Methodological Information From research projects (as previously discussed) Summaries of research Books on measurement and existing tools for measuring variables 10/27/2010 8 Slide 9: Opinions Good for background Generally not cited except when given by very well known and respected scholar Anecdotes and clinical description Again, good for background but not used in written literature review 10/27/2010 9 Depth of Information : Depth of Information Depends on several factors: How much is written on a topic How broad the problem is – how many variable Experience of researcher For your projects: emphasize quality references not quantity 10/27/2010 10 Type of Sources : Type of Sources Primary Source = description of a project written by the author who conducted the project Secondary Source = description of study by someone other than the original researcher 10/27/2010 11 Methods for conducting the Literature Review : Methods for conducting the Literature Review Electronic databases – CINAHL- Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature – 1982 to present; covers all English language and many foreign languages nursing journals, as well as books, book chapters, dissertations, conference proceedings, etc.; on computer; one of the most useful to nurses 10/27/2010 12 Slide 13: Medline Begin with the most recent and search backwards-usually begin with subject search; can also use textword search or author search Cochrane Database ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) – on computer EMBASE (Excerpta Medical database) PsycINFO (Psychology Information) 13 Conducting and Writing a Literature Review : Conducting and Writing a Literature Review Identify references Locate references Evaluate references for quality and appropriateness – read critically Discard poor references – this is sometimes hard to do when you’ve gone to a lot of trouble to get one Abstract and Record notes on good references Use index cards Full citation for bibliography Problem statement or hypothesis Theoretical framework Key methods Key findings 14 Write the review of the literature : Write the review of the literature Summarize the literature in your own words. do not use extensive quotes or strings of abstracts. Group related studies and summarize them. Go into more detail on your best references Be objective. Don’t leave out important references because you don’t like their approach or results Finish with a summary of the problem and include what has been studied and where your study fits into the knowledge base. Give more details on the more important studies. 10/27/2010 15 Slide 16: 10/27/2010 16 You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
