Literature Review

As I mentioned in the last email, this first week should be used to become familiar with your selected project area via a review of both peer-reviewed and grey literature. I advise the following approach to conduct a literature review:

1) Select databases to search.

< pstyle="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt 36.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -36.0pt;">

•  

Peer-reviewed: refers to journal publications that have undergone extensive critique and evaluation by peers in the same field of publication.

< pstyle="margin-left: 72.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 47.0pt 72.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -72.0pt;">

?                  

Recommended Databases:
PubMed
,
Google Scholar

< pstyle="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt 36.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -36.0pt;">

•  

Grey-literature: refers to informally published reports and or articles such as white papers, technical reports, news articles, etc.

< pstyle="margin-left: 72.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 47.0pt 72.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -72.0pt;">

?                  

Recommended Databases/Sources:
Google
,
Google Scholar
,
Google News
, 
WHO
,
UN
,
World Bank
,
UNICEF
, etc.

2) Create search terms.

< pstyle="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt 36.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -36.0pt;">

•  

Based on your project title, develop a list of keywords to conduct your search with. This may require you to read a few “
review
” articles, or to add additional terms as you become familiar with the topic.

< pstyle="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt 36.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -36.0pt;">

•  

Although Wikipedia should NEVER be used as a source in scientific work, it is a great place for an overview of general topics of interest (i.e.,
maternal health
,
emergency medical services
,
infant mortality
,
health forecasting
, and
quality management
).

3) Conduct searches.

< pstyle="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt 36.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -36.0pt;">

•  

Using your search terms, search and select any material that is relevant to addressing your question.

< pstyle="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt 36.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -36.0pt;">

•  

Specifically look for information specific to your region of interest (i.e., Saudi Arabia), but also look for global best practices (from around the world) that are applicable to the local context.

< pstyle="margin-left: 72.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l2 level2 lfo3; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 47.0pt 72.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -72.0pt;">

?                  

You may find limited content in your region, in which case, you have discovered an important gap in research (that you will help address!). In this case focus on the global as it relates to the local context.

< pstyle="margin-left: 72.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l2 level2 lfo3; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 47.0pt 72.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -72.0pt;">

4) Use reference managers.

< pstyle="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo4; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt 36.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -36.0pt;">

•  

Reference Managers are great tools that help automate the process of creating a database of your literature for future reference. There are two tools that I recommend for use (and that I can offer training in).

< pstyle="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo4; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt 36.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -36.0pt;">

•  

Use of these tools are optional, but they will greatly enhance your productivity and generally make your life easier. The choice of which one to use is up to you.

Zotero:

< pstyle="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l4 level1 lfo5; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt 36.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -36.0pt;">

•  

This is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources.

< pstyle="margin-left: 72.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l4 level2 lfo5; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 47.0pt 72.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -72.0pt;">

?                  

In order to use Zotero, there are two set-up methods. Chose whichever is more convenient (however it works best with Mozilla, Method 1)

< pstyle="margin-left: 72.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l4 level2 lfo5; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 47.0pt 72.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -72.0pt;">

?                  

Method 1: Download the browser,
Mozilla Firefox
, and the accompanying
Zotero in-browser software
 (left-side) and
Word plug-in
. 

< pstyle="margin-left: 72.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l4 level2 lfo5; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 47.0pt 72.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -72.0pt;">

?                  

Method 2:  Download the
standalone software
 (right-side) with the plug-in for your browser of choice (Safari, Chrome, or Mozilla).

< pstyle="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l4 level1 lfo5; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt 36.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -36.0pt;">

This
tutorial
will walk you through the set-up and use.
