dude this is driving me crazy instead of travelling the world and having fun i'm here struggling to write a literature review
So glad I’m not the only one
hahahahhahah same here friend ://
Hey me too :)
omg friend same :(( we're all in the same boat
me too, I'm not the only one
I thought I was the only one struggling. Good luck to all of you too. We are all in this together
Tip: Always start with reviews, you can mix up their themes, maybe one review didnt do this but the other did.See whats been strongly estbalished thru time, and check if theyve mentioned controversial parts or gaps of your topic. From this, check recent (past five year-journals about these gaps and where do they stand.
Also, literature review is quite overwhelming at first given the large amount of information youre gonna see especially for the younger generation given their access to sci-hub, which can put you in a psychological rut. Not just to comfort you, but also as a professional tip- YOU DONT NEED TO WRITE EVERYTHING YOU KNOW, OR EVERYTHING ABOUT THE TOPIC. Coherence and transition that will support why your doing a specific study is more important, moreover sufficient. If you see an underlying pattern in terms of method or conclusion lets say among 3-5 studies, try to explain this pattern in 1 paragraph. You dont need to write how those authors got the results in detail, unless you see a clash between two papers, then maybe you can re-evaluate their differences in method.
THANK YOU FOR THE BIG TIPS!!!
Wow. Thank you
Thank you dude
Thank you very much
Ive been crying and stressing about this for the past week.. THANK YOU!!! This was so helpful, i feel calm now
*"Writing the literature review might be easier than you think"*
*"no need to panic"*
me: *staring at my screen for almost half a day*
also me: *fantasizing on how i would end my teacher's career and possibly the whole world just because of a fricking research proposal*
Edit: I manage to pass it, a few minutes after deadline.
slept like a log.
Dude are you doing amu2453 as well??

what the hell is that?
@@eugeneroyce HAHA never mind it is a unit in my university “research in the social sciences"
true
this is exactly what I am feeling right now D:
This video has superb clarity. But sometimes the simple things become the most overwhelming. It is correct that we can break a literature review down to structural components. But the modern students who I teach (there are 500 on my university of York dissertation module), are faced and burdened with limitless access to knowledge, and the fields of literature become endless. The student has to navigate a constant tension between chaos and order. I find examples help, so students can see the limits and horizons before them. My students asked me to post examples up, so this is what I did on my channel, it was originally intended for my own students, but there are now there for all to see. Good luck everyone - Dr Mark Egan
It would be really helpful if you would link here your video on writing a literature review
@@quinattasneemrafique536 it’s on my profile
I just started my literature review from today and I was in hyper panic mode until I heard from you -it's just simple and not to panic, made me calm down. Thank you.

U mmmnnka
I'm so glad to hear this! Good luck with your literature review 🍀
Is that for mini-research
how'd you do on your lit review?
Learnt more from this video than I have from my lecturer the last 2 months, thank you 🙌
NO FCKING WAY IM GONNA FINISH THIS IN 9 HOURS 😭😭😭
Did u finish it?
@@Mxerked yes, it turns out we can always make it if we just stop complaining and get to work lol. thanks for asking :)
Stuck in literature review for 2 days😅😢
Well did you finish? 😮
I love the way everyone is checking on the neighbour. Much love to you all❤
I have become a great fan of you Jessica. The way you explain the things; the way you illustrate . It has made the Literature Review Writing Process as easy as smile and as simple as possible. If you were here, I would propose you.
four approaches to structure the literature review:
1.) chronological: from older to recent publications
2.) thematic: organized around key themes
3.) methodological: compare research methods used across studies
4.) theoretical: discuss opposing theories or models

Main body that summarizes and synthesizies
Conclusion
I had to start my literature review today and I got no sleep last night because I felt like I had no idea wtf I was doing. Thank you so so so soooooo much for this playlist! I'm subscribing!
I love your videos. They are really helpful. Short, direct to the point, with concrete examples and demos. It'll be a great missed opportunity not finding your channel. Again my deepest gratitude ❤️❤️🙏
Thank you for putting this into such a short, succinct video. Currently have nine days to complete my UG Diss and this has really helped! 🙏
You're welcome Myles! Good luck with your dissertation 😊

Just in time for my assignment, thank you!
You're very welcome! Good luck on your assignment :)
Is that for mini-research🥺
I am from India🇮🇳
I am a research scholar.i am fresher.i have doubt on preparing PhD assignment.can i talk with you
I am asked to write a literature review on a topic, me thinking of what to do, i chanced across this video. I have really learned a lot from here. I pray it goes well.
have been to 10+ lectures, and this 3 min video have teached me more than all the lectures..
Based on my experience and the research tutorials I have been making on my CZcams channel and offline, I can say that students and researchers should have the following knowledge and mindset:
1) Literature reviews should be a fun a process to be well versed in the niche you like to study about. Journal articles are reviewed unlike social media posts that may contain misinformation;
2) There are many sources to learn about different types of literature review: Online the time and willingness are needed;
3) New AI tools are used to make your academic life easy, but students should learn from that. There are other reasons ...
Great video! In my experience as an academic writing teacher, literature review is one of the things many students struggle with.
I totally agree! Thanks for your support 🧡
You can help me ? Ask for something?
Gosh, this is completely true :)
@@saraosman7762 yes bro
Please give me a chapter review of Ncert class 7 chapter quality. Plzzzzz
Because they don’t teach us this?? I’m in 3rd year and doing this for first time and they didn’t even give us a guide just said “summarise” etc
I learned my academic skills from your website since i was in bachelor, and now m in master program. Thanks Scribbr
I've learnt more from these videos than in my lectures omfgggg been stressed up abt how to write a lit review for weeks and after watching a few of these I could finally write smthg! 😭😭😭thank god for youtube
Thank you for putting the info in such a short video! I've had research on how to write this thing for 2 full months and here I am a day before the deadline learning more from you than from my teacher..
Jessica from Scribbr deserves a medal! Invaluable in these times of (mini) crises!
I don't get it still.
Hey Jessica, I just felt like crying out of gratitude for your great videos. They're exactly what I need right now and I've been looking for a place that could give me the guidance I need. Thank you so much. I just want you to know that this really helps!

This is actually very simple and helpful thank you!
That was so helpful and yet so short! Thank you so much for the clarity!
Glad it was helpful!
Mucha Gracias 🙏
The new book "Where Research Begins: Choosing a Research Project That Matters to You (and the World)" (Chicago, 2022) is a good place to start if you're struggling with getting started on a research project. Chapter 5 especially is useful on Literature Reviews.
This is so much more informative and more helpful than my university course.
This video explains it better than my professor's two hour lecture.
Thank you for the steps Ma'am this will surely help us ❤
Those steps are very helpful ♥️. Thank you so much ma'am 😊
Taking my first academic writing class! Thank you so much for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
hello, any troubles so far
Got assigned a 4 page literature review in research methods in the last week of my freshman year of high school, so here I am😭
Your first sentence just put my anxiety away! Thank you!
I don't know if I learn something this makes my head crazy more. thank you for your tips
I'm feel so dumb after many levels of finding many literature reviews
Can't relate with my research 😭😭
I'm so dumb!! I cant start 😭😭
Same, my brain processed super slow
Lol I have three days to finish my first literature review paper and I’m completely blank. These online classes makes it difficult for me to learn since I don’t have someone explaining the material.
@@SupermanFan777 Me too! You can do it. I have four days
@@SupermanFan777 I have to write a whole research proposal and there's so less guidance and im so dumb 🥺 and imagine its 1500 words only
@@hafizahb1315 Same. I have a research proposal due in about a week and I have no idea about it.😭

Unknowingly, you saved my life many time indeed!

It was really helpful. To the point, the whole crux was described in the short time
Thank you for sharing those steps, it helps me a lot.
The literature review has always been a pain in the head. Especially that we are now in a pandemic, students (such as I) have problems in collecting the necessary number of sources. Thanks, Ms! I enjoyed the video. And thank you for being a big help to those who are struggling.
always use libgen etc.
@@martinzika7370 Could you explain that to me? I have no idea what you just said.
@@mikmikmak7564 libgen is an online storage of textbooks, scientific articles, monographs etc.
@@martinzika7370 Cool! I really had no idea what that one is. May I ask for some sites that offer the same information?
@@mikmikmak7564 honestly all I need is arxiv for modern math/phys papers and libgen for any books
I this this is my first comment on a video but I needed to say thank you for this series! So helpful in writing my undergrad dissertation
I will record all your tips and techniques. You just don’t know how much you helped me a lot.
Glad to hear it!
I've learned a lot. Thank you so much ma'am.
Thank you! Your videos help me a lot! Just asking, if you haven't already could you make a video about how to write discursive writing? Would help me A LOT!
when i do my literature reviews, it just feels like I'm copying from my source's literature reviews.
@scribbr is this a common problem?
Is this acceptable?
@@EMxChemist of course in LR's you are supposed to study the techniques and researches done by your predecessors and compare them to reach your own conclusions
it's true me tooo 😭
😂😂😂
My anxiety went down 15 seconds in this video!!! Thank you!!!
Aww, that makes my heart so warm hearing this 🧡
