Whether you’re writing an essay for class or an article to be published, there is an expectation that you will include a review of the relevant scholarship that precedes your own work, in other words: a literature review. But in a world already filled with existing scholarship, how are you supposed to decide which things count as relevant? What research steps could you take to identify relevant studies with which you aren’t already familiar? This webinar aims to help participants answer both of these questions. First, we will review some core principles that can help a writer determine a book or articles’ relevance for inclusion in their literature review. Second, with these principles in mind, we will show how a range of research techniques can be used when searching for and identifying relevant scholarship to be reviewed.​
