Let’s look at two samples:

1. Doctoral sample 2. Student sample

Open the Doctoral sample

in this week’s folder:

Treasure hunt!

1. Find each part of a basic paper

in the Table of Contents

(When will you get YOUR doctorate??)

Please, open the student sample

in your Content Page.

Treasure hunt!

1. Find each part of a basic paper

Now please find the Literature Review portion of the student sample

As you see, a literature review consists of 3 parts

3 parts

1. Introduction to the Literature Review

BUT…

ALMOST!

To make your literature review “flow,” you will need to see what is the same and what is different among your articles: (Remember the student sample treasure hunt?)

• like

• similar to

• also

• in the same way

• at the same time

• unlike

• in contrast

• contrasted with

• on the contrary

• while…

compare and contrast

Ready, Set, GO!

1. Pull up your Excel Research Tracker and read the WHY column to determine what order to put your articles in.

(You may find you have two with a similar purpose, for example, and you put those together.)

Congratulations! You just completed the necessary work to help you determine the order of articles for your Review of Literature!

1. Introduction Paragraph for the Literature Review

2. Review of Literature

3. Analysis of Literature

This black box is a 3-minute video on how to split your screen.

Please watch it now for an effective workshop time.

Please pull up the assignment in which you had your title and references page (Week #6)

You will use this to start building your final research paper

Called your Working Final Document

Please have this as half of your screen so you can - watch the PowerPoint

- AND work at the same time

In your Working Final Document,

Create appropriate level headings to guide your

reader as in the next slide

(Title your headings according to your research

question)

Level Headings

Student research question:

What have researchers learned about racial disparities in outcomes among pregnant women in the United States and ways to mitigate them?

Headings related to research question variables:

Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Factors

Approaches to Improving Pregnancy Outcomes

See next slide for example

headings in the student sample of the paper

1

2

3

Approaches to Improving Pregnancy Outcomes 3

Please create yours now Put an emoji in the chat bar when ready to continue

Now please copy and paste your REVISED objective summaries under the relevant Level 3 heading you just created.

See next slide

Like this!

A Note about your Review of the Literature!

In a FULL-length research paper, each level 3

heading would include at least three research articles.

But,

as this is a foundations course, you will provide

a total of 3 research articles,

under a minimum of two level 3 headers.

Check the Flow!

Is organized by findings, geography, methodology, or time?

Uses all three heading levels to help your readers find their way?

Uses transition words like compare/contrast words so the reader sees

the flow from article to article?

Sample comparison words Sample contrast words

…similar to… …different from…

…like… …however…

…also… …on the other hand…

Uses the student sample to help you check yourself?

Now…. Workshop! Write Part 2 of the Review of

Literature!!!

1st paragraph is the objective summary of the first research article

2nd paragraph starts with a citation and a transition phrase to

explain how this article is similar to, or different from, the 1st research

article. Then it continues with the objective summary of the second

research article ending with a citation

3rd paragraph starts with a citation and a transition phrase to

Explain how this article it is similar to, or different from, the 2nd

research article. Then it continues with the objective summary of the third research article ending with a citation
