What is Research?

Research is a process of systematic inquiry that entails collection of data; documentation of

critical information; and analysis and interpretation of that data/information, in accordance with
suitable methodologies set by specific professional fields and academic disciplines.

LESSON 1. SELECTION OF RELATED LITERATURES

Review of Related Literatures, as stated in the Overview, is one of the major components of a
research paper. It gives an overview of all the writings relative to a specific topic (Prieto,Naval &
Carey, 2017). Therefore, selecting the right sources for the literature review is very important in
producing a quality research paper.

After you have chosen your research topic and crafted your 1st Chapter (Introduction), the
next step for the completion of your research paper is the writing of the Review of Related
Literature. When writing your RRL, you must first consider the sources that you are going to use
as bases for the contents of this chapter. RRL sources are commonly classified into two major
types; namely:

a. Primary source- publications or writings wherein a researcher reports the results of their
own studies. Example: Monthly, quarterly or annual journals.

b. Secondary source- publications or writings wherein a certain author describes the work of
another author. Example: Textbooks, encyclopedias, yearbooks As much possible, use the
primary sources to avoid tampering and miscommunications on the data.

In identifying a possible source of your RRL, you can refer to the following characteristics below:
1. The sources that you should use must be new or recent as possible.
2. It must be unbiased and objective as possible.
3. It must be relevant to your topic.
4. It must be in adequate number, not too few nor too many.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future.
