This is the simplest explanation of how to write a literature review I’ve come across, brief, concisely explained the details without being overly critical and to the point. Excellent video Prof.
Real life...right now...i am lost in the sauce with 72 hours to complete a lit review. This helped me visualize what needs to happen! Much appreciated!
This video is incredibly helpful. Following the six steps prescribed by Pr. Stuckler really facilitates literature review framework. The key concepts particularly sparkled my attention; then came the numerous examples he brought in. I should definitely adopt this approach to complete my dissertation writing. .
I’m applying for my Masters. I last graduated with my degree in 2003. Since then I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD. I don’t know how I managed back then. I’m so grateful for your videos. This is what I needed back then, aside from adhd meds. I’m looking forward to going back to school because of videos like these!!!
Hey Scarlett so happy to hear you’re getting value. Let me know if there is anything you would personally find helpful. I have several adhd coaching students - definitely reach out if you’re looking for support
Prof David Stuckler... Thank you for this great video. The strip method is fantastic, your PEER technique is fantastic. I recommend this video to academic students worldwide.
this is one of the best videos on this topic - i like the opening sentence "paralysis by analysis" best. could you briefly explain to me - what would the topic of the work in your example be? Are the search terms in step 1 "inequality + health" or is it enough to simply enter keywords one after the other in google schoolar?
we have a dedicated PICO tool to help you refine your topic. join my fb group and we can directly message there, as well as cover even yours in our live workshops :)
Yes we’ve adapted our system for academic uses. Most of this is taught at some stage in high school but then everyone forgets (or never mastered it in the first place)
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION I EVER WATCHED. ONLY 1 IN 100 ACTUALLY PROVIDE LIVE EXAMPLE OF HOW TO CARRY OUT RESEARCH WORK AND NOT JUST LECTURING IN AIR...YOU ARE ONE OF THEM. KEEP IT UP SIR!
thanks Rasheeda - definitely join my FB group FastTrackGrad and take part in our live sessions where we work together to help you on your research projects so you never feel stuck :)
Thank you, your calm, straightforward style of communication is appreciated! I'm in grad school for my MSW & this is so helpful for my intro to research class!
Thank God that I found this video. I seriously don’t know how to go about doing literature review. Too much info till I get lost most of the time. This video really give me a simpler perspective on this subject. Thanks Prof!
How I wished I saw this video earlier. I am 7 months into my PhD and I haven't been able to write my literature review and time is against me. I have had a series of burn outs and time isn't on my side anymore.
It was absolutely an amazing experience and I am doing my second paper. Needed a reminder to keep going. I hope this year I get to achieve my academic goals.
Hello Prof, I am super glad to have watched your video. Writing a literature review was a super nightmare for me but I can testify that your video has really demystified writing of literature review. I will be joining your FB group to be mentored by you. I look forward to build my writing skills.
Thanks for the video. I only wrote the introduction and conclusion after writing the bodies. When you think you know enough information to write an introduction, but when you run through the research body...the introduction does not mean anything you find in the literature views. The best would be finishing the body, then introduce what you just wrote, then conclude what you just wrote.
Thank you so much. Please what is the difference between systematic and literature review. I was asked to contribute to a prospective review paper for the first and this video truly meet me well
systematic review is a methodology so if someone else followed the exact same process as you did they would get the same results. So you have to describe exactly what steps you took to find the papers that you use.
The video was truly insightful, especially, the 'Strip Method' & the 'PEER technique'. Thank you, Professor. I have a question, while writing the body paragraphs, do we also have to interpret and analyze what the authors in their previous studies mean? Would also like to have one on one session with you. Thank you! Regards,
hey Neha glad you got value from it. Definitely join my FB group FastTrackGrad and we can chat directly there. I like describing what the authors did and what they found so it is accessible to your readers - can share you with our formula for doing so
This is very helpful. Thank you. My only concern that your paragraphs are descriptive about these papers. For my MA literature review essay, I was told that this is the main reason students fail. They want the whole essay to be a critique
happy to although this is quite specific and i try to be broader in the group here. could you join my fb group and we can chat there? this would also be great for one of our live sessions / workshops we do regularly.
Professor, David Stuckler, dear colleague, my name is Pablo Ojeda and I am a postgraduate professor at the Universidad Pedagógica Experimental Libertador in Venezuela. The thing is, I've had some problems with some of my students when they do the literature review for their research papers. In advance, I would like to request your permission to use your methodology for a workshop that I am going to design in spanish, and thus, facilitate the work of my students. Of course all the credits to his work will appear. I hope you understand that I am making this request in attention to the quality of the concepts presented in the video.
Definitely I would of course be happy for you to share the training with your students and adapt it to their needs. We also have a step by step systematic review course (see the playlists section)
What makes other professors fail so much at teaching what you just taught. I want to be your student. I suffered through my masters because of lack of clarity from my professor.
