The role of the literature review
Your literature review gives your readers an understanding of the evolution of scholarly research on your topic.
In your literature review you will:
•survey the scholarly landscape
•provide a synthesis of the issues, trends, and concepts
•possibly provide some historical background
Throughout the literature review, your emphasis should fall on the current scholarly conversation. This is why the rubric often specifies that you need resources from peer-reviewed journals, published within the last five years of your anticipated graduation date. It's in these recent, peer-reviewed journals that the scholarly debate is being carried out!
The literature review also shows the "gap" in the conversation -- and how your own doctoral study will fill that gap and contribute to the scholarly knowledge. This is where you make the case for the importance and usefulness for your own work.
Searching comprehensively
Your literature review should be as comprehensive as possible -- you want to include all of the relevant resources dealing with your topic. Missing important articles or researchers will significantly weaken your scholarship! So, searching comprehensively becomes important.
To ensuring comprehensiveness:
•Identify the databases that will cover your topic
◦Spend some time reading the descriptions of the databases in your subject area
◦Contact the Library to get advice from a librarian on appropriate databases
◦Some topics cross over subject/theoretical boundaries, and librarians can suggest databases that you may not have considered
•Search in more than one database
◦Some of our databases are huge, containing thousands of journals, but no single database covers every journal relevant to a topic
◦Searching in each relevant database, one at a time, gives you a better sense of control over your search, as well as a more accurate idea of the journals/databases that you've covered
Using a multi-database search (such as Thoreau) is not necessarily recommended; in doing so, you lose the ability to use subject terms and search limits that may be unique to each database.
•Explore resources outside of the databases:
◦Government websites
◦Professional organizations
◦Research groups
◦Think tanks
These can all be important sources of statistics and reliable information. These will not be peer-reviewed resources (i.e. since they are not journals, they do not employ the same sort of editorial process that results in peer-review). Evaluating for reliability is important!
Beyond the Library: Google Scholar
Google Scholar provides a good way to take your search beyond the databases; it searches very broadly and will pull in resources you may not have discovered before.
Google's definition of scholarly includes government sites, think tanks, research organizations, journal websites, and of course colleges and universities.
Unfortunately, there is no way to limit your Google Scholar search to only peer-reviewed res ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Recall
• Definition of Related Literature
• Importance of conducting a good literature search.
• Types of entry reference notes
• Types of Literature (Conceptual and Research)
• Sources of CL and RL
• Definition of Theory
3. What is the purpose of
literature review?
1. To define and limit the problem you working on.
2. To place you study in an historical perspective.
3. To avoid unnecessary duplication.
4. To evaluate promising research methods.
5. To relate you finding to previous knowledge and suggest further research.
It is analyze critically a segment of a published body of knowledge through
of literature and theoretical articles.
According to Almofad.com:
summary, classification and comparison of prior research studies reviews
(the writing center)
4. • Writing the literature review lets you gain and demonstrate
skill in to way:
1.Information: the ability to scan the literature review
efficiencently using manual or computerized method to
identify a set of useful articles and books
2. Critical appraisal: the ability to apply principles of analysis to
identify unbiased and valid studies. ( Toronto university)
5. • A literature review is not an annotated bibliography in which
you summarize briefly each article that you have reviewed.
While a summary of the what you have read is contained
within the literature review, it goes well beyond merely
summarizing professional literature.
• It focuses on a specific topic of interest to you and includes
a critical analysis of the relationship among different works,
and relating this research to your work. It may be written as a
stand-alone paper or to provide a theoretical framework and
rationale for a research study (such as a thesis or dissertation).
6. What is the most critical thing can literature review do?
According to Toronto University that the literature review
has significant issue:
1. Be recognize around and related directly to the thesis or
research question you developing.
2. Synthesize results into a summary of what is and is not
known.
3. Identify areas of controversy in the literature.
4. Formulate questions that need further research.
7. When to Start Reviewing Related
Literature?
• While the research problem is still being conceptualized, the
researcher must already start reviewing literature. In
identifying and defining the research problem, the researcher
must be able to show evidences that the problem really exists
and is worth investigating.
• It is important that the researcher knows what is already
known about the problem or what earlier researchers have
found about it and what questions still need to be answered
before the research questions or objectives are finalized.
8. • Theories which the researchers use to explain the existence of
a research problem and used as bases in analyzing
relationships between variables can be generated from
reference books on theories or from related studies. The
researcher therefore, must have already read adequate
literature at the start of the research activity.
10. • Step 1: Review APA guidelines
• Step 2: Decide on a topic
• Step 3: Identify the literature that you will
review:
• Step 4: Analyze the literature
• Step 5: Summarize the literature in table or
concept map format
• Step 6: Synthesize the literature prior to writing
your review
• Step 7: Writing the review (Galvan, 2006: 81-90)
• Step 8: Developing a coherent essay

12. Writing in APA Style for
Literature Reviews
• ONE WORK BY SINGLE AUTHOR:
• Smith (1983) compared reaction times
• In a recent study of reaction times it was found that (Smith, 1983)
• In 1983, Smith compared reaction times
• ONE WORK BY THREE OR MORE AUTHORS:
• Cite all authors the first time the reference occurs; in subsequent
citations include only the surname of the first author followed by "et
al." (not underlined and with no period after "et") and the year.
Citations apart of the text, use and , when citing in parentheses use &
symbol.
• Williams, Jones, Smith, Bradner, and Torringon (1983) found (first
citation)
• Researchers (Williams, Jones, Smith, Bradner, & Torringon, 1983) found
(first citation)
• Williams et al. (1983) found (subsequent citations)
13. • CITING MULTIPLE ARTICLES AT ONE TIME
• Separate two or more citations with semi-colon, and list in
alphabetical order.
• Several studies have shown that monozygotic twins tend to be
more similar than dizygotic twins on this dimension (Dunn &
Plomin, 1986; Plomin, DeFries, & Fulker, 1988). (first citation)
14. Tips in Writing (RL)
• QUOTATIONS: Quotations should be extremely rare in
scientific writing, and should only be used if exact wording or
terminology is needed.
• VOICE: AVOID 1ST PERSON (GALVAN, 2004, P. 54)
• Ex. Improper voice for academic writing In this review, I will show
that the literature on treating juvenile murderers is sparse and
suffers from the same problems as the general literature
Unfortunately, I have found that most of the treatment results
are based on clinical case reports of
• Ex. Suitable voice for academic writing The literature on treating
juvenile murderers is sparse and suffers from the same problems
as the general literature Most of the treatment results are based
on clinical case reports
15. • AVOID SLANG. USE PROFESSIONAL LANGUAGE
• conducted a study instead of did a study
• examined instead of looked at
• utilize instead of use (where appropriate)
• great deal instead of a lot
• furthermore instead of run-on sentences
16. • ORGANIZE THE PAPER BY TOPICS NOT CHRONOLOGY: Build
paper with a clear thesis. Good writing should provide clear
and organized evidence for your argument or theory.
• BE CONSICE: Delete unnecessary words, phrases, and
sentences to drastically improve your writing. Scientific writing
is concise and to-the-point!
17. • REVISE AND REWRITE: Good writing takes hard work. Give
yourself enough time to take a break from the paper. Time
away from the paper provides perspective regarding
organization and allows the opportunity to find technical
errors.
• CITATIONS: It is imperative that you use good citation habits. It
is plagiarism to use other writers words and IDEAS.
