CBEP Literature Review – Pre-submission check list

This CBEP-specific checklist should be read and used in conjunction with the assessment grid (module booklet, p. 21) and the general checklist (slide 14, lecture 3). Please note that this list does not include all aspects of the literature review but simply those which some students have in the past tended to neglect or ignore. It also does not include aspects which are optional, such as the inclusion of an original model or framework.

General

· I have saved the work in pdf format as required

· I have edited, spell-checked and proof-read my work.

· I have included all the sections required [see lecture 2 slides for details, and the module booklet, pp. 13-14], including an abstract and contents page.

· I have used a consistent font and heading/sub-heading structure throughout.

· I have complied with the formatting requirements specified in the module handbook (pp. 13-14).

· I am confident that the work is original, all my own, and that I have always referenced my sources appropriately.

Introduction

· I have included an account of my own methodology [in other words, the criteria you used to select your sources].

· I have introduced the structure of the literature review and have justified the choice of themes.

Themes

· I have signposted sufficiently, and have included an introduction and conclusion: either to this section as a whole, or to each theme.

· I have shown the relation between the sources cited and have not just produced a descriptive list of the sources’ findings.

Methodology

· I have reviewed the methods/methodologies used in the literature as a whole, in line with the briefing note on Blackboard.

Implications for Practice

· I have followed the suggested structure and content for this section [as per the briefing note on Blackboard], or have used a structure I consider improves upon that suggested.

Conclusion

· I have identified strengths and weaknesses of the literature as a whole.

· I have identified gaps in the literature and areas for future research.

References

· I have checked that all the references in the text are listed in the reference list.

· I have checked that all the references in the reference list are cited in the text.
