2. Create a Reference Page:<\/p>\n
Create a separate page with all articles listed adhering to APA format guidelines, as outlined here. https:\/\/owl.purdue.edu\/owl\/research_and_citation\/apa_style\/apa_formatting_and_style_guide\/reference_list_basic_rules.htmlLinks to an external site.<\/p>\n

3. Download Articles:<\/p>\n
Download each article in PDF format to a designated folder on your computer.
\nSkim each article by reviewing the abstract to ensure alignment with your research topic. Additionally, review the structure of each article’s literature review by examining subheadings. Record a few of the subheadings of each article and then try to organize the articles you’ve gathered into three overarching themes. Your literature review outline should look like the following.<\/p>\n
4.Create Literature Review Outline:<\/p>\n
Introduction<\/p>\n
Provide an overview of the investigated topic and its significance to the field.
\nOffer a broad perspective on existing literature.
\nPresent a thesis or argument statement, emphasizing the importance of exploring the topic and identifying major themes. <\/p>\n
Theme A\/Subtopic A<\/p>\n
Create a topic sentence about Theme A and then list the studies that could be organized under that theme.<\/p>\n
List Study 1:
\nWrite one or two sentences about the study, including research question(s), methods, participants, or related findings.

\nList Study 2:
\nWrite one or two sentences about the study.
\nList study 3:
\nWrite one or two sentences about the study.
\nEtc.
\nRepeat the format above for subsequent studies that fall under Theme B\/Subtopic B and Theme C\/Subtopic C.<\/p>\n
Theme B\/Subtopic B (follow same format above)<\/p>\n
Theme C\/Subtopic C (follow same format above)<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/p>\n
Write a conclusion evaluating and\/or critiquing the existing literature.
\nAddress questions such as:
\nWhat contributions does this literature make to the field?
\nIdentify overall strengths and weaknesses.
\nDiscuss potential gaps or omissions.
\nPropose next steps for research, explicitly addressing how to address strengths, weaknesses, and gaps.<\/p>\n
Reference Page<\/p>\n
Include reference page in APA format, listing all 10 peer-reviewed articles.<\/p>\n
By adhering to these steps, you will methodically structure your literature review. As the course progresses, you will subsequently complete this outline and compose your literature review essay.<\/p>\n
