About this course: 

This master-class engage participants with NVivo, with guidance on how to search, code, classify and query pdf articles, and import your Endnote/Mendeley/Zotero libraries to aid in meta-analysis. With tools for documenting decisions along the way, we work on building up a body of work that is useful in systematically establishing arguments for the use of theoretical frameworks, research designs, methods and techniques.

 

The literature review is not just about analysing the current state of research and identifying the research 'gap'; it should also assist in identifying appropriate theoretical frameworks, research designs, methods and techniques. Issues of depth vs breadth are considered, as are strategies for writing. This workshop discusses literature reviews for the above purposes and a practical way to deal with the volume of literature that needs to be reviewed.

 

The workshop is relevant to all researchers, particularly to early stage researchers with little experience of conducting systematic literature reviews.
