Struggling with your literature review? You're not alone.

Crafting a comprehensive literature review


can be a daunting task, requiring extensive research, critical analysis, and effective organization of
ideas. From selecting relevant sources to synthesizing information cohesively, the process can be
overwhelming for many students and researchers.

One effective strategy to streamline the literature review process is by utilizing mind maps. Mind
maps offer a visual representation of complex ideas, allowing you to brainstorm, organize, and
connect key concepts and sources effectively. By visually mapping out the relationships between
different studies, theories, and arguments, you can gain a clearer understanding of the existing
literature and identify gaps in research more efficiently.

However, creating a compelling literature review using mind maps requires time, effort, and
expertise. It involves meticulous planning, structuring, and refining to ensure coherence and
relevance. Many individuals find themselves grappling with the intricacies of this task, struggling to
strike the right balance between breadth and depth, synthesis and analysis.

(see the Mendeley 101 video below), but you can use whichever software you’re comfortable with.
Then tighten it up and submit it to your supervisor. So, what exactly is the purpose of the literature
review. A good literature review typically involves a great number of articles read over a long period
of time. Visually laying out all the parts of a topic can help you see the broad themes, as the
associations and connections between ideas will become clearer. The best way to assess this is to ask
them to explain the chapter back to you. What further questions does it raise? 4.1.4. If there are
conflicting studies, why do you think that is? 4.1.5. How are the authors viewed in the field. Finally,
the mind map will also help you when you are writing up the literature review section, as it will give
you a good sense of the necessary structure and direct you to the exact papers you need to reference.
This workshop will provide an overview of why we write literature reviews, how to approach large
research projects, and ways to organize articles for the review paper. One of the compelling things in
the report was the problem of social isolation, people in poverty get alienated very quickly. Social
isolation is on par with high blood pressure, obesity, lack of exercise or smoking as a risk factor for
illness and early death. However, it’s critically important to decide on your structure and develop a
detailed outline before you write anything. You are also developing skills in reviewing and writing,
to provide a foundation on which you will build in subsequent courses within your M.Ed. and
ultimately in your final project. Or you can now download a PDF version if you do not have the

breaking down complex ideas into their individual parts, to help you understand the relationships
between them. Some might argue that you should be sending your work to your supervisor sooner
than this (indeed your university might formally require this), but in my experience, supervisors are
extremely short on time (and often patience), so, the more refined your chapter is, the less time
they’ll waste on addressing basic issues (which you know about already) and the more time they’ll
spend on valuable feedback that will increase your mark-earning potential. As a research student,
you learn better with your learning tips in research. Simply put, it’s essential to build your own

youth cited that it would be helpful to have adults help them find somewhere to live, knowing their
rights as tenants, understanding the landlord and a stable job as well as access to a phone, rental
subsidies and adults to co-sign leases. - Youth who had been on AYAs are less likely than youth in
group homes and respite care to want an adult to help them find housing. As such, synthesizing all
the data will become simpler. This is, after all, one of the main purposes of the literature review

your Mind Map spans out will come naturally as you add more ideas and your brain freely draws
new associations from the different concepts. This would be understandable if such housing
adversely affected its users in some way. This workshop will provide an overview of why we write

out of care. 45% of youth aging out of care indicated they had suffered homelessness at some point.
- Almost 70% of youth aging out in BC reported involvement with the criminal justice system.
Though both ways are great for sparking creativity, digital Mind Maps have the benefit of being able
to be made in just a few minutes and they’re quick and easy to edit. While you probably already
have a decent base of this from your research proposal, you need to expand on this substantially in
the dissertation or thesis itself. Best things about leaving care the participants said were autonomy
and absence of surveillance and controlling aspects of life in care. However, the subject terms used
by databases may not be the first terms that come to mind when you brainstorm on your subject of

absence of surveillance and controlling aspects of life in care. Usually, your university will provide
you with access to previous students’ dissertations, but you can also find a much larger selection in
the following databases. In addition, these organizations are knowledgeable about their communities
or client group and often act as the operating partner, managing the housing and support services on
an ongoing basis. 1.2. Calgary 1.2.1. Coordinated Access for Homelessness in Calgary (2018) 1.3.

to write a literature review in three straightforward steps, so you can conquer this vital chapter (the
smart way). Note that, generally, the search engine capabilities of these databases are poor, so make
sure you search for the exact article name, or you might not find it. I have an amazing supervisor but
one also knows they are super busy. At this stage, it’s common to feel a bit of writer’s block and
find yourself procrastinating under the pressure of finally having to put something on paper. Yet
policies that discourage shared housing for formerly homeless people or people at risk of becoming
homeless are common, and those that encourage it are rare. The use of keywords triggers connections
in your brain and allows you to remember a larger quantity of information. Since April 2014 more
than 40 organizations and 20 youth have committed to a unified approach to participating in

Good Life (2014) 4.3.5.1. - Home sharing supports people with intellectual disabilities and is the
fastest growing residential option in the province. Keeping these cortical skills isolated from one
another does not help brain development, which a Mind Map seeks to do. Information from four

methodology. All you have to do is skim through literature review chapters of existing dissertations
related to your topic and you’ll find a gold mine of potential literature. This draws attention and
triggers associations, as our brains respond better to visual stimuli. Instead, you need to read first and
distil the information, then plan and execute the writing. Since I have been watching and reading
instructions, I have started my research proposal to write. The supports could be of a wide variety
and should be determines by the specific needs of the person being housed. 6.4. Transition Strategy
6.4.1. When youth age out of care: where to from there? (2007) 6.4.1.1. - This three year
longitudinal study examines the developmental trajectories of some youth from care, examines how
policies and programs can affect successful transitions and strategies to provide better support during
their transition from care. Important: A literature review is not series of annotations (like an
annotated bibliography). The main branches which flow from the central image are the key themes.

shared housing is associated with reduced psychotic symptomology. Also, without the bird’s eye
view that a catalogue provides, you’ll miss connections between various articles, and have no view of
