Lesson Back to basics: Starting
1 the review
Are you ready to be engaged in to more reading? This lesson will focus on the basics of
your review of related literature. After crafting your chapter 1 from the previous lesson,
we are now heading on gathering relevant and appropriate literatures. As a student-
researcher, this will keep you track your reading and focus on the most relevant inputs.
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
1. identify key points in writing review of related literature
2. classify relevant literature and studies
3. explain the importance of the review of related literature
What’s In
Recall the objectives for your research. These will allow you refresh your focus in doing
your study.

What’s New
What is It
• It provides the needed information on the theories, concepts and principles which are
essential in developing the conceptual and theoretical framework of the panned
topic.
• It provides the investigator with information about past researches related to the
topic under study. In other words, the review of related literature and studies is a
proof that the current undertaking is not duplicative of any study.
• It also helps the researcher identify the variables which were already studied in the
past and thus serve as basis for identifying new a new or other
variables in his present study. In short, it is a proof that the new current research
is filling-in a research gap.
• The sufficiency of related literature and studies also gives the researcher a feeling
of confidence or that there is a sufficient reason to pursue the study.
• It gives the researcher information about the research design, the method used, the
data-gathering instrument, sampling techniques and others. Therefore, when
related literature and studies are sufficient, the researcher can proceed writing the
proposal without much problem and assistance from the research adviser.
There are many different ways to organize your references in a literature review, but most
reviews contain certain elements.
• Categorization of sources
o Group your research either historic, chronologically or thematically
• Organization of Subtopics
o Group your subtopics present them in a logical order starting with the most
prominent or significant and moving to the least significant
• Discussion
o Provide analysis of both the uniqueness of each source and its
similarities with other sources
• Conclusion
o Summarize your analysis and provide evaluation of the reviewed
works and how it is related to its parent discipline, scientific
endeavour or profession. (Retrieved from

What’s In
Before you start crafting your related literature let’s make a checklist on how
extensive your collected facts are.
Check which applies to you.
I have already sourced out my Conceptual Literature
I have already sourced out some Scholarly Literature
I have read local literature
I have read foreign literature
I have aligned my readings to my specific research questions
I have read sufficient materials about my topic
I have highlighted or written the important information I have
gathered from the material
I have noted the bibliographic information of the materials I have read,
especially those that I intend to use in my paper
If one or more of the boxes have been left unchecked, you might want to review Lesson 1
again. When you have missed one of the checklist, there is a possibility that your Literature
Review would be raw or half-baked—meaning, it might not contain sufficient information to
support your research paper.
When all of the boxes have been checked, you can now proceed to the next section.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Fill in this sheet to track your readings and sort it out. Write all topics or information
that you gather and check whether it is helpful and relevant for your study. You may
also change the headings of the table suited to the structure that you decide to use. Do
not forget that all information must be aligned in you research objective/ questions.
Use a separate sheet for this activity. You may need more than one sheet in doing
this task.

Defining Ethics
Cambridge dictionary defines “Ethics” as the study of what is morally right and wrong.
Check the related words from the initial activity.
As a student-researcher it is a must for you to acknowledge these standardized rules
that guide the design and conduct of your research.
Why do you think is it important to adhere ethical norms in research particularly in your
review of related literature?
Answer:
Pause for a moment and make sure that you have written your answer.
Compare your answer to the discussions that follow as regards the importance of maintaining ethics
in research.
Importance of Ethical Standards in Research
• Promotes the aims of research, such as knowledge, truth, and avoidance of error.
Examples:
o prohibitions against fabricating,
o Falsifying
o misrepresenting research data promote the truth and minimize error.
• Promotes the values that are essential to collaborative work, such as trust,
accountability, mutual respect, and fairness. Many of these are designed to protect
intellectual property interests while encouraging collaboration. Examples:
o guidelines for authorship
o copyright and patenting policies
o data sharing policies
o confidentiality rules in peer review,
• Helps to ensure that researchers can be held accountable to the public. Ethics
would be necessary in order to make sure that researchers who are funded by public
money can be held accountable to the public.
Examples:
o policies on research misconduct
o conflicts of interest
o the human subjects protections
o animal care and use
David B. Resnik, J.D., Ph.D., 2018
Given the importance of ethical standards on the conduct of research, here are some
ethical principles by Shamoo A and Resnik D. (2015). These must guide you upon gathering
literature and providing evidence to make a stronger research.
• Honesty - Strive for honesty in all scientific communications. Honestly report data,
results, methods and procedures, and publication status. Do not fabricate, falsify,
or misrepresent data. Do not deceive colleagues, research sponsors, or the public.
• Carefulness - Avoid careless errors and negligence; carefully and critically examine
your own work and the work of your peers. Keep good records of research activities,
such as data collection, research design, and correspondence with agencies or
journals.
• Intellectual Property – Honor patents, copyrights, and other forms of
intellectual property. Do not use unpublished data, methods, or results
without permission. Give proper acknowledgement or credit for all contributions
to research. Never plagiarize.

The above images belong to the most controversial plagiarisms scandals in the Philippines. Yes!
Pictures could be plagiarized. More so in writing.
Research Ethical Standard in writing review of related literature strongly prohibits PLAGIARISM
as it is unethical to copy and use someone’s’ words and ideas without giving them proper
recognition or citation.
Be Aware!
Here are the three different types of plagiarism that you should avoid.
1. Global Plagiarisms: When someone steals an entire project from one source Lucas,
2001).
2. Patchwork Plagiarism: Someone edits together two or more different sources and
presents the result as his or her own work (Lucas, 2001).
3. Incremental Plagiarism. This is when the bulk of the project is yours and the
organization is yours, but passages or bits of information have been taken from
others’ work without being acknowledged. A reader or listener has no way of
knowing where these bits came from or that they were not your original ideas
(Lucas, 2001).
The best strategy in avoiding plagiarism in your work is by giving proper citation and
recognition to the rightful owner the words or ideas gathered for your studies.
There are different ways of citing sources. The most common styles are as follow:
• American Psychological Association (APA) – most commonly use style of
citing sources within the social sciences (Angelie et al.,2010).
• Chicago Manual Style – most commonly used and respected style guides
in the United States (Spencer, 2011).
Take note: As a student-researcher APA format is expected in your research work.
What’s More
In-text citations. Labels that are inserted next to each piece of information that comes
from another source.
For this section, you will familiarize yourself with three In-text Citation styles:
A. The American Psychological Association (APA)
B. The Modern Language Association (MLA)
C. The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS)
If a work has only two authors, cite both names each time you
reference the material.
EXAMPLE: According to Bird and Martin (2005), Robert Oppenheimer
led a tragic life.
If a work has three, four, or five authors, you should cite all of the
authors by last name in the first in-text reference. In a subsequent
reference, you would cite the name of the first author listed followed by
Book, et al.
Multiple Authors EXAMPLES:
6.12 Johnson, Lee, and Martin (2010) attempted this experiment. [first in-
text citation]
Johnson et al (2010) confirmed the number of participants.
If a work has six or more authors, only cite the first author's last name
followed by et al for all in-text citations.
Vidal et al (2010) concluded that working in a library is the best
EXAMPLES:
Corporate author According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH, 2007), high
(easily identified cholesterol levels are affecting children as well as adults.
by acronym) In subsequent in-text citations, you should use NIMH (2003).

General Guidelines
The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the
source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works
Cited page.Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the
source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word
or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that
appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.
In-text For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles,
citations for and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the
print sources author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal
with known word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the
author parenthetical citation.
In-text citations When a source has a corporate author, it is acceptable to use the
for print name of the corporation followed by the page number for the in-
sources by a text citation. You should also use abbreviations (e.g., nat'l for
corporate national) where appropriate, so as to avoid interrupting the flow of
author reading with overly long parenthetical citations.
In-text citations When a source has no known author, use a shortened title of the
for print sources work instead of an author name. Place the title in quotation marks if
with no known it's a short work (such as an article) or italicize it if it's a longer work
author (e.g. plays, books, television shows, entire Web sites) and provide a
page number if it is available.
Example:
We see so many global warming hotspots in North America likely
because this region has "more readily accessible climatic data and
more comprehensive programs to monitor and study
environmental change . . ." ("Impact of Global Warming").
Author-page Page numbers are always required, but additional citation information
citation for can help literary scholars, who may have a different edition of a
classic and classic work, like Marx and Engels's The Communist Manifesto. In
literary works such cases, give the page number of your edition (making sure the
with multiple edition is listed in your Works Cited page, of course) followed by a
editions semicolon, and then the appropriate abbreviations for volume (vol.),
book (bk.), part
(pt.), chapter (ch.), section (sec.), or paragraph (par.).
Example:
Author-page When you cite a work that appears inside a larger source (for instance,
citation for an article in a periodical or an essay in a collection), cite the author
works in an of the internal source (i.e., the article or essay). For example, to cite
anthology, Albert Einstein's article "A Brief Outline of the Theory of Relativity,"
periodical, or which was published in Nature in 1921, you might write something
collection like this:
Example:
Relativity's theoretical foundations can be traced to earlier work by
Faraday and Maxwell (Einstein 782).
Citing authors Sometimes more information is necessary to identify the source from
with same last which a quotation is taken. For instance, if two or more authors have
names the same last name, provide both authors' first initials (or even the
authors' full name if different authors share initials) in your citation.
Example:
Although some medical ethicists claim that cloning will lead to designer
children (R. Miller 12), others note that the advantages for medical
research outweigh this consideration (A.
Miller 46).
Citing a work by For a source with two authors, list the authors’ last names in the
multiple text or in the parenthetical citation:
authors
For Example:
Best and Marcus argue that one should read a text for what it says
on its surface, rather than looking for some hidden meaning (9).
The authors claim that surface reading looks at what is “evident,
perceptible, apprehensible in texts” (Best and Marcus 9).
For a source List only the first author’s last name, and replace the additional
with three or names with et al.
more authors,
Example:
Citing multiple If you cite more than one work by an author, include a shortened
works by the same title for the particular work from which you are quoting to distinguish
author it from the others. Put short titles of books in italics and short titles
of articles in quotation marks.
Citing two Lightenor has argued that computers are not useful tools for small
articles by the children ("Too Soon" 38), though he has acknowledged elsewhere that
same author: early exposure to computer games does lead to better small motor skill
development in a child's second and third year ("Hand-Eye
Development" 17).
Citing two Murray states that writing is "a process" that "varies with our thinking
books by the style" (Write to Learn 6). Additionally, Murray argues that the purpose
same author: of writing is to "carry ideas and information from the mind of one
person into the mind of another" (A Writer Teaches Writing 3).
Additionally, if the author's name is not mentioned in the sentence,
format your citation with the author's name followed by a comma,
followed by a shortened title of the work, and, when appropriate, the
page number(s):
Visual studies, because it is such a new discipline, may be "too easy"
(Elkins, "Visual Studies" 63).
Example:
John of Patmos echoes this passage when describing his vision (Rev.
4.6-8).
Citing indirect
sources Sometimes you may have to use an indirect source. An indirect
source is a source cited within another source. For such indirect
quotations, use "qtd. in" to indicate the source you actually consulted.
Example:
Citing non- print • Include in the text the first item that appears in the Work
or sources from Cited entry that corresponds to the citation (e.g. author name, article
the Internet name, website name, film name).
• Do not provide paragraph numbers or page numbers based
on your Web browser’s print preview function.
• Unless you must list the Web site name in the signal phrase
in order to get the reader to the appropriate entry, do not include
URLs in-text. Only provide partial URLs such as when the name of
the site includes, for example, a domain name, like CNN.com or
Forbes.com, as opposed to writing out http://www.cnn.com or
http://www.forbes.com.
When a citation is Common sense and ethics should determine your need for
not needed documenting sources. You do not need to give sources for familiar
proverbs, well-known quotations, or common knowledge (For
example, it is expected that U.S. citizens know that George
Washington was the first President.). Remember that citing sources
is a rhetorical task, and, as such, can vary
based on your audience. If you’re writing for an expert audience of a
scholarly journal, for example, you may need to deal with

C. Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) - Citing in the Text
The Basics
The Chicago style, when referring to a source of information within the text of a document, in
its simplest form, gives a short citation consisting of the name of the author (or authors)
and the date of publication.
General Guidelines
• The short references within the text are given wholly or partly in round brackets.
• Use only the surname of the author followed by the year of publication. Include page,
chapter, section or paragraph numbers if you need to be specific. A comma is placed
between the year of publication and the page, chapter, section or paragraph numbers.
• Citations in the text can either be either placed at the end of a sentence in parentheses
(brackets) or alternatively, the author's name may be included in the text, and just the
date and additional information placed within the brackets.
There are many reasons for intestinal scarring (Ogilvie 1998, 26-28).
Electronic • An electronic document would be cited in the text in the same way as a
Document print document.
For example, citation for an internet document appearing in the text as:
There are many useful materials available (Raidal and Dunsmore 1996,
par. 13)
would be given in the reference list as:
Note: When referring to multiple authors within the text and within
parentheses, precede the final name with the word and:

4. What kind of plagiarism occurs when the bulk of the project is yours and the
organization is yours, but passages or bits of information have been taken from others’
work without being acknowledged?
a) Global plagiarism
b) Patchwork plagiarism
c) Incremental plagiarism
