lectures, and this 3 min video have teached me more than all the lectures..

Jessica from Scribbr deserves a medal! Invaluable in these times of (mini) crises!

This video explains it better than my professor's two hour lecture.

I learned my academic skills from your website since i was in bachelor, and now m in master program. Thanks Scribbr

My anxiety went down 15 seconds in this video!!! Thank you!!!

I have become a great fan of you Jessica. The way you explain the things; the way you illustrate . It has made the Literature Review Writing Process as easy as smile and as simple as possible. If you were here, I would propose you.

I this this is my first comment on a video but I needed to say thank you for this series! So helpful in writing my undergrad dissertation

The new book "Where Research Begins: Choosing a Research Project That Matters to You (and the World)" (Chicago, 2022) is a good place to start if you're struggling with getting started on a research project. Chapter 5 especially is useful on Literature Reviews.

That was so helpful and yet so short! Thank you so much for the clarity!

I'm so dumb!! I cant start 😭😭

i have to redo my literature review in 2 days and this is SO helpful. Thank you for telling me not to panic
