Why do we need literature review? It can provide:
- justification
- context
- credibility for new studies
- recognizes strengths that you want to replicate
- Identify limitations/ gaps that need to be addressed and overcome.
- put new research topics into perspective by giving them context within the wider area of related research
- demonstrate understanding of the topic at hand, giving new findings credibility and supporting evidence
We can use both primary and secondary sources to develop litreview
Primary source (nobody analyzed before):
– Statistics
– Statistics provided by every international organisations (not commercial organization) at least at economic field
– Interviews, events => governmental sites
– Witnesses (bias)
Secondary resources (opinions, comments):
– Books
– Articles
