Search the literature for scholarly or peer-reviewed articles on your research topic/problem statement. Locate 10 empirical studies (each must be under five years old) addressing your selected issue. At least two of the 10 articles should have an ethical issue described and at least two of the 10 articles should discuss risk management of a project. Describe what you learned, how it applies to your research topic/problem statement, and what applications apply to your topic. Summarize the methodology, and research results, and provide an analysis of the empirical studies. Draw conclusions for the findings in your research.
Summarize each article. You may want to capture the following information with a tool such as One Note or RefWorks for later use in your doctoral project. Use this assignment and course as a way to build up a reference list for your topic.
Write a report/review of the literature you find that provides the following:
Key words in title and abstracts.
Theory referenced.
Purpose of research.
Results.
Conclusions.
Implications and recommendations.
Any ethical implications that exist as a result of the study reviewed toward project management.
Before we dive into the literature, it’s crucial to have a clear and well-defined research topic or problem statement. This will help us focus our search and ensure that the articles we find are relevant.
Please provide your research topic or problem statement.
Once we have this, we can start building our search terms and identifying appropriate databases.
Here are some potential databases to consider for your search:
The specific databases you’ll use will depend on your research area.
To organize your findings effectively, consider using the following structure:
Introduction:
Literature Review:
Conclusion:
As you mentioned, tools like One Note or RefWorks can be invaluable for organizing your references and notes. Other options include:
Remember to adhere to ethical guidelines throughout your research, including:
Once you provide your research topic or problem statement, we can:
