@annatatton1 (30/01/13 19:34:43) - #phdchat any tips on writing that lit review? Is the main thing not to worry cos we're going to amend it in our final year anyway? (original tweet)

@leahmacvie (30/01/13 19:35:37) - @andienevitt Any milestone is a good milestone. Every time I complete a semester, I look at it as one checkbox checked. :)#phdchat (original tweet)

@srossmktg (30/01/13 19:35:57) - Easy: in committee and scheduled for defense next Thursday. RT @drwcarter: It's 9:05 do you know where your dissertation is? #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 19:36:08) - Do your best but don't be wedded to it because we'll have to change it toward the end! #phdchat (original tweet)

@leahmacvie (30/01/13 19:37:11) - I am looking forward to all of the tips presented today on the PhD lit review here at #phdchat! (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 19:37:49) - @leahmacvie me too! #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (30/01/13 19:37:59) - doing lit review 1st draft now. Had to break with my usual planning/writing style because couldn't manage all the info in one go #phdchat (original tweet)

@leahmacvie (30/01/13 19:38:19) - As a new candidate, I would ask for your recommendations/suggestions for developing a lit review. Should I be thinking about it now?#phdchat (original tweet)

@AshJones26 (30/01/13 19:38:36) - Plan a loose structure, write everything you can, send it to supervisor for changes. Dont worry. It will change loads. #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 19:38:59) - .@andienevitt That's interesting--how did you change it, if you don't mind my asking? :) #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (30/01/13 19:39:06) - @leahmacvie Yes indeed! Just keep swimming, just keep swimming #Dory #phdchat (original tweet)

@Queen_Claire (30/01/13 19:39:06) - #phdchat help! Where do I put publication dates in Sente? Am having a too thick to do a PhD evening. Pfft. (original tweet)

@annatatton1 (30/01/13 19:39:22) - #phdchat I recommend Chris Hart 'Doing a Lit Review' specifically page 27 (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (30/01/13 19:39:55) - @annatatton1 #phdchat Some ple think I am writing thesis back 2 front 'cos writing up findings before lit rvw. Findings inform further rdg. (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 19:40:22) - #phdchat @leahmacvie Never too early to start! I like to keep a 1 paragraph summary of each of each useful book on an index card. :) (original tweet)

@Abigail_Scheg (30/01/13 19:40:33) - @leahmacvie it's always a good time to start a list for lit review. There will always be more to read. #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (30/01/13 19:40:51) - @leahmacvie U shd think abt it right from the start and develop system for keeping consistent notes. U can add to it all way thro. #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (30/01/13 19:41:25) - @maggieyancey Usually do all reading/critiquing in one drawn-out chunk, then plan b4 I write the whole thing in a few days #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (30/01/13 19:41:35) - @NSRiazat hi everyone. Sorry I'm a bit late #phdchat (original tweet)

@slrichter (30/01/13 19:42:11) - Just discovered #phdchat via @leahmacvie. Great resource! (original tweet)

@AshJones26 (30/01/13 19:42:11) - Get an ethos account (FREE) (http://t.co/C1JALdTY). Its a database for phd thesis'. See how its done by people that have passed #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (30/01/13 19:42:18) - Working on thesis as an ongoing chapter even in final stages. Seems to evolve weekly. #phdchat #phd #highered (original tweet)

@andienevitt (30/01/13 19:42:19) - @maggieyancey have had to read/write/read/write and build it as I'm going. Feel like it's going to be over-write, then chop it down #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 19:42:22) - @EmmaBurnettx @NSRiazat Hi Emma, Welcome! #phdchat (original tweet)

@Judiebbrell (30/01/13 19:43:06) - Late too tonight - sorting kids! Hi everyone #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 19:43:14) - @andienevitt I like that! Good strategy. #phdchat (original tweet)

@aeratcliffe (30/01/13 19:43:36) - Consider a programme such as #scrivenerapp to make your notes. You can easily shuffle around, cut/paste, etc. #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (30/01/13 19:43:36) - Turning notes from reading and thinking into coherent chapter was challenging. Multiple sub headings structure helped. #phdchat #phd (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (30/01/13 19:43:48) - Very helpful to summarise each useful paper you read on a single critical review document as you go & relate it to own study... #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (30/01/13 19:43:59) - @maggieyancey thanks Maggie :) #phdchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (30/01/13 19:44:20) - @annatatton1 yes, I am now having to refocus,y review, what I said would not be relevant isn't grrrr #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (30/01/13 19:44:35) - @AshJones26 I love ethos! So brilliant to access all those hard to get at theses without using up all inter-lib loan credit. #phdchat (original tweet)

@leahmacvie (30/01/13 19:44:40) - Yay- welcome!! RT @slrichter: Just discovered #phdchat via @leahmacvie. Great resource! (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (30/01/13 19:44:43) - Recommend 'Ridley, D 'The Literature Review' - bit basic for post grad but still good general intro. #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (30/01/13 19:44:45) - @aeratcliffe I used NVivo to organise both my literature views - was brilliant! #phdchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (30/01/13 19:44:47) - Sorry I'm late, what's the official chat tonight #phdchat (original tweet)

@PhDForum (30/01/13 19:44:52) - Anyone have any inspiration to share with the wonderful @HelenaDarby1 #phdchat #phdadvice #phdforum (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 19:44:53) - @EmmaBurnettx Yes, exactly! I'm trying to convert my index cards to digital.... lol #Phdchat (original tweet)

@Judiebbrell (30/01/13 19:45:21) - @AshJones26 #phdchat love BL but too easy to waste a day just looking at other peoples work - procrastination! I am an expert in it! (original tweet)

@PhDForum (30/01/13 19:46:00) - @KTeePower very frustrating but you will get there #tenacity #resilience #phdforum #phdchat (original tweet)

@annatatton1 (30/01/13 19:46:06) - @strictlykaren thanks Karen, will try not to worry at this stage. #phdchat. Someone said to me PhD was 50% confidence - is that right? (original tweet)

@leahmacvie (30/01/13 19:46:09) - Great advice,@sarahlanecawte. I have been using#Evernote to track my reading. Would you recommend connecting concepts now, as well? #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 19:46:11) - @strictlykaren @annatatton1 But time researching/reading's never time wasted eg Edison's finding a lot of things that didn't work! #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (30/01/13 19:46:26) - @EmmaBurnettx #phdchat Yes - really good idea. So important not to waste time trying to find something u read 2 yrs ago. (original tweet)

@aeratcliffe (30/01/13 19:46:32) - @EmmaBurnettx I need to play with NVivo more to see how to use it for lit review. #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (30/01/13 19:46:55) - My topic was really broad so sups advised me to do two very structured lit reviews. Was excellent advice & helped keep it focused #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (30/01/13 19:47:22) - @maggieyancey I started with index cards too! #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (30/01/13 19:47:26) - @NSRiazat Sometimes basic is good! : ) #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (30/01/13 19:47:38) - @NSRiazat RT: "Multiple sub headings". Me too. I also highlight phrases in my own work so I can regularly check my structure #phdchat (original tweet)

@leahmacvie (30/01/13 19:47:41) - Thanks @abigail_scheg @maggieyancey I keep virtual notecards using #evernote, but possibly need to begin outlining. #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (30/01/13 19:48:06) - @aeratcliffe I only used the basic indexing to enable me to generate themes. Was so very helpful #phdchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (30/01/13 19:48:08) - @annatatton1 yes, I have nearly packed it in a few times, very close but now less than 6 mths from viva #phdchat (original tweet)

@Abigail_Scheg (30/01/13 19:48:35) - @leahmacvie never too early to start. Things will always change a bit. #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (30/01/13 19:48:58) - @SarahLaneCawte exactly! Also amazing to go back & see how different you read/interpret something after a while! Very differently.. #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 19:49:15) - @EmmaBurnettx cool! I still like physical act of writing-moving/creating an object with info that helps me retain. then i digitize! #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (30/01/13 19:49:28) - @aeratcliffe @EmmaBurnettx I wrote a review/paper on NVivo as a lit review tool which got v.good feedback, if you're interested? #phdchat (original tweet)

@annascottpiano (30/01/13 19:50:05) - @PhDForum @helenadarby1 I frequently turn to @thesiswhisperer! Maybe this? https://t.co/dFgJngVY #PhDForum #phdchat #phdadvice (original tweet)

@AshJones26 (30/01/13 19:50:13) - Mendeley is great for keeping notes on papers, and can be search through quickly. Which I found key for writing lit rev #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (30/01/13 19:50:40) - @leahmacvie I use broad headings cos focus & direction of study emerging as I analyse findings. Needs to be flexible but coherent #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 19:52:33) - Mendeley, Evernote, Scrivener, NVivo--advantages to each? Will they work with mac? #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (30/01/13 19:52:43) - @strictlykaren keep going - you will get there (soon!) :)) #phdchat (original tweet)

@Judiebbrell (30/01/13 19:53:10) - @aeratcliffe @andienevitt Really? never thought of using NVivo for lit review - need to investigate #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (30/01/13 19:53:16) - @EmmaBurnettx Yup! My focus changes daily as findings emerge. Bit last-min tho - emerging at same time as writing-up! #phdchat (original tweet)

@leahmacvie (30/01/13 19:53:19) - @sarahlanecawte Especially for my field- technology. This is great advice. #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (30/01/13 19:59:14) - After lit review, categorized/cross ref articles. Then used color tabs for concepts. When needed to go back to lit, easy to find cr #phdchat (original tweet)

@DrDaveHowells (30/01/13 20:01:22) - #phdchat Lit reviews: hook up 2 screens. Write headings on one. Put PDFs on other. Put names of PDF refs under headings. Write sections. (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (30/01/13 20:01:33) - @NSRiazat rumsey book how to find info is good also for lit review #phdchat (original tweet)

@annatatton1 (30/01/13 20:02:53) - @SarahLaneCawte #phdchat I do - just have the papers/books/reviews you need to hand and write up from them. Get into the confidence bubble (original tweet)

@andienevitt (30/01/13 20:03:18) - @annatatton1 @maggieyancey @EmmaBurnettx I have just discovered how brilliant graph paper is instead of lined. It's a revelation! #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 20:03:27) - @EmmaBurnettx @SarahLaneCawte #phdchatpostitholics #phdchat (original tweet)

@sccontrol (30/01/13 20:03:35) - Today our Prof suggested to use tables to summarize literature in a structured Way. This gives a good overview ... #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (30/01/13 20:03:50) - @SarahLaneCawte Used it in last month a lot (only with notes, pgs on thesis). #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 20:03:50) - @caitlin_holton Thanks! Zotero is amazing. Love it. #PHDchat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (30/01/13 20:04:04) - To manage lit rev prep I use a 3 column table; Article ref. | Quotes/Paraphrases | Themes + Keywords; It helps to see key ideas #phdchat (original tweet)

@bookworm_29 (30/01/13 20:09:04) - @DrDaveHowells didn't use quite the same system, but similalry organised PDF files and notes documents into groups to help #phdchat (original tweet)

@annatatton1 (30/01/13 20:09:07) - @maggieyancey @EmmaBurnettx #phdchat sorry might be a UK thing only - paperchase is a very posh, upmarket and expensive stationery shop. Fab (original tweet)

@ruthmassierose (30/01/13 20:09:34) - @TallMIGirl: paper by Boote and Biele that includes a rubric for judging whether your lit review is complete or not #phdchat -great ref TY (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (30/01/13 20:09:40) - @NSRiazat I cd spend all my time doing lit searches - love them! It's the focus that is sometimes lacking 4 me, but urgency helps! #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 20:10:02) - @caitlin_holton Thanks Caitlin! :) #phdchat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (30/01/13 20:10:09) - I would recommend crosschecking any automatically imported references. At times source sites may have errors #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (30/01/13 20:11:27) - I think maybe lit review is more focused/diff in UK than US. Many courses help in lit review in US. guided reading helps. #phdchat (original tweet)

@kesloane (30/01/13 20:11:27) - @shaileshak #phdchat I agree. I chose not to use Papers because it was a great organizational tool but I found loads of citation errors. (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 20:12:02) - @shaileshak Very true! It's easy to edit and fix bibliographic sources in zotero, and it works well with word. #phdchat (original tweet)

@DrDaveHowells (30/01/13 20:12:06) - @bookworm_29 #phdchat agree-gotta have a system. Good PDF 'coding' with year, journal title, title and author goes a long way with 1000s! (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (30/01/13 20:12:38) - @SarahLaneCawte @NSRiazat I agree. Sometimes helps to create questions at end. Helps to focus. #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 20:12:47) - @Comprof1 Excellent point! US readings courses are invaluable here. #phdchat (original tweet)

@annatatton1 (30/01/13 20:13:35) - @SarahLaneCawte #phdchat Yes - a senior academic said to me that 50% of the PhD getting done was confidence in yourself. Is that right? (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (30/01/13 20:13:36) - #phdchat Am finding the Pocket app someone mentioned in #phdforum v useful 4 saving some of this great advice & info. Great idea exchanges! (original tweet)

@sccontrol (30/01/13 20:14:57) - What Kind of articles do you choose for your litreview? Depending on Journal ranking, or sth. Else? #phdchat (original tweet)

@DrDaveHowells (30/01/13 20:15:01) - @SarahLaneCawte #phdchat searches are best done in front of the TV, download anything that takes your interest and 'code' it well for later. (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 20:15:01) - YES!!! #phdchat MT @annatatton1 A senior academic said to me that 50% of the PhD getting done was confidence in yourself. Is that right? (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (30/01/13 20:15:08) - @annatatton1 @SarahLaneCawte Yes. Especially when there are challenges/rejection. #phdchat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (30/01/13 20:15:22) - @kesloane I still use it as it saves typing; then checks it manually. Occasionally it had errors #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (30/01/13 20:16:19) - @SarahLaneCawte Mostly because it's nice to doodle around the grid lines, and it looks neater when I write outside the lines ;) #phdchat (original tweet)

@LUDissertation (30/01/13 20:16:29) - @SarahLaneCawte I open new doc, put ref. list entry at top. Then take notes, putting all quotes/summaries in APA format w/ p. #. #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 20:16:34) - @TallMIGirl @Comprof1 Totally different. Advantages to both systems, but I LOVED my readings courses! #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (30/01/13 20:16:56) - @sccontrol Sometimes best ideas not in top rated journals. Also sometimes POORLY written/argued article is insiperation #phdchat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (30/01/13 20:16:57) - @maggieyancey I started with zotero. It was too good that I felt lazy and started to over collect literature without evaluating #phdchat (original tweet)

@ruthmassierose (30/01/13 20:17:37) - @TallMIGirl: Anyone else doing Grounded Theory and struggling with the Lit Review? #phdchat <- yes but it's done at a different point (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (30/01/13 20:17:57) - @sccontrol I used bibliography of good articles to find new lit. Also, sometimes we forget older books/journals #phdchat (original tweet)

@maggieyancey (30/01/13 20:18:01) - One really useful habit I acquired in my US university readings courses was writing a 500 word summary/review of each book. #PhDChat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (30/01/13 20:18:03) - @Judiebbrell @aeratcliffe It's useful for organising notes, but care needs to be taken with relying on the tool instead of yourself #phdchat (original tweet)

@LUDissertation (30/01/13 20:18:31) - @SarahLaneCawte I use that system for articles not dissertation, but I can copy and paste my quotes straight into working draft. #phdchat (original tweet)

@bookworm_29 (30/01/13 20:18:38) - .@TallMIGirl oo I need to look up grounded theory as part of post-viva corrections-totally new 2me so any guidance would be fab?! #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (30/01/13 20:18:41) - @DrDaveHowells That sounds dangerously like multi-tasking! Bet it doesn't work if u r watching Uni Challenge. Gd point:perspective #phdchat (original tweet)

@annatatton1 (30/01/13 20:20:00) - @Comprof1 @SarahLaneCawte #phdchat any more tips to resolve a lack of self confidence? (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (30/01/13 20:20:08) - @andienevitt #phdchat Ah - that's the kind of answer I like. Was afraid it was something v technical that I had missed till now. (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (30/01/13 20:20:52) - @TallMIGirl My advisor told me not to worry. You'll probably redo entire lit review Use intial to develop research ?'s & methodolgy #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (30/01/13 20:21:18) - @maggieyancey Sound advice. I do this, and if I get stuck I write my summary like I'm talking to myself about what I just read #phdchat (original tweet)

@DrDaveHowells (30/01/13 20:21:27) - @sarahlanecawte Most of the work is 'structural'. Save the cognitive effort for when you really need it! #phdchat (original tweet)

@LUDissertation (30/01/13 20:21:41) - @maggieyancey Good strategy! Can't read your way to completed dissertation, have to write every time you read or you'll forget #phdchat (original tweet)

@ruthmassierose (30/01/13 20:22:13) - @TallMIGirl @bookworm_29 classic refs. Also try Birks and Mills (2011?) which is very readable #phdchat #GroundedTheory (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (30/01/13 20:23:05) - @Comprof1 @sccontrol 1st thing I do with bk/article is read refs to check I am aware of all that's relevant & note new things.#phdchat (original tweet)
