Literature Review and Research Design: A Guide to Effective Research Practice

Digital Logos Edition

Designing a research project is possibly the most difficult task a dissertation writer faces. It is fraught with uncertainty: what is the best subject? What is the best method? For every answer found, there are often multiple subsequent questions, so it’s easy to get lost in theoretical debates and buried under a mountain of literature.

This book looks at literature review in the process of research design, and how to develop a research practice that will build skills in reading and writing about research literature—skills that remain valuable in both academic and professional careers. Literature review is approached as a process of engaging with the discourse of scholarly communities that will help graduate researchers refine, define, and express their own scholarly vision and voice. This orientation on research as an exploratory practice, rather than merely a series of predetermined steps in a systematic method, allows the researcher to deal with the uncertainties and changes that come with learning new ideas and new perspectives.

The focus on the practical elements of research design makes this book an invaluable resource for graduate students writing dissertations. Practicing research allows room for experiment, error, and learning, ultimately helping graduate researchers use the literature effectively to build a solid scholarly foundation for their dissertation research project.

Key Features

• Allows the researcher to deal with the uncertainties that come with learning new ideas.
• Helps graduate researchers use the literature effectively.

Praise for Literature Review and Research Design

Unlike other books on research, this book does not prescribe methods or recipes. Rather, it feels like one is sitting with an experienced dissertation coach, having a series of short conversations about the tacit knowledge that underlies the various aspects of research practice. After reading this book, novice researchers will have a better understanding of how the literature supports and brings out a researcher’s own voice

--Arnold Wentzel, author of Creative Research in Economics (Routledge, 2016) and A Guide to Argumentative Research Writing and Thinking (Routledge, 2017)

This chapter addresses the literature review research design’s peculiarities, characteristics, and significant fallacies. Conducting and writing poor literature reviews is one way to lower academic work’s value. State-of-the-art literature reviews are valuable and publishable scholarly documents. Too many new scholars think that empirical research is the only proper research. In this chapter, researchers find relevant information on how to write a literature review research design paper and learn about typical methodologies used for this research design. The chapter closes by referring to related research designs.

Literature Review and Research Design

May 18, 2022, a guide to effective research practice.

Listen to this interview of Dave Harris, a writing coach who uses principles from design to help authors develop writing practices. We talk about his book,  Literature Review and Research Design: A Guide to Effective Research Practice (Routledge, 2019), and the ongoing conversation that is research.

Dave Harris : "And one of the important elements of thinking of your research as a conversation with your community of scholars is that the gaps in the literature are, to some extent, the things that others have left unsaid. So, we're in this conversation, and one person mentions an idea and they mention three factors of that idea, and there's a fourth factor that they didn't mention — well, that's your gap in the literature, and you jump in and you say, 'Well, we also want to talk about this fourth factor.'"

Clear your thoughts with Dave !
