4.1 Literature review
Complete your literature review that analyzes or helps the reader understand your problem statement from back in Weeks 1 and 2. The literature review paper should be a condensed, synthesized, narrative that integrates all of the literature you have reviewed in Week 2 as well as additional research relevant to your problem.
Don’t merely list an article and describe it in one paragraph and then another in the next paragraph. Make it a narrative. Describe the studies and how they support what you want to examine in your topic.
Think of this as a paper within a paper. You should provide an introduction and summary of your lit review. Include headings to organize the content.
Your literature review may be a fluid document as your focus changes and recommendations are received from your instructor.
Continuously make additions, updates, and revisions to the Literature Review Matrix you created in Week 2. Provide an updated Literature Review Matrix as an additional document uploaded along with the 4.1 Literature Review assignment this week.
Your literature review paper should include:
Title page formatted in APA.
Title heading as your introduction heading to the literature review. How does this literature review support the analysis or further understanding of the problem statement? How do you intend to tell the story to the reader?
Your clearly stated problem statement. Make any revisions following Weeks 1 and 2 if necessary.
Well-organized sections in the paper that review similar research studies used to explain or analyze the problem (review the Literature Review Tutorial). Include correctly formatted APA headings.
