I started to question myself why I paid so much to my uni? This video is so far the best one in detail and depth of writing LR. Thanks for the great information shared.
You are paying so much for the piece of paper they give you at the end, you really do not need to go there to learn. I've often found myself asking the same question and it's a very high price too, smh.
@@voiceofinsight5811yes, universities are for certifying/ approving
You both have done an excellent job addressing all areas! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experts in the field, absolutely love listening to your presentation.
I came across this channel just 2 weeks and finding it everything informative & very useful. This is my first attempt at research with no experience at all. I am not a grad student either but doing this research as part of my job. It is reassuring to know that I am heading in the right direction as I have covered (done) much of what has been discussed but was finding it difficult to start on the structure for the summary.
One of the best UA-cam videos on literature review.
Wow... keep it up. Thanks for the both of you for simplifying academic research through your different videos

Sir
You are doing stunning job. Thanks alot for helping us.
For students this kind of information is gold. Thank you GradCoach for a well-informed presentation.
You're very welcome!
Thank you for the guidance.
Thank you so much, Karen and Derek!
You're welcome.
I am glad they said that Wikipedia is a good starting because it can help get the basics of an idea, and better yet check out the references because those can start you on the blazing trail to knowledge. The other added benefit is Wikipedia breaks an academic idea into every day language that allows academic knowledge to fill in the gaps in research. Knowing the basics allows someone to build their opinion and use discovered sources along the academic path towards.
Here is a thought. I wonder how many times that PHD research can start here. Thank you
It starts there now than people admit. And Wikipedia articles are typically written/ edited by scholars -- they're essentially lit reviews themselves
Very refreshing indeed, thank you.
Excellent presentation, lots of great tips and suggestions given thanks for doing this Grad Coach.

Such a great video - why couldn't my university have supported me like this?!?
Good question. Universities are now too far in business and show-off. Self learning is the best method of learning. Good books and nowadays good UA-cam channels are the best help too.
Grad Coach is one of the best in this area. Thanks to them!!!
very helpful. Am grateful
Most welcome!
I also go to my university library librarian. They can find stuff for you in a matter of seconds! They are a great source to help you navigate the databases
Absolutely. Great suggestion :)

Thanks, learned a lot. I would like to book for consultations sometime.

Excellent interview, thanks for sharing! How do you know when you have enough research for the literature review? Thanks!
It's difficult to say, as there's no fixed number you can aim for in terms of sources/references/word count. But as a rule of thumb, you should read/review literature until the point of saturation - in other words, until you don't find any new pieces of information that are relevant to your research questions, aims and objectives.
very helpful
Glad to hear that :)
Good luck writing your literature review!
I am so confused. is it like searching for articles that is related to our question and write these articles that already made researched and add it and write the gap?? why i see authors write theories in literlature review and not previous articles?
Hi hope you're well. I was looking for a video you had post last week but seems to be disappeared. Is this the one?
Hi Jasmeet
Yes, this is the one. We had some technical issues that we needed to correct - all sorted now :)
Thank you for that :)
finally ...the Kerryn
Can you please make a video explaining the research process??
Thanks for the suggestion!
GRAD I have a question: Is it not possible to write or do a research on something that wasn't ventured by anybody before... Can't I be the one to do something innovative for the first time? Is it that our research must always come from what's gone before? And for this one would be facing a problem of accessing primary resources at times.... Does this mean we have to abandon that particular topic?
There's generally no rule that says you can't research something completely novel (although you should check with your university first). It's just that it's uncommon to find something that hasn't been researched at all before, unless its a completely new event. Even then, there's usually something adjacent that's been covered.
Very good. Could you send me your dissertation on organisational trust
Thanks, Louise.
Please email me - hello@grad.coach.
Great information! This is a great channel and given me great insight. Just an interview methodology comment, when interviewing someone, turn your mike off or refrain from commenting until the guest is finished speaking. You will come across as much more professional. Your, right right voice over is distracting. Just saying
amazing:)))
Is it necessary that a literature review should be in a specific chapter, or it can be split through different chapters in the thesis.
In a typical dissertation or thesis, it would be contained within a specific chapter.
Key takeaway - "Don't judge a journal by its impact factor" 😅
She has an awesome smile
:)
If I find a topic which hasn't been explored much in my country (India), but alot of quality work has been done in Western countries , can I start my work on that topic or would it be plagiarism? Can I justify the originality of my work in a situation like this ? Please help me.
Plagiarism occurs when you draw on other people's work without citing the source. So, as long as you are referencing accurately, there is no risk of plagiarism.
As for the justification of the work - generally you can justify research if it hasn't been done in a specific country. However, there'd need to be legitimate reasons as to why the existing research may not be relevant in that country (for example, cultural differences, demographic differences, etc).
@@GradCoach thank you so much .. I am so happy that you answered my query.
First of all thaks so muchhh🌼🌼🌼🌼 Then, can you please explain why Google scholar is better? I saw that Scopous, Web of science, Science direct, Springer ,... have better and more practical options but not Google scholar. So what is your reason that Google scholar is better?
Google Scholar provides the widest view of available resources (as it indexes multiple databases and publications), so it's a good starting point. From there, you can dive deeper into the databases.
VERY PROFOSINAL ADVICE. THANK YOU
Excellent points, quality as usual. But Kerryn,sorry, notwithstanding your achievements and your experience, you really need to improve your ptresenting skills. The dissolving into giggles is both distracting and annoying. It might be a nervous thing, but it definitely is not an advantage. At the worst it reduces your credibility, i mean this in the context of a recorded 'chat' like this one. I have no doubt in a one on one situation its very encouraging and appropriate- but not here!
