Critically Analyzing Literature

To familiarize yourself with your assigned project topic, it is key that you analyze the information that is out there. The first step is to do a literature review. Not only will this provide you with information to start your project, but it will serve as a reference source any time when you’re designing surveys, writing IRB’s, manuscripts, presentations, etc. The following table will serve as a guide for you to conduct your literature review. Please source 5-8 scientific, peer-reviewed pieces of literature regarding your topic. Sites such as Scopus, Pub-Med, Google Scholar, NCBI, etc. are all valuable tools you can use.
