Literature review helps the researcher to understand the concept of the research topic. It also helps in evaluating the research problem in the most critical way to find the effective and efficient solution for the proposed problem (Dawidowicz 2010). This post helps readers to understand the important aspects that have to keep in mind while conducting the literature review for the research project.


Important Consideration

Literature review is an important topic to formulate and understand the problem of the research work. Literature is also helpful in determining the research topic. Also, it helps in determining the feasibility of the research study (Matheson and Lacey 2011). There are several points to be considered while conducting literature review for any research problem, such as:

Firstly, the researcher has to understand the research problem effectively before searching for the literature of the given topic so that proper key words can be used to find the data and information regarding the research problem (Reed 2005). This would help the researcher to put effective input in the literature review, i.e. the researcher has to understand and find out the actual problem of the research. After understand the research problem, the next step will be of processing the problem in order to find the best solution for it (Levy and Ellis 2006).

In the second step, the researcher has to know the literature of the proposed problem and comprehend it by critically evaluate the problem from the view point of different authors. After comprehending the data, researcher has to apply the data and analyze it to evaluate the result for the proposed research problem (Levy and Ellis 2006).

For making the research work effective, researcher has to understand the sources from where quality information can be available for the research work. It helps the researcher to understand the problem from the authentic information rather than fake information. The authentic information makes the research work more effective and helps in finding the solution efficiently. There are various sources of data viz. primary sources, secondary sources and tertiary sources that helps the researcher to find the authentic data and information for the dissertation (Rubin and Babbie 2010).

Primary data source includes survey through structured and semi structured interviews, observation, autobiographies, statistics, surveys, opinion polls, scientific data, etc. While, the authentic secondary data sources include biographies, textbooks, articles, etc. on the other hand, tertiary data sources include encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc. (Reed 2005).

The next important step while conducting the literature review in the research topic is to check the applicability of the literature. Some time researcher has to include theories and models in the research work, thus researcher has to check the relevancy of these models and theories before using them in the research work (Levy and Ellis 2006).

Conclusion

From the above discussion, it can be concluded that literature review helps the researcher to make his/her research work more effective and results into finding the solution of the research problem in an efficient way. This report helps the reader to consider several points at the time of conducting literature review to make it more favorable in determining the relevant solutions.

Research methodology plays an important role in any dissertation to achieve research aims and objective and collect adequate data. A well define research methodology assist the researcher to conduct an effective research study and collect reliable and valid information. Research methodology is also helpful for the researcher to define research aims and objectives in effective manner. In order to select appropriate and suitable research methodology, it is essential for the researcher to concentrate on different aspects. Firstly, gaining knowledge about the research nature is essential. All research methodology can be divided into two broad categories such as quantitative and qualitative research (Houser 2007). In today’s most of the researcher chooses both research methodologies for their research study. It helps the researcher to develop in-depth understanding about the research topic in both theoretical and quantitative manner.

In a dissertation, an effective research methodology included various aspects such as research philosophy, research approaches; research design and data collection methods. These aspects help the researcher to define research methodology according to the research topic. The detail description is as follow:

Research Philosophy: Research philosophy is an idea of development of knowledge or a research study. A research philosophy contents three types of philosophies such as positivism, interpretivism and realism research philosophy. The researcher can select research philosophies according to the way in which knowledge is developed and judge (Saunders 2003). This philosophy leads the researcher to gain comprehensive knowledge about research approach.

Research Approaches: Research approaches also play an important role to select suitable methodology. It directs research to develop research design and increase the effectiveness of research study. There are two types of research approaches such as inductive and deductive research approach (Houser 2007). A researcher can select the research approaches according to the research philosophy and the design of research methodology. If the researcher want to test the hypothesis related to the research issue, deductive research approach is useful and if the researcher compare the existing theories with collected data and information, inductive research approach is useful (Flick 2009).

Research Strategies: Research strategy is a general plan that helps the researcher to answer the research question in effective manner and choose suitable research methodology (Saunders 2003). An effective research strategy includes the objectives, research questions and data collection resources that help the researcher to conduct research study in effective manner. A researcher can select the research strategy according to the required data and information. An effective research strategy includes the analysis of literature review, case study, interview, observations, experiments, survey etc. (Houser 2007).

Research Design: Research design is an important aspect of research methodology because it helps the researcher to define research study from data collection to the data analysis techniques. There are two types of research design that includes qualitative and quantitative research design. These are helpful for the researcher to conduct research study in effective manner (Flick 2009).

Data Collection Methods: Data collection method is also an important part of follow a correct research methodology in a dissertation that helps the researcher to develop reliable and valid information and data. A researcher can use two types of data collection method such as primary and secondary data collection methods. In primary data collection method, researcher can generate data and information through survey or interview. In secondary data collection method, researcher can use books, journals, academic articles to collect the reliable data and information (Saunders 2003).

Thus, it can be said that all these steps are interconnected with each other and evaluation of all these aspects is essential to select appropriate research methodology in a dissertation.
