This accessible text provides a roadmap for producing a
high-quality literature review--an integral part of a successful
thesis, dissertation, term paper, or grant proposal. Each step of
searching for, evaluating, analyzing, and synthesizing prior
studies is clearly explained and accompanied by user-friendly
suggestions, organizational tips, vignettes, and examples of
student work. Also featured are excerpts from peer-reviewed
quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods articles. This is the
first book to focus on crafting different types of reviews
(systematic, traditional-narrative, or
hermeneutic-phenomenological) that reflect the writer's research
question, methodological choices, and approaches to knowledge. It
describes what all reviews have in common and highlights distinct
characteristics of each type. The book includes dos and don'ts for
evaluating studies and constructing an argument, and software
suggestions for locating, organizing, and arranging sources.
Pedagogical Features *Checklists and "To Do" activities that break
down key steps to take. *Boxed examples, graphics that organize and
visually illustrate key concepts, and summary tables. *Group
activities that invite students to further explore and apply the
methods discussed in each chapter. *Detailed directions for using
four different organizing strategies: synthesis matrix, summary
table, mapping, and topic outline. *End-of-chapter summaries and
"What's Next" sections. *Assessment matrices for reviewing and
refining the completed literature review. Winner (First
Place)--American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award, Nursing
