Week 2

BUS-7100 v1: Scholarly Literature Review (6760019724)

Strategies for Reading and Notes

This week, you will begin to search for articles and determine if an article is a good fit for

a topic. This would be a good time to begin thinking about a possible topic for your own

research and dissertation. Along with researching articles, you will also determine a

method to keep notes of your search. This may sound simple, however, chapter 2 in the

dissertation is the literature review and it is a minimum of 40 to 80 pages with over 100

references or typically 8-10 pages of references.

You will learn the importance of how to critically read articles. When reviewing articles,

you will discover hundreds or even thousands of articles about a topic. Understanding

how to read critically and take notes will be displayed by you in this week’s assignment.

Read all the resources and articles in this week’s work. Observe the different approaches

to scanning an article for alignment to the topic.

Critiquing an article is paramount for the literature review. You will begin the task of

creating ‘depth’ to your topic by reviewing many articles in the general area of your topic.

Your job will be to narrow down and stay focused on the topic. It is a good idea to keep

track of all articles that interest you, and then narrow your list of articles as you find

better articles. To critique an article, search for the author's main points. Determine the

argument the author is laying out. Then, compare the argument with the facts the author

gives. (The sources this author cites are important as well as checking the reference page

for other paths to follow.)

Be sure to review this week's resources carefully. You are expected to apply the

information from these resources when you prepare your assignments.

Techniques for Notes Assignment

Create a procedure to follow for reviewing article abstracts. This can be similar to a

standard operating procedure or in a format you prefer. A flow chart or similar model can

also be used. Assume you will use this method when you begin your own chapter 2.

Begin your procedure with the following:

1. Include at least three steps for determining if the abstract has the main points
