Examine both Theory and Research Literature
Researchers often make suggestions for further research in the last section of their report
**** Could replicate a study
modify replication -
- new population
- improved measurement technique
resolve existing conflict (mentioned in literature)
new research almost always has its origins in existing research
Additional Benefits of Literature Review
- identify measuring tools (successful / flawed / avoided)
- identify dead ends
- style and organization used by others
Well-crafted review shows
- context within which the researcher was working
- justify a study - literature establishes importance of topic
- shows how research flows from previously published research
