@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:31:31) - Themes to focus on: - purpose of LR/different types of LR/how to record key points/writing/developing argument/how to assess LR?#phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:32:16) - Do we integrate literature review throughout thesis or present it as a seperate chapter? #phdchat (original tweet)

@LBA_OX12 (22/05/13 18:33:09) - @NSRiazat Can we cover updating LR in light of data analysis etc? #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:33:53) - @LBA_OX12 - literature review is an ongoing process from start right up until viva #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:34:23) - @LBA_OX12 - just as soon as I get on top of the reading in my area - more appears.Have to just draw the line at some point. :-)#phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:35:31) - Being open minded can be challenging when reading material - being open to new points of view and being prepared to adjust.#phdchat (original tweet)

@LBA_OX12 (22/05/13 18:35:49) - @NSRiazat Same here. And new themes 2 explore are starting 2 emerge from data .... #phdchat (original tweet)

@Karenmca (22/05/13 18:36:34) - @NSRiazat #phdchat my literature review was key sources in introductory chapter, then further refs to them, and more detailed, subesquently (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:37:06) - @LBA_OX12 - lots of new themes emerged from my data which led to a lot more reading. #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:37:48) - @Karenmca - for mine the literature review chapter came after the analysis analysis chapter. #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:39:01) - Literature review appears to have different purposes throughout the life of the thesis. Identify info/identify gaps/focus questions#phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (22/05/13 18:41:53) - @NSRiazat @LBA_OX12 I have the same issue, which maybe isnt so bad, 'Not read' folder increases in size and never gets smaller#phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:41:55) - AHs anyone used the literature as a sounding board to test out their ideas re: credibility/reliability? #phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (22/05/13 18:42:51) - @NSRiazat it certainly helped me to do all those things #phdchat (original tweet)

@LBA_OX12 (22/05/13 18:43:41) - @NSRiazat That's sort of the other way round? #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:44:53) - @Paully232000 @LBA_OX12 - reading is never ending at doctoral level. #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (22/05/13 18:45:11) - @NSRiazat I did after I had finished my analysis. Checked to see if any lit could support my findings. #phdchat (original tweet)

@LBA_OX12 (22/05/13 18:45:11) - How 2 structure LR? Use RQs to provide starting point? #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:45:31) - @LBA_OX12 - yes - using grounded theory so had to put data findings before literature. #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:46:27) - @Comprof1 - used literature not just for information on my theme but also to find similar methodology to mine. Similar findings.#phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:46:58) - Reading widely helped to identify the gaps in knowledge and how my study will make a contribution. #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (22/05/13 18:47:19) - #phdchat What strategies do you use when you want to find targeted lit but can't. Looking for org writing feedback/editing feedback: nothing (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (22/05/13 18:48:14) - @NSRiazat Yes, to reinforce thesis, but more targeted than when started. #phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (22/05/13 18:49:02) - @LBA_OX12 knew research topic and used lit to find gaps in the research #phdchat (original tweet)

@LBA_OX12 (22/05/13 18:50:52) - @Paully232000 Yep. Using RQs to provide structure & explore in depth - relevant areas/topics emerged from reading round them#phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (22/05/13 18:51:00) - Has anyone done research to replicate what's already out there? What role did lit review play? #phdchat (original tweet)

@LBA_OX12 (22/05/13 18:51:53) - @Comprof1 Same here. Looking for new theme emerging from data & there seems 2 B v little written on it. #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (22/05/13 18:53:30) - @LBA_OX12 Don't know if that's good (new info) or bad (no one's interested that that direction) #phdchat (original tweet)

@ShahdAlshammari (22/05/13 18:53:57) - @NSRiazat literature review helps even when in the final process of writing up the intro and conclusion for the actual thesis#phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:55:24) - @ShahdAlshammari - agreed - great way to justify the research and the way you carried it out base don literature. #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:56:15) - ALWAYS reference page numbers for quotes and general reference of reading into the bibliography straight away. #phdchat#lostreferences (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:56:58) - It's true - you'll never locate that fantastic source of a quote again if you don't reference immediately. :-) #phdchat #sodslaw (original tweet)

@shazjameson (22/05/13 18:57:36) - @NSRiazat @LBA_OX12 Do you have a system for prioritizing what to read next? #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:57:49) - Having the confidence to know which literature to keep and which to dismiss from reading comes much later on in process? #phdchat(original tweet)

@Paully232000 (22/05/13 18:57:55) - #phdchat a LR is never really finished up until the thesis has been handed in (original tweet)

@shazjameson (22/05/13 18:59:02) - @NSRiazat Referencing immediately and for me input into ref manager asap, otherwise important pile of notes turns to a scrap heap #phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (22/05/13 18:59:14) - @shazjameson @NSRiazat @LBA_OX12 I would like to know peoples views on this as dont have one #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:59:24) - @shazjameson @LBA_OX12 - have RED, AMBER, GREEN folders; RED = urgent, orange read over coming week and green 'nice to read' #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 18:59:57) - @shazjameson @LBA_OX12 - trouble is that the reading pile changes on a daily basis in terms of priority as thesis develops. #phdchat(original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 19:01:01) - @shazjameson - I didnt use a reference manager - what are the benefits? #phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (22/05/13 19:01:13) - @shazjameson @NSRiazat I have found refworks to be a great resource for managing all LR material #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 19:01:33) - HOw do we keep track of new reading? Zetoc alerts? Journal trawls? #phdchat (original tweet)

@shazjameson (22/05/13 19:02:02) - @Paully232000 @NSRiazat @LBA_OX12 At the moment I'm using a daily academic to-do list + reading list with pressing papers in bold #phdchat (original tweet)

@shazjameson (22/05/13 19:02:59) - @NSRiazat Good idea. But what do you do with the papers when you're done reading them? @LBA_OX12 @Paully232000#phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (22/05/13 19:03:10) - @NSRiazat zetoc is brilliant for easy find of articles, but journal trawl with new search limits as i go along #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 19:03:45) - @shazjameson @LBA_OX12 @Paully232000 - I file mine in a filing cabinet as probabaly want to revisit them at some point. #phdchat(original tweet)

@Paully232000 (22/05/13 19:04:26) - @shazjameson @NSRiazat @LBA_OX12 I use my outlook diary for my academic to do list, need system for reading.like traffic light list #phdchat (original tweet)

@shazjameson (22/05/13 19:05:04) - @NSRiazat @Paully232000 Ref mngr can auto. clip refs from internet, save, store and sort attached papers & insert refs in docs#phdchat (original tweet)

@LBA_OX12 (22/05/13 19:05:24) - @shazjameson I keep electronic rather than paper copies. File by topic and also use endnote. #phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (22/05/13 19:05:52) - @NSRiazat @shazjameson @LBA_OX12 i try to not print out anything, (saving the planet or something) and use PC folders#phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 19:05:56) - @Paully232000 @shazjameson @LBA_OX12 - have to prioritise reading as work full time. Traffic light system works well to organise.#phdchat (original tweet)

@shazjameson (22/05/13 19:06:43) - @NSRiazat @Paully232000 Also useful tagging system and can have 1 paper in several folders at once, creating "collections"#phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (22/05/13 19:08:15) - @shazjameson @NSRiazat yes i keep folder separately for things like refs for conference papers/topics within LR #phdchat(original tweet)

@shazjameson (22/05/13 19:08:39) - @NSRiazat @LBA_OX12 @Paully232000 Right, I was thinking "where do you put the pdf when you move it out the PC folder". Doh. #phdchat (original tweet)

@NSRiazat (22/05/13 19:10:10) - Currently at the stage where collecting together all similar thoughts/themes from literature. #phdchat (original tweet)

@shazjameson (22/05/13 19:12:58) - @ProfHacker Maybe you'd have some thoughts on creating a prioritisation system for reading list with a digital library/ref manager? #phdchat (original tweet)

@shazjameson (22/05/13 19:14:35) - @LBA_OX12 Guided by an aim, that's always a good start to prioritising! :) #phdchat (original tweet)
