BUS-7100 v1: Scholarly Literature Review (6760019724)

Managing References

Managing your sources is a major task in writing a literature review. You will search

through hundreds of sources to complete the full literature review during the dissertation.

It is a good idea to begin saving your articles now and to return to any applicable articles

you found during classes, and then add them to the system you create this week for

managing your articles or the library you create this week.

You will explore different software programs that guide you in developing a system that

works best for you. It is important to find a system early and add all articles to this as you

may need to add articles that you did not add; this will be applicable later on in chapter 2.

You will want to avoid having to backtrack through a site for an article that went missing.

This is lost time and very frustrating, and it may cause you to delete content from your

chapter if the article is not ever found.

Remember, even if you paraphrase information this must be referenced and credit given

to the source. The research found on the web must also be sourced by adding the web

address. Your work will go through Turnitin for plagiarism and originality. Be sure you

document all the content you find through research. Additionally, charts, diagrams,

pictures, etc. must all be cited with the source. In a literature review, you are not allowed

to cite yourself. A few tools to check out are RefWorks, EndNote, Mendeley, and Zotero.

Be sure the version you choose is free.

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

information from these resources when you prepare your assignments.
