DISCUSSION
Once you’ve chosen your research topic or research title, you will start looking for
literature needed to support your research study. This learning activity plan will focus on
the review of related literature. In doing your research paper, conducting and writing
your review of related literature is necessary to provide information and concepts
related to research topic. Let us now start by discussing what is review of related
literature?

WHAT IS LITERATURE REVIEW?

 A literature review is an academic text that provides an overview of a particular topic.
It helps to identify what is known and not known about a certain subject of study. It
involves the use of higher order-thinking skills, such as the review, evaluation, and
synthesis of several scholarly works. These scholarly works include journal articles,
professional books, online sources, and specialized references.

A literature review is an integral part of any research paper and serves several
functions. First, it establishes the relevance of the study. Second, it further helps in
establishing the research gap that the study intends to fill. Third, a literature review
provides important information about your topic and concepts related to it. Fourth, it
presents the contradictions between and among previous literature. Fifth, it justifies your
research methodology, as its effectiveness may be determined by survey of previous
studies relevant to your research. Finally, it presents and discusses your theoretical and
conceptual frameworks which are the backbone of your study.

The literature review is not merely a list of every item and resource with any possible
relation to your topic, no matter how tenuous. It focuses on those resources and
materials that are directly to the addressing of your topic and as such as, highly
selective. A literature review is focused on a particular question or area of research. It is
narrowly focused to concentrate only on relevant materials. It is NOT a summary of
available materials without any critical description or component, or an annotated
bibliography.
Let us now find the differences between Literature Review and Annotated Bibliograpy.

LITERATURE REVIEW VS. ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

What are the differences between Literature Review and Annotated review? They are
different in purpose and format.
Differences in PURPOSE

A literature review makes a case for further investigation and research, highlighting
gaps in knowledge and asking questions that need to be answered for the betterment of
the discipline; as such, its contents are selected to make the case.

An annotated bibliography is a list of what is available in a given field, accompanied

by a short description. While it may feature a critical component, the criticism is
generally directed at the quality of the work, rather than its value in answering a
particular question or buttressing an argument. In short, a literature review usually has a
thesis or statement of purpose, stated implied, at its core.

Differences in FORMAT
A Literature review is a prose document similar to a journal article or essay, not a list
of citation and descriptions. It is often has a subscription that highlight themes within the
literature review.

An annotated bibliography is simply that a bibliography (list of works or resources)

accompanied by annotations. The annotations are usually short descriptions and a brief
critical assessment of each work. (Sta Clara University, 2017)

SYNTHESIS

 5.2 How to Write Literature Review?

At the end of the learning experiences, the learner will be able to:

 Cite related literature using a standard style; and

 Apply the ethical standards in writing literature review.
ACTIVITY

Put a check mark under “yes” or “no” depending whether the statement is your
practice in writing literature review.

Practices in writing literature review yes no

I only select reliable references which are written

by expert and scholars.
I state the topic of my study at the beginning of my
literature review.
I logically arrange the body of my literature review
(e.g. methodologically, thematically, or
chronologically).
I relate one study to another when writing a
literature review.
I explain how my literature review has helped me
in conducting a research.
I point out the strengths and weaknesses of each
scholarly work that I review.
I incorporate conceptual and theoretical framework
in my study.
I never write citation references.
I define the terms that I include in my literature
review.
I disregard ethical standards in writing a literature
review.

DISCUSSION
In writing the literature review, you have to follow the three stages: First is
searching for works relevant to the study, evaluation and analysis of the selected works,
and lastly drafting the literature review. The following are some of the points to
remember in conducting your literature review.
Literature Search:

1. Identify the topics and concepts that you need to incorporate into your
paper. Your research title and specific research questions and objectives
can be a good source of these topics or concepts.

2. Specify the type of sources that you will use. Will they mainly articles or a
combination of articles, books, and other periodicals?

3. Search for a scholarly work by visiting your school library or popular online
database. This include the following:
 Proquest
 Science Direct
 JSTOR
 EBSCO
 Google Scholar
 Springer
 Wiley
 Taylor and Francis
 Sage Publication

4. Use relevant keywords to find your desired sources.

5. When conducting literature search online, use link that are considered
reliable. These are the sites that end in .gov, .mi, and .edu for example.
Sites that end in .com, .org are also acceptable as long as they are
associated with recognize companies and organizations. Some of these
sites are www.un.org (united nations), www.unesco.org (UNESCO),
www.edition.cnn.com) (cable news network), and www.rd.com (Reader’s
Digest).

6. You may also utilize Boolean searching strategies in conducting your

literature research online.
 Evaluation and Analysis of the selected works
This stage is performed once you have selected all your potential references. In this
stage, you further screen the selected references for reliability and usefulness. This
stage also further ensures that the materials you will use in your paper are only those
that are closely related to your research topic. The following are strategies you can
use in evaluating and analyzing your selected references:

1. Obtain an overview to the reference you selected. This will help you
determine the relevance of each content to your research. For example, for
research articles, you may perform a brief survey by reading the abstract of
each article; for books, you may look into the preface to see their summary
and find out the author’s intention in writing it
2. When evaluating research article, find out if they are publish by a reputable
publisher/journal and written by legitimate scholar in your field of study. You
EEvaluation
may refera to the Thomson Reuter Master Journal list: http://ip-science.
ThomsonReuters.com/mjl/) or Scopus Source List
(https://www.elsevier.com/solutions/solution/scopus/content) for the list of
reputable research journals.
3. As much as possible, refrain from using references publish by predatory
journals or publishers as they do not guarantee quality. Predatory publisher
and journals are those that publish research paper for financial gain and do
not follow the ethics in producing an academic work.
4. Refrain from using materials that do not directly explain the concepts related to
your study.
5. As much as possible, use references that have been publish within the last
five years, unless you are writing a historical paper, which may entail the use
of source from earlier period of time.
6. Group the references according to the categories you used during your
literature search. You may use online tools ( e.g., Zotero) in tagging (or
labeling) and classifying these references.
7. If a materials appears to be relevant to your topic, current (i.e, publish in the
last five years), and reliable, continue reading each content. However, if the
material does not meet these standard, exclude it from your literature review.
8. Carefully read each of the materials you will incorporate in your literature
review. Note down the key information in these materials. Determine which
information you can include in your literature review.
9. Use a concept map if you want to see the relationship, similarities, and
differences among the materials you have read.
Drafting the literature review
It is in this stage where you actually write your literature review. In drafting your review,
you need to consider how you are going to arrange the work you will cite. You also need
to consider how these work will be linked to one another, you better provide an overview
of the topic you are studying in your research.

1. One strategy that you may use in writing your literature review is to get a model
paper that deals with a topic to yours. You may pattern the sequence of your
ideas on your model paper.
2. In the introductory portion, provide an overview of what can be found in your
literature review.
3. Divide the literature review in two sub section: (a. the conceptual literature section
which explain concepts relevant to your study, and (b the related studies section
which present study similar to your own.
4. When writing the conceptual literature, you may use concept from the title of the
reference or the specific questions and objectives of your research. For the
related studies, you may arrange them in three ways: by themes (i.e., similar
studies are group together), by chronology (i.e form the earliest to the latest), or by
type (foreign or local studies). These three ways of writing the related studies
section depend on the objectives and feature of your review. (Either Thematic,
Chronological and Typological arrangement.)
5. At the end of the related studies section, write a synthesis that shows the research
gap.
6. Define important terms in your study. Aside from the informal and formal ways,
definition can be made operationally or conceptually. An operational definition is a
type of definition specifically made for your study, while a conceptual definition is a
definition of a term which is generally used in the specific discipline. This definition
is often time used by scholar citation are often required when using conceptual
definition.
7. If you cannot explain some concept in detail due to space constraints, you may
direct the readers to a particular scholarly work that discuss the said topic more
extensively. This done by using the following citation format: (see author, year).
8. Use cohesive device throughout the literature review to link one idea to another.
Examples of cohesive devices are transitional devices, conjunctions, pronouns,
and repetition of terms for referencing ideas.
9. Use heading and sub heading. This will help you organize the studies and
references you have gathered. This will also aid the reader in making sense of
ideas in related studies to your research.
 10. Be sure to apply the principle of cohesiveness when writing your
literature review. This means that each paragraph should focus only on one main
idea, and these ideas should be linked to one another.

11. Use direct quotation sparingly. Direct quotation is typically used when
stating laws and principle and when explicitly showing an author‘s intention. You
can also use direct quotation if you think that it is best to present the ideas of
certain historical figures and expert in your field.

12 .Write a brief synthesis at the end of the literature review to show how
these scholarly works, shape your paper, into further reinforce the research gap
that these studies have yet to fill.

13. Survey all possible sources before claiming that no studies have been
conducted on a particular topic or saying that your topic is under explored.

14. Cite your sources. Use the appropriate documentation and citation
style in your literature review. Three of the most popularly used documentation
style are from the American Psychological Association (APA) style, the Modern
Language Association (MLA) styles, and the Chicago manual of style (CMOS).
The documentation and citation style you will use depend on the subject matter of
your research. Be consistent in using it when documenting sources in writing your
literature review.

The following are the examples of the documentation styles are used in making
your reference citation.

MLA style

ETHICAL STANDARD IN WRITING RELATED LITERATURE

A. Ethical Writing is the notion that the written work of an author. Be it a

manuscript for a magazine or scientific journal, a research paper
submitted for a course, or a grant proposal submitted to a funding
agency, represents an implicit contract between the author and the
readers.

Let us discuss the 3 important issues to the students who will be conducting
research project.

Plagiarism is a term used to describe a practice that involves knowingly taking and
using another person’s work and claiming it, directly or indirectly, as you own.” (Neville,
2007)

Types of Plagiarism
a. Blatant plagiarism is an act in which the written tries to deceive the
teacher or readers-either for a grade or acclaim – into believing he or she
is totally responsible for or originator the content.

b. Technical plagiarism occurs when the writer is not trying to cheat or

deceive but fails to follow accepted method of using and revealing
sources.

Language used

A researcher must observe the following to avoid fraud.

a. Honesty
b. Objectivity
c. Integrity
d. Carefulness

Ethics in Reviewing Literature

- Report your findings with complete honesty.

- Do not misinterpret, misinform, mislead, and/or intentionally
misinterpret.
- Give appropriate credit when using other people’s work.

- Avoid plagiarism by fully acknowledge all content belonging to

others.
(Logan University, 2017)
