Be sure to include a research/focal question, synthesis of the literature you reviewed, well-established conclusions, and points of discussion and/or future research.Begin the review by defining the objective of the paper. Introduce the reader to your focal question. What is this question intended to address? You may state your âquestionâ in the form of a problem if you like. Describe the topic for your literature review and why you chose this topic. Explain why you think it is important. It is also useful to tell the reader how the review is organized in your introduction section, before you transition into the body of the review.Organize your literature review paper by themes/theories/concepts, rather than article by article. If there is one major theme you want to highlight, state the theme. If there are three major themes or streams of thought on the topic, briefly name themâand then organize the balance of your literature review around those three streams. Think of themes, theories, concepts, lines of thought, and ideas as organizing strategies for your literature review. Your creativity in this assignment is not the content or findings but the clarity with which you organize the review and create a context for understanding the focal question.When you are done introducing the first line of thought, create a new paragraph to discuss studies which present another line of thought or opposing view.Your literature review should hit the high points of each article. You should not discuss a single article, one by one, like a grocery list. Zero in on the main theme or finding and then move on to the next theme. Remember, this is a synthesis, an integration of all the things you have learned. You are creating a discussion on paper, which in turn gives the reader a context for understanding where the scholarship has been, where it is currently, and where it likely will be heading next. Provide enough details to help the reader understand the significance of the studies you cite without ârebuilding Rome.â Be sure to evaluate the studies and offer critical comments on any shortcomings youâve observed or that have been reported by the authors.Discuss the main findings and their implications. Given the results of your literature review, what is/are the prevailing argument(s)? What research question could you ask in order to further develop this area of study and contribute to the existing body of knowledge? Complete your review by drawing conclusions about your body of research and identifying gaps in the research which still remain to be explored, maybe even by you! Make an argument as to why your research question is important and relevant to the current work being done on your topic.RequirementsApply current APA standards for editorial style, expression of ideas, and formatting of the text, headings, citations, and references. Remember to use your own words to describe and evaluate the articles. Avoid quoting the material and also cite works when you are discussing someone elseâs ideas. Be sure to integrate any and all feedback received from your instructor. Your paper should be double-spaced and in 12 point, Times New Roman font with normal one-inch margins, written in APA style, and free of typographical and grammatical errors. It should include a title page with a running head, an abstract, and a reference page. The body of the paper should be no less than 5â6 pages in length.Submit your review paper by Wednesday, March 4, 2015.Assignment 2 Grading CriteriaMaximum PointsDescription of the focal question or problem is clear and thorough.Explanation of the relevance of the topic to the field of psychology is clear.36Analysis of themes, theories, or concepts is clear and complete.Discussion of articles clearly relates to those themes, theories, or concepts (instead of discussing each article individually).40Choice of articles is appropriate, both in quality and quantity: they directly address the thesis.Their evaluation is based on their relation to themes, theories, or concepts.Evaluation includes discussion of the methodology, and a discussion of any obvious shortcomings.40Provides well-supported conclusions.Suggestions for future research are appropriate and discuss how future research will contribute to the field.40Introduction has a clear opening, provides background information, and states the topic.The paper is organized around an arguable, clearly stated thesis statement.Transitions are appropriate and help the flow of ideas.Conclusion summarizes main argument and has a clear ending.12Writing follows conventions of spelling and grammar throughout.
