1. WHAT IS RESEARCH AND IT IMPORTANCE?

the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish
facts and reach new conclusions.

Research is essential to find out which treatments work better for patients. ... Research can
find answers to things that are unknown, filling gaps in knowledge and changing the way that
healthcare professionals work. Some of the common aims for conducting research studies
are to: Diagnose diseases and health problems.

6. HOW LITERATURE REVIEW DIFFER FOR QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE STUDIES

In qualitative research the literature should be used in a manner consistent

with the methodology assumptions. It should be used inductively so that it
does not direct the questions asked by the researcher.

A literature review in quantitative IS: An integrated synthesis drawing upon a

select list of academic sources (mainly journal articles) with a strong relation
to the topic in question. It is a paper that includes a description AND a critical
evaluation of past research. ... Focused on a particular question or area of
research.

7. SAMPLES OF THE SYSTEMATIC AND STUDY BY STUDY WRITING OF LITERATURE REVIEW.

answer a clearly formulated question (Dewey, A. & Drahota, A. ... It involves planning a well thought
out search strategy which has a specific focus or answers a defined question.

A systematic review is a summary of the medical literature that uses explicit and reproducible
methods to systematically search, critically appraise, and synthesize on a specific issue. It
synthesizes the results of multiple primary studies related to each other by using strategies that
reduce biases and random errors.8. WHAT RESEARCH DESIGNS/METHODS ARE BEST FOR PROJECT
