对于刚接触Literature Review(文献综述)的留学生来说,这项任务简直是“人间灾难”。不仅需要我们翻阅大量与专业相关的文献资料,还需要在此基础上对他人的观点和说法进行Critical Analysis。由于很多小伙伴是第一次接触Literature Review,所以今天给大家来规划一下如何写好Literature Review?
一、Literature Review的目标
①调查你选择的研究领域的文献;
②将该文献中的信息综合为总结;
③在目前的知识中,批判性地分析所收集的信息,确定差距,通过显示理论和观点的局限性,并制定进一步研究和审查领域的争议;
④以有组织的方式呈现文字
将四者融合于一篇文献综述中,并且能够给予读者思考,是这部分的原则使命。
二、critical analysis的主体
通过各类软件网站可以搜寻到符合研究方向的的文献资料,但是到了critical analysis的时候,我们却难以下笔。
以社会科学专业为例,下面都是我们可以关注的内容。
对于初学者来说,比较常见的批判通常出现在Participants, Design & Procesure, 和Discussion。
关于Statistical Analysis方面的批判,如果你的统计学基础还不错且愿意看图表的话,那就大胆地去写吧。
三、Literature Review的内容
这部分也是比较公式化的。因为每一篇合格的论文都会包含以下的几个部分:
1.Background 背景
2.Problem/hypothesis 问题/假设
3.Solution/Argumentation 解决方案/论证
4.Experimental test/Conclusion 实验/结论
每个点可以只用一句话来概括,只需要把Literature Review的主线理清楚就行,不必叙述每个细节。
四、Literature review万能句型
