    Thank you so much for these useful videos and phrases. That leads to my question on how you assess literature review work and what are indicators for excellent literature review. Thank you.

      Hi, thanks for your question!
      Always check the marking criteria / academic regulations for your college / university but here are the key things I look for in a literature review:
      // 1. Comprehensive coverage //
      * Extensive understanding of the research area, covering a wide range of relevant sources.
      * Should include seminal works, recent studies, and diverse perspectives to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing knowledge.
      // 2. Clear research questions and focus //
      * Well-defined research questions or objectives that guide the selection and analysis of the literature.
      * Maintain a clear focus throughout, ensuring that all included sources directly contribute to addressing the research questions / objectives.
      // 3. Critical analysis //
      * Goes beyond summarising existing studies. Describes, interprets and evaluates the sources included.
      * Synthesises the findings and arguments from various sources to create a cohesive narrative.
      * It should identify common themes, conflicts, and emerging trends, highlighting the connections and gaps in the literature.
      * Highlights the strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in the literature, demonstrating the ability to think critically and contribute insights to the research area.
      // 4. Organization and structure //
      * Logically structured and easy to follow. It should have a clear introduction, main body, and conclusion.
      * Themes or topics should be effectively grouped, and transitions between different sections should be smooth and coherent.
      // 5. Effective writing style //
      * Well-written, with clear and concise language.
      * Avoiding jargon and using appropriate academic terminology is important.
      * Proper citation and referencing of sources are essential, adhering to the required style guide.
