Tips & Reminders

  • Start to make your title more specific.
    • You must keep the “<Dependent Variable> and <Independent Variable>” title structure.
    • Is it a systematic review? Or more of a narrative/critical/traditional review?
    • This paper is a good example of a NON-systemic lit review. I would say it’s a critical/thematic review. If you paper does not have a quantitative analytic component, take a look at this paper as a possible model.
  • These papers papers are good examples of systematic lit reviews.
  • Coming soon: how to write a “Results” section without plagiarizing

  • Please continue to digest the Checklists: Cultural and Research Competencies and (critically) read more about any concepts that are unfamiliar to you. Review the diversity style guides related to the protected class you’re researching. This will help minimize unconscious/implicit bias and the unconscious harm, which can be very difficult to catch in our own work and our own selves. Peer Review 1 will focus on potential harm, but start thinking about this more deeply. We will return to these concepts in future classes. 
  • Start focusing on “Methods.” (Formerly “Review”). Explain your choices and processes in compiling your Works Cited / Bibliography.
