@NSRiazat (27/02/13 19:31:18) - Welcome to #phdchat - the topic for tonight is 'all aspects of the literature review' #phd #highered #doctorate (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/02/13 19:32:29) - Literature review is one of very first things we do for a doctoral thesis? Agree? Except for grounded theory = after data analysis #phdchat (original tweet)

@TallMIGirl (27/02/13 19:32:49) - @JeffreyKeefer I liked it! Looking forward to reading your dissertation/thesis as I am now a "distance" PhD student! #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (27/02/13 19:32:51) - evening all! Had feedback on 1st draft of l/r today. Good, but overwhelming amount of stuff to cover before progression in 2 mths! #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/02/13 19:32:53) - What are the various ways we use the literature review in our research? #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/02/13 19:33:35) - Worth thinking about the PROCESS of literature review and the END PRODUCT as two seperate things? #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:33:58) - @NSRiazat agree! Probably one of the most important parts - can't emphasise enough not to rush this stage! It should take time #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/02/13 19:34:50) - @EmmaBurnettx ~ why such an important part of thesis? Why not analysis which shows the findings? #phdchat #thinkingaloud (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:34:56) - @andienevitt congratulations! It is daunting, but stick with it! :)) #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/02/13 19:35:45) - Background research for me, justification for gap and also secondary data for analysis triangulation. #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (27/02/13 19:37:02) - @EmmaBurnettx Thanks! Trouble is, I've not read the stuff I now need to put in. It's like going back to square 1. Or at least 1B. #phdchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (27/02/13 19:37:37) - @NSRiazat: @EmmaBurnettx I am writing up discussion at mo and lit rev is useful altho big parts will be chopped as study developed #phdchat (original tweet)

@TallMIGirl (27/02/13 19:37:45) - @NSRiazat Yes 2 sep things. Writing L/R for proposal (confirmation paper) now, but doing Grounded Theory, so diff process AND prod #phdchat (original tweet)

@mjwalton13 (27/02/13 19:38:01) - How do you know when you have done enough of a literature review? When is the best time to stop #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:38:11) - @NSRiazat also fundamental in shaping research questions, theoretical framework, philosophical underpinning & methodology #phdchat (original tweet)

@AlmostDrB (27/02/13 19:38:40) - This is my struggle! @mjwalton13: How do you know when you have done enough of a literature review? When is the best time to stop #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahAlden1 (27/02/13 19:38:51) - @mjwalton13 I don't know if you ever really stop, is an ongoing process for me #phdchat (original tweet)

@AlmostDrB (27/02/13 19:39:41) - @SarahAlden1 @mjwalton13 But at some point you have to write a lit review and it must be bounded by something #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:39:51) - @andienevitt that means you are doing it right! It's hard, but have to go backwards more times to be able to go forwards #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (27/02/13 19:40:21) - @EmmaBurnettx Fair point, thanks! #phdchat (original tweet)

@gtombs (27/02/13 19:40:22) - @emmaburnettx Agree completely. Lit review critical for me - my findings can't be of use unless I can situate them properly #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:40:23) - @strictlykaren: @NSRiazat I am writing up discussion at mo and lit rev is useful altho big parts will be chopped as study developed #phdchat (original tweet)

@katieguacamole (27/02/13 19:40:36) - Lit review is enabling me to identify dilemmas/issues/gaps not considered at the start of the journey #phdchat (original tweet)

@mjwalton13 (27/02/13 19:41:05) - @NSRiazat I can definately see this being the case. I read widely, but will tailor what I include to fit my argument/research aims #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahAlden1 (27/02/13 19:41:07) - @AlmostDrB @mjwalton13 yes, hopefully when I come to finish up, I will stop finding things and thinking 'must include that' #phdchat (original tweet)

@TallMIGirl (27/02/13 19:41:32) - @EmmaBurnettx @NSRiazat L/R Purpose Demonstrate a fully professional grasp of backgr theory #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (27/02/13 19:41:55) - @AlmostDrB @SarahAlden1 @mjwalton13 I imagine it never stops, but yes, eventually artificial boundaries need to be put around it #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (27/02/13 19:41:58) - @AlmostDrB @sarahalden1 @mjwalton13 Isn't it often the case that we have to stop cos no more time?! Have to write 2 deadline #phdchat (original tweet)

@katieguacamole (27/02/13 19:42:09) - Lit review also helps to see what has not been considered in other studies, impacting on the originality of own research #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:42:19) - @mjwalton13 suppose it depends what type of lit review? I did structured lit reviews so they are done, but other types continue... #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahAlden1 (27/02/13 19:42:23) - @katieguacamole yes, agree, but sometimes it pulls me in so many directions! #phdchat (original tweet)

@TallMIGirl (27/02/13 19:42:36) - @AlmostDrB @mjwalton13 Have you tried writing the L/R? I found trying to write helped clarify what I needed to read #phdchat (original tweet)

@mjwalton13 (27/02/13 19:42:55) - @AlmostDrB @SarahAlden1 So at some point I will have to focus my attention on other tasks, but still keep up with literature? #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:42:55) - @gtombs 100% agree! #phdchat (original tweet)

@mjwalton13 (27/02/13 19:43:48) - I imagine I might discover ideas during my research/analysis which will require me to go back to the lit #phdchat (original tweet)

@AlmostDrB (27/02/13 19:44:15) - @TallMIGirl @mjwalton13 Not yet, but this is coming up very soon - I've never been a linear writer, about half the diss is done! #phdchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (27/02/13 19:44:17) - @EmmaBurnettx: @mjwalton me too, followed principles of systematic review so scope clearly demarcated, prob is theoretical papers #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahAlden1 (27/02/13 19:44:29) - @mjwalton13 @AlmostDrB now I have started research I spend far less time on reading literature #phdchat (original tweet)

@Lemness (27/02/13 19:45:03) - @AlmostDrB when u don't read anything new, or the same people keep coming up. . #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahAlden1 (27/02/13 19:45:04) - @SarahAlden1 @mjwalton13 @AlmostDrB I mean started *fieldwork! #phdchat (original tweet)

@mjwalton13 (27/02/13 19:45:47) - @TallMIGirl @AlmostDrB Good idea, atm I'm writing on different themes/topics with the lit, which I will change into chapters later. #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:46:07) - @strictlykaren @mjwalton I found it helped me keep my lit review very focused as my overarching topic very broad - best decision! #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (27/02/13 19:46:33) - #phdchat In my case study init lit review was survey of field.Now nearly finished writing findings, need other lit to inform. (original tweet)

@SarahAlden1 (27/02/13 19:46:46) - @SarahLaneCawte @AlmostDrB @mjwalton13 yes, I spend far less time on it now I have started fieldwork #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (27/02/13 19:46:57) - Can we say that over 50% of academic work is all part of a global lit review project? #phdchat (original tweet)

@AlmostDrB (27/02/13 19:47:15) - @mjwalton13 @TallMIGirl Multiple chapter lit review? Is that common? I can't even imagine! #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:47:38) - @SarahAlden1: @mjwalton13 @AlmostDrB it's nice to have that break from literature reading for a while! Enjoy your fieldwork :) #phdchat (original tweet)

@strictlykaren (27/02/13 19:48:17) - @SarahLaneCawte am I the same place as you right now! #phdchat (original tweet)

@AlmostDrB (27/02/13 19:48:20) - @SarahAlden1 @SarahLaneCawte @mjwalton13 Reading has slowed down, but I know the need to write and be approved by grad is looming! #phdchat (original tweet)

@jenniferkettle1 (27/02/13 19:48:47) - @NSRiazat PhD programme design can lead down particular route (e.g. by requiring literature review at certain point in process) #phdchat (original tweet)

@mjwalton13 (27/02/13 19:49:45) - @AlmostDrB @TallMIGirl I've read some theses' which have multiple chapters divoted to different parts of the review #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahAlden1 (27/02/13 19:51:31) - now I have started fieldwork realise there will not be as much room for literature review as I originally thought #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (27/02/13 19:51:38) - @strictlykaren Have to remind ourselves there is no 1 way.Writing thesis like this seems back 2 front 2 many.Nice 2 be different!#phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:52:01) - I found NVivo to be invaluable when managing my literature reviews. Sups recommended that I use it to help keep them very focused #phdchat (original tweet)

@mjwalton13 (27/02/13 19:52:17) - @EmmaBurnettx @SarahAlden1 @AlmostDrB Definatley! I balance my review with bits of feildwork, but I'm want to start research aspa #phdchat (original tweet)

@litreviewhq (27/02/13 19:52:32) - 1 hour before I talk to Helen Sword about making your writing stylish + FREE giveaway-Don't miss it http://t.co/yVpV2i9IBg #PhDchat #AcWri (original tweet)

@TallMIGirl (27/02/13 19:52:38) - @NSRiazat Thanks for the nod to GT... In order to meet institutional reqs., sometimes need to do a limited L/R for GT #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahAlden1 (27/02/13 19:52:57) - @EmmaBurnettx @mjwalton13 @AlmostDrB yes, it was great to come away from the literature and embark on original research #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:53:36) - @SarahAlden1 it's amazing how much you start off with and how little you actually end up with! #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/02/13 19:53:51) - @SarahAlden1 ~ having to cut down literature I will be using in the thesis otherwise there will be more literature than analysis. #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahAlden1 (27/02/13 19:54:29) - @EmmaBurnettx all part of the learning process I guess! #phdchat (original tweet)

@AlmostDrB (27/02/13 19:54:36) - @SarahAlden1 @EmmaBurnettx @mjwalton13 Yes! The part I (and probably we all) love! #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:54:42) - @mjwalton13: @EmmaBurnettx @SarahAlden1 @AlmostDrB That's when the fun begins! :)) #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/02/13 19:55:18) - Tip for reading faster - read abstract/intro and conclusion only - if relevant then read whole paper/chapter #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:55:29) - @SarahAlden1 absolutely! #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahAlden1 (27/02/13 19:55:35) - @NSRiazat yes, I have that problem, now I am embarking on fieldwork realise how much write up space that involves #phdchat (original tweet)

@AlmostDrB (27/02/13 19:55:52) - So how do you bound the review if your cmte is really eclectic and brings up a lot of issues? #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/02/13 19:55:53) - Thoughts on record keeping of reading done? I record mine straight away in bibliography so dont lose refs. #phdchat (original tweet)

@thesiswhisperer (27/02/13 19:56:10) - "I missed the space where I could encounter my intelligence and my stupidity" http://t.co/9tqITghQdM #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (27/02/13 19:56:23) - @NSRiazat I always feel the need to make notes and critique before I can decide if relevant. I can't be that strict with myself :( #phdchat (original tweet)

@annemsa (27/02/13 19:56:23) - @NSRiazat agree, its important with justification for gap to show that i have come up with something "new" #phdchat (original tweet)

@katieguacamole (27/02/13 19:56:48) - Finding I'm going back to old lit and reading with a different focus to help narrow down issues to be researched #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (27/02/13 19:56:55) - #phdchat It seems all of us worry. It's either "have I got 2 much lit?" Or "have I got enough?". Is it a glass half full or half empty situ? (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/02/13 19:57:01) - Anyone using reference management software? RefWorls/Endnote/ProCite? #phdchat (original tweet)

@AlmostDrB (27/02/13 19:57:51) - @NSRiazat Mendeley synched with Dropbox! I read on my tablet then paste notes into Mendeley so I know what's already been reviewed. #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (27/02/13 19:57:56) - My most useful reading happended once I had catetgorised analysis into themes. Gaps emerged at this point to focus reading. #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 19:57:57) - @NSRiazat for every (useful) paper I read, I complete a critical summary sheet. Invaluable! #phdchat (original tweet)

@andienevitt (27/02/13 19:58:00) - @katieguacamole Yes! Re-reading with fresh eyes is important. It's an iterative process isn't it? #phdchat (original tweet)

@mjwalton13 (27/02/13 19:58:21) - Does anyone have any tips on remembering what I've read? I can remember the gist, and struggle with specific names and papers #phdchat (original tweet)

@TallMIGirl (27/02/13 19:58:22) - @NSRiazat Am finding Zotero brilliant for references! Goes everywhere on every computer #phdchat #refsoftware (original tweet)

@AlmostDrB (27/02/13 19:58:39) - My digital workflow for literature: http://t.co/wKPI6y9hrg #phdchat (original tweet)

@jenniferkettle1 (27/02/13 19:58:49) - @mjwalton13 thats what I expect too, based on friends further along & that early data & conferences are already giving me new ideas #phdchat (original tweet)

@talesfromlabs (27/02/13 19:58:50) - @NSRiazat agreed, but when I need to hunt for troubleshooting tips I jump straight to methods - if relevant than whole paper (?) #phdchat (original tweet)

@katieguacamole (27/02/13 19:59:01) - @NSRiazat I read and annotate on Goodreader then transfer pdfs to endnote with refs, then make notes and keywords for each entry. #phdchat (original tweet)

@MarkRTurner (27/02/13 19:59:02) - @NSRiazat I use Endnote. Find it invaluable! So easy to use and makes life 10 times easier. Well worth 50! #PhDchat (original tweet)

@annemsa (27/02/13 19:59:41) - @NSRiazat I am using Endnote, which makes my writing easier, especially the articles, easy to change styles #phdchat (original tweet)

@coocho (27/02/13 19:59:49) - #phdchat I have a notebook in Evernote titled "Reading journal"& create a note for each article I read. Very convenient 4searching later! (original tweet)

@mjwalton13 (27/02/13 20:00:27) - @jenniferkettle1 advice I was given was to change the research aims to reflect what you actually found, not what you expected #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 20:00:37) - @mjwalton13 A critical summary sheet (just one page) with subheadings for each useful paper. Couldn't manage without them! #phdchat (original tweet)

@mjwalton13 (27/02/13 20:01:01) - @jenniferkettle1 So, changing the aims might mean doing more lit review #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (27/02/13 20:01:04) - @NSRiazat This is what I'm doing now and planning next batch of reading. #phdchat (original tweet)

@katieguacamole (27/02/13 20:01:15) - @andienevitt Oh good! Not just me then :) #phdchat (original tweet)

@coocho (27/02/13 20:01:24) - ref software: my best experiences were w Citavi. Love how they create new citation styles 4u within days if u send a stylesheet #phdchat (original tweet)

@TallMIGirl (27/02/13 20:01:26) - @coocho Ooh! like this one -- love Evernote (and, again, so portable) #phdchat (original tweet)

@mjwalton13 (27/02/13 20:01:46) - @EmmaBurnettx Good idea, I'll have to get some written up myself. I guess I can keep updating them over time too. #phdchat (original tweet)

@SarahLaneCawte (27/02/13 20:01:46) - @NSRiazat yes - Endnote. Basically cos I didn't know what else there was when I started. #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 20:02:15) - @u_mazhar it wasn't my favourite part either. Enjoyed it more when we decided to do structured reviews #phdchat (original tweet)

@jenniferkettle1 (27/02/13 20:02:22) - @EmmaBurnettx I've tried to keep records in word/excel but end up with long documents of summaries. How does nvivo help? #phdchat (original tweet)

@katieguacamole (27/02/13 20:03:06) - @mjwalton13 Have you used Endnote? Its quite hard to remember everything without some referencing/cataloging software #phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 20:03:19) - @mjwalton13 once you get into the habit it takes no time at all. Good to look back & see how your thinking changes too #phdchat (original tweet)

@coocho (27/02/13 20:03:21) - @TallMIGirl yes, Evernote notebooks are great as a knowledge database! I add tags for chapters or topic areas to each note, too #phdchat (original tweet)

@TallMIGirl (27/02/13 20:03:59) - @andienevitt @katieguacamole def an iterative process--always understand diff when I go back with fresh eyes and more context #phdchat (original tweet)

@ThomsonPat (27/02/13 20:04:14) - If youre planning to keep doing academic work post PhD then this lit work is the start, you need ways to find doc lits 10 years on #Phdchat (original tweet)

@EmmaBurnettx (27/02/13 20:05:15) - @jenniferkettle1helped me hugely to do a thematic analysis of the salient themes in the literature & conceptualise them #phdchat (original tweet)

@katieguacamole (27/02/13 20:05:32) - Using my iPad has helped me to keep lit review paperless so far by using dropbox and goodreader #phdchat (original tweet)

@DoctoralNet (27/02/13 20:05:51) - #acwri #phdadvice Happy Wed! Looking forward to #phdchat tonight-Topics supported here - http://t.co/IkqfVmoepd (original tweet)

@annascottpiano (27/02/13 20:07:01) - Beautiful. @thesiswhisperer: "I missed the space where I could encounter my intelligence and my stupidity" http://t.co/QHcLU3Ifit #phdchat (original tweet)

@mjwalton13 (27/02/13 20:07:44) - @katieguacamole I have an android with the same system - I must have saved a fortune on ink, and at least half a forest by now #phdchat (original tweet)

@annemsa (27/02/13 20:08:02) - @mjwalton13 @EmmaBurnettx great ideas! I also have to get some written myself. will recommend it for my students aswell #phdchat (original tweet)

@Elisotope (27/02/13 20:08:44) - @NSRiazat Used EndNote and RefManager earlier but switched to @Zotero. Easy to use and free. #phdchat (original tweet)

@jenniferkettle1 (27/02/13 20:09:40) - @mjwalton13 makes sense as research questions written before going into field, may not be most relevant issues to participants #phdchat (original tweet)

@mjwalton13 (27/02/13 20:09:56) - @katieguacamole I will make time to give it another go then. #phdchat (original tweet)

@jenniferkettle1 (27/02/13 20:13:52) - @SarahAlden1 @mjwalton13 @AlmostDrB although can also use feeling of needing to read more to put off fieldwork! #phdchat (original tweet)

@drwcarter (27/02/13 20:16:50) - Another day another opportunity to work on your #dissertation. Move your document forward in some small way. #phdchat #phdforum #socphd (original tweet)

@jenniferkettle1 (27/02/13 20:17:33) - @SarahLaneCawte @NSRiazat sounds gd approach, also trying to think in terms of themes, starting analysis alongside data generation #phdchat (original tweet)

@litreviewhq (27/02/13 20:19:21) - Never had a full house before but only 23 places left - who wants to write with more style? http://t.co/yVpV2i9IBg #PhDchat #AcWri (original tweet)

@RMITsgr (27/02/13 20:19:33) - Almost missed this: 1 hr to webinar w/ Helen Sword about making your writing stylish http://t.co/VZFcDUNUGU via @litreviewhq #PhDchat #AcWri (original tweet)

@DrDaveHowells (27/02/13 20:21:19) - #phdchat The question is everything. The best way to ask the question is the method. Clarity on the question is the lit review. (original tweet)

@justinohearn (27/02/13 20:21:47) - I am excited to be presenting at @vsawc2013. Victorianists are immense fun. No, really, we are. #phdchat (original tweet)

@jenniferkettle1 (27/02/13 20:23:58) - Dates of books/articles? Obv recent empirical & classic theoretical txts but with multi-generational focus lots more seems relevant #phdchat (original tweet)

@KathyEnget (27/02/13 20:25:08) - @EmmaBurnettx How doe NVivo help? #phdchat (original tweet)
