What are we looking for in this literature review?
A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area and sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time period. This literature review will be more than just a simple summary of information from various sources as it will include an organizational pattern that combines both a summary and synthesis of information. Please keep in mind that a summary is a reâ€encapsulation of the important information found in the source, while a synthesis is a reâ€organization and combining of that information to present a more completepicture. Finally, the literature review will evaluate the sources and advise the reader of the most pertinent or relevant points.
Are there differences between plagiarism, paraphrasing, and quoting?
Paraphrasing is when you take a source or someone else’s idea and say it in your own words or even combine the ideas of severalauthors as well as your own. When you paraphrase, you will still give the author credit through the use of an inâ€textcitation connected to the idea as well as a reference at the end of the paper.
On the other hand,a direct quote from a source has quotation marksaround the quote or if 40 words ormore, it must be set in block quotation format.You can refer to the APA guidefor more information on this.
Plagiarism is when the writer simply copies the words directly from the source without giving credit with an inâ€text citation and a reference. Plagiarism is not permitted.
At the doctoral level, you should be relying almost exclusively on the use of paraphrasing to allow synthesis of the original author’s views with your own. A direct quotation should only be used in this literature review (or most other documents you will produce) when paraphrasing would change the author’s intended meaning. In other words, you should only use a quotation when it is the only way to convey what the author intended to convey.
