LITERATURE REVIEW

The Literature Review process normally begins with an academic literature search for recent scholarly sources published within the past 3-5 years. ARC has complete access to many different scholarly databases, enabling us to incorporate the most current developments pertaining to your research topic into your Literature Review. By focusing on predominantly current sources and accurately reflecting your research gap, we can clearly demonstrate your objectives and motivations – whether you intend to effect positive social change, influence the conventional methodology or theory, or something else – for your choice of topic.
Many universities require students to utilize 75-100 peer-reviewed sources, with at least 85 percent of these sources dated within the past five years. Sources older than five years should be carefully chosen seminal works that help to synthesize the conceptual or theoretical foundations of your study. Most Literature Reviews are required to be 40 or more pages in length; combined with the arduous source requirements and in-depth synthesis objectives, this makes the Literature Review a serious and important doctoral research undertaking!
