Importance of Literature Review for Research - Strategies and Approaches

 Introduction Briefly describe your research topic. What is your research question? Provide a rationale (with literature) as to why it is important to investigate this question. Literature review Shortly summarise the three most important journal articles (or 2 journal articles and 1 book/book chapter) for your research question outlined in the introduction. For each of your 3 sources: Please summarise the information that is most relevant for your research question in 3-4 sentences. In a separate paragraph, answer the following questions for each of your sources: Please describe specifically which search strategies you used that resulted in this source.

(I.e., does it provide background on a key element, does it bring evidence/perspective to the proposed relationship, does it point to a moderator, mediator?) Please compare your three sources concerning: their type (meta-analysis, empirical study, theoretical article…) and their academic quality, using standard criteria (as learned in the module) to estimate that. Be as specific as you can. Research approaches  To investigate the research question outlined in the introduction, please describe: What an inductive research approach to investigate this question might look like? Please state research aims and how this relates to your research question. What would be the advantages of an inductive approach for your research question? Please discuss in detail. What a deductive research approach to investigate this question might look like? Please outline one research objective for your research question and derive a testable hypothesis from this, which includes description of the variables. What would be the advantages of a deductive approach for your research question? Please discuss in detai
