PhD Literature Review Theoretical Framework is always found in the initial section of a dissertation, and it acts as the foundation for investigating a problem statement associated with your research. The theoretical framework is also considered as the conceptual structure that guides the research work. It acts as a background that supports your research and shows the reader that you have sound knowledge in the particular research area. It plays a significant part in proving the originality of the research problem. The theoretical framework plays a significant role in guiding the process of a research study. Ph.D. Assistance: Ph.D. Assistance serves as an external mentor to brainstorm your idea and translate that into research model. Hiring a mentor or tutor is common and therefore let your research committee known about the same. We do not offer any writing services without the involvement of the researcher.

3. Theoretical Framework of a Dissertation acts as a background that supports
your research and shows the reader that you have relevant knowledge in the
particular research area. Your theoretical framework must prove how your
research fits into what is already known, i.e. It has to show how your research
contributes to the field. It must be in the position to address your research
questions and methodology and helps you to prove your research problem.
In-Brief

4. PhD Literature Review Theoretical Framework is
always found in the initial section of a dissertation,
and it acts as the foundation for investigating a problem
statement associated with your research.
The theoretical framework is also considered as the
conceptual structure that guides the research work.
It acts as a background that supports your research
and shows the reader that you have sound knowledge
in the particular research area.
Introduction
Contd..

5. It plays a significant part in proving the originality of the research problem.
The theoretical framework plays a significant role in guiding the process of a
research study.
Theoretical Framework for Your Research aims at creating any theory is to define,
predict and master phenomenon.
A theory generalizes the observations and contains interrelated, coherent set of ideas
and models.
Contd..

6. The main purposes of formulating a theoretical Framework are, it helps the
researcher in clearly variables identification related to the research study.
It also offers them a general framework for data analysis.
It is essential to prepare research using descriptive and experimental methods which
are provided by a theoretical framework.
It conceptualizes the nature of your research problem and also shows the basis and
analysis you choose to investigate that problem.
This framework identifies the way you perceive, make sense of, and interpret
necessary data.
Contd..

8. The problem statement, research question and
Literature Review serves as the base for preparing a
literature review.
According to Maxwell" Building Theoretical Framework
is not just a summarization of what has already existed
in the field.
Instead, it as to ground the proposed study within the
relevant previous work, so that it will give a clear sense
to the reader that your theoretical approach to the
phenomena that you offer to study" Maxwell emphasis
that the theoretical framework should serve the
following two purposes:
Challenges in
Preparing the
Theoretical
Study
Contd..

9. 1. You must prove how your research fits into what is already known
2. Has to show how your research contributes to the field. It must be in the position
to address your research questions and methodology and helps you to prove
your research problem.

10. In a PhD Dissertation theory is discussed and
evaluated in the theoretical framework area.
The theories mentioned in this part must be related to
your research work.
Describing the key theories
Estimate and associate related theories and
representations
Describe the assumptions and expectations that
guide your project
The main goals of theoretical review framework are,
Lack of
Appropriate
References
and
Resources
Contd..

11. Through this information, you are framing that your research is grounded in the
established ideas.
This part of the dissertation lays the foundation which will support your analysis and
allow you to interpret the result and their broader relevance's.
With the Help of Literature Review, you can identify how other researchers have
defined and drawn the connection between these key concepts.
The main aim of writing the theoretical framework is to compare and critically
evaluate the approaches that various authors have proposed.
Contd..

12. After reviewing several models and theories, you can identify the best fit theory to
your research and can justify why it is so while handling complex research project;
you can combine theories from various fields to create your unique framework.
Make sure that the mentioned important theories must relate to your key concepts.
Hence it is always necessary to identify reference paper which relevant to our
research, quality (relevancy) is more important than quantity.

13. References help in Identifying the Research Gap
and also help in justifying your research work.
It shows the reader that you have relevant
knowledge in that particular area of research, so it
is essential to select a reference that relevant to
your area of research and always consider recent
publication as references maximum five years
previous publication.
Out-dated
References
Contd..

14. Out-dated references your research work; there might be chances that the same
problem statement you have identified already proven by someone recently.
References help the readers to identify and locate sources which are used to
justify the research area.
References must be accurate and complete.

15. It refers to the information which is already present in
someone else's files.
Because of legal requirements originally prepared reports
or research purposes are often kept as an internal record.
In general, the result of completed activities is not subject to
change and therefore, sometimes it is known as fixed data.
The Theoretical Framework is a combination of several
models and theories.
Lack of
Reliable
Archival
Data
Contd..

16. One can identify the best fit theory to your research and can justify why it is so
while handling complex research project; you can combine theories from various
fields to create your unique framework.
Lack of reliable archival data will leads to an inadequate theoretical framework.

17. Write a Theoretical Framework in a way that it
comprises the best theory that matches your research
and justifies why it is so or in some complex research
project; you need to combine theories of different
work.so while taking another person's idea to state your
research theory, you have to rephrase or rewrite it
without getting plagiarism.
It shows the originality of the work that you have made.
A successful dissertation or Theoretical Framework in
PhD Dissertation needs to have proper paraphrase,
whether it is your explanation or interpretation of
another person's ideas.
Difficulties
Related to
the Quality
of Writing

18. While Developing Conceptual & Theoretical
Framework in PhD Dissertation careful attention must
be paid while writing a theoretical framework since it
acts as a background which supports research and
shows the reader that you have sound knowledge in the
particular research area.
It plays an essential part in proving the originality of the
research problem.
It also plays an indispensable role in guiding the process
of a research study.
