Doing Literature Reviews: A General Guideline for Novice Researchers
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper illuminates the what, why and how of literature review and offers a novel framework for conducting and writing an effective literature review. The proposed framework follows the systematic data processing approach comprised of five sub-processes: 1) contextualization, 2) searching, 3) selection, 4) extraction and 5) reporting of the final write-up. This paper explains the rationale for developing a robust systematic literature review including detailed instructions on how to search for and evaluate quality literature.
