 Literature Review Thought Process Literature review/theoretical framework For my literature review, I will survey existing research on my topic, analyze/describe gaps in preexisting research, and justify my argument with evidence. Step 1= Examine the literature : Describe what/how much research has been performed on my topic. Synthesize key approaches/findings from the most relevant studies. Describe the strengths and weaknesses of previous research. Describe any gaps or limitations in existing research. Step 2 = Draft literature review Address gaps in the literature. Build a new theoretical or methodological (logic model) approach to the topic. Proposes a solution to an unresolved problem. Builds on and strengthens existing knowledge with new data. Advances a theoretical debate. Step 3 = Present the Logic Model (CMM) Discuss the theory that informs my research. Define key terms and explain relevant concepts. Present any relevant models that help interpret your findings.
