Note: When there are plenty of authors who researched about the subject
matter, you have to create a graphic organizer to keep track of the different authors’
ideas. One of these graphic organizers is the Literature Review Matrix.
Study the following characteristics of a good literature review matrix.
Qualities of a Good Literature Review Matrix
Limitation. Good matrices limit the amount of information you have to
work with to write your paper. On your matrix take not only of the ideas
that address your research question which you will write at the top of
your matrix as a reminder to keep yourself on track.
Comparison. Labelling the ideas that pertain to your question so you
can see where author agree and disagree—and where other authors
ignored an ideas altogether.
Discovery. You can anticipate what ideas will emerge and label those
in advance of your reading. What will you do with the ones mentioned
by only one author? Are they worth including as you attempt to provide
a thorough answer to your question? How will you decide?
Location. You will create a reference list as you read your articles.
Keep track of citations as you find the sources in electronic databases
or in the Internet.
Labelling. The names of the first authors of each study appear across
the top of the matrix. The names can easily be related to the full
citation information.
Note-taking. As you read the research, make brief notes in the blank
cells about ideas that address your research question. You can drop
authors that provide little useful information from your references. Keep
adding and deleting sources until you see a pattern of ideas emerging
that will help you answer your research question.
Expanding. Expand as you review more studies by adding pages.
