1. The importance of the relationships between studies in a literature review is being connected to the work we are assigned or the one we choose ourselves. This will help us organize your literature review. You will be more prepared for the research. It is critical to find new facts on the topic and conclude in our own words in the review. You should always look at the references or the bibliography of the research for more information they received the research from. Typing key words of the study on the Kean’s library website, or American Psychological Association (APA) is a good source of scholars research it states “Scientific research conducted by psychologists, organized by topics here, can inform and guide those seeking help with issues that affect their professional lives, family relationships and emotional wellness.“ (2020) Internet resources are a great source of finding connections on researches available, It would be beneficial to your work to find what is available. The new information on the review would entail a review that has not been talked about before. It is important and useful to scholars to gain new knowledge that they couldn’t find, or even people doing research for personal reasons. My literature research can help and change someone’s peace of mind and help them better understand the topic they were struggling to find an answer to. It’s all about getting that information out there, all my findings, take my time, write notes, be very focused and detailed in my research have its standout. Most important do not create plagiarism, give credit to scholars who did hard work for their research.
2. “Relationships between studies” in a literature review help identify the “old” and the “new” in reference to using historical literature as well as current information. More importantly, not only knowing where to find the information but how to read and apply the literature to a paper. The more sources you consider (i.e. Kean Library, APA 7th ed.) the more options you have. Once you choose a topic or topics you are able to then pull together the theme and questions to compare. The theme is basically the “main idea” of the story. Understanding and critiquing the story allows you to plan and outline the reading material to have a clear view of how you can compare and come up with questions between two studies. The questions are derived from knowing what type of literature review is being written and understanding the information. Some questions require more research. This information would be beneficial to the topics chosen because when outlined properly it will give more substance to the paper that is being written. I would aim to keep the attention of the reader. The information whether chosen from the use of an article or book, I would need to determine if I have enough research to begin writing. Discovering the theme, formulating, and researching questions also benefit the topic because it allows one to stay focused on the topic at hand.
3. The relationship between studies in a literature review is a "comprehensive study and interpretation of literature that addresses a specific topic" (Aveyard, 2010). Identifying these relationships will allow one to better critique and have a better understanding on how using research and other methods can help investigate a certain area. With this kind of research one can also evaluate and interpret the meaning of context's that they have taken in. In order to find themes or questions you must pay attention to detail and also read any preface or abstracts that are provided. Understanding the plot and being able to come to a summarized story can form for a conscientious ability to create meaningful themes and questions. The information gathered and understood would be beneficial to the topic because it gives a better grasp on the literature and the effects and consequences of what can arise from certain scenarios presented.
4. The purpose of a literature review is to present and to critically assess a piece of literature or a given topic. The literature review you write should be written in a form of a story about the topic that you chose. Literature review answerers the question that you posed, based on your knowledge, intense research on the topic, as well as previously written papers. Our handbook suggests, once you have your topic and start doing research on it, pay close attention to the reference page or the bibliography (Kuther, 2015). Those two things alone can give you an idea where to look for information on your topic further. It is suggested that journal articles, newspapers, media, and credible websites be used for an article review. Websites that end in: .org, .edu, .gov. .us, are trustworthy. However, most professor will look for citations of psychology journal articles. Another great place to start is Psychology dictionaries or encyclopedias, because it gives the reader a quick overview of the article before doing further research. An overview or an abstract most often contains the theme or the purpose of the article, which helps the reader entail whether it's useful information or not for their specific topic. The most important thing to avoid when writing a literature review is plagiarism, putting your name or giving your self credit on someone else's hard work
