Writing a literature review by Prof. Dr. Noel Scott
Online on TEAMS May 26th, 2022, at 10 am (GMT+2)
Online on TEAMS August 4th, 2022, at 10.30 am (GMT+2)
This workshop is organized in collaboration with the Emerald international peer-reviewed journal Consumer Behavior in Tourism and Hospitality (CBTH) https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/cbth
In this workshop Prof. Dr. Noel Scott will discuss the purpose of different types of literature reviews and provide some suggestions on how to write each type. The ability to write a literature review is vital for a successful academic and the basis for a useful research project. There are a variety of different purposes for writing a literature review although the central purpose is to provide a relevant conclusion from analysis and synthesis of the relevant literature. In a PhD, a literature review should begin by broadly identifying the topic, the various academic approaches and theories used to study it and then justify the choice of successively narrower ‘parts’ of that literature such that one (or a few) theoretically important research question within a conceptual framework is/are identified and justified as important. A journal review paper instead reviews a topic, usually from one disciplinary perspective, identifying and analysing the various substantive theoretical issues, points of agreement and debate and provides a synthesis and contribution to new knowledge. A bibliographic literature review examines the relevant literature on a topic, and provides some descriptive analysis of it, but does not usually seek to contribute to new knowledge. As such bibliographic literature reviews are not easily publishable in a research journal as any such article must make a novel contribution to theoretical or methodological knowledge. The presentation will be followed by discussion with participants.
