Research Scholar Zainab Saleem
What is a literature review?
A literature review is an examination (not an information dump) of the research that has been conducted in a particular field of study.
Definition (Hart 1998)
The selection of available documents (both published and unpublished) on the topic, which contain information, ideas, data and evidence. The selection is written from a particular standpoint to fulfill certain aims or express certain views on the nature of the topic & how it is to be investigated
Why take the time to write a good literature review?
From researcher perspective
To identify gaps in the literature To avoid reinventing the wheel (at the very least this will save time & it can stop researcher from making the same mistakes as others) To provide some ideas that might not of thought of own self
From supervisors perspective
To demonstrate that one can access & evaluate others work To spark off ideas for future projects (cause they probably know less than one can think)
From industry mentors perspective
To provide a resource they can refer to when wanting more information on the topic
The Importance of Working with Literature Working with literature is an essential part of the research process that:
Generates ideas Helps form significant questions Is instrumental in the process of research design
How to structure a literature review??
- Generally use the inverted pyramid
Broad introduction to topic At the end of the literature review the reader must have only one thought in their heads««. level of detail
That this research question must be answered!
Your research question
Who can you trust (everything you read is not 100% true)? Probably the information being collected from Journal papers Conference papers Books Media releases Websites etc
What may need to consider when assessing the information: Who wrote it & why did they write it (what information did they leave out, how did they µspin¶ the results)? Where was it published & how was it reviewed/edited (i.e. journal paper or mad magazine)? When was it published (and what information has come out since)? Are the conclusions valid based on the results? How rigorous were the tests performed/data analyzed?
A need to get an opinion on the literature being reviewed as to How good Bad Useful it is This needs to come out in review
Finding literature
Don¶t go it alone!!
When looking for literature be sure to call on the experts such as:
librarians supervisors other researchers practitioners
Managing the literature
It also pays to be organized and thorough when it comes to keeping references.
Keep & file copies of relevant books, articles, etc.
Find out about the recommended referencing style & use it from the start
Annotating Sources
Annotating sources provides with a record of relevant literature. It should include:
the citation articulation of the author and audience a short summary critical commentary notes on relevance that remind the significance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited
Using the Literature
Literature is used for disparate purposes throughout the research process. Whether it be:
focusing interests defining questions arguing a rationale theoretically informing your study developing appropriate design, or writing a formal literature review
Every stage of the research process demands literary engagement
The Formal Literature Review
The formal literature review is a very specific piece of writing designed to:
inform readers about topic establish credibility as a researcher argue the need for, and relevance of work
Writing Literature Review
A good literature review is an argument that is more purposeful than a simple review of relevant literature
Writing a good review requires to:
read a few good reviews write critical annotations develop a structure write purposefully use the literature to back up arguments review and write throughout the research process get feedback be prepared to redraft
Style and Tone«
Writing a good literature review can be likened to holding a good dinner party conversation They both require individuals who can engage, learn, debate, argue, contribute, and evolve their own ideas, without being hypercritical or sycophantic (apple polishing)
Things to Remember
Make sure the structure is logical ± a good literature review will ensure that the reader doesn¶t need to think while they read it Make sure the research question is obvious and its importance clearly highlighted by the end of the review
Ask your supervisor if they can recommend a good example of a research Master¶s thesis literature review ± it is much easier to understand what a good one is by reading it! Referencing ± use the style recommended by your university, as well as putting all references into Endnote as you read them

Everything was delivered on time and was just what we ordered. No complaints and would definitely use them again for our next trip to Orlando!
They were so easy to use. I loved the follow up call after the order was placed then again while on vacation to be sure I received my package.
Loved it especially worried about feeding our allergy child and if I would have to pack a whole suitcase for her food. Thank you thank you!

Amazonian bullying
Sunday, March 30, 2008 | Posted by Satima Flavell
In publishing, its seems, everything is loaded against the small operator. Last year we had that nasty business of the big Australian bookseller, Angus and Robertson, trying to bully small publishers into unfavourable contracts. Now it looks as though Amazon.com has come up with another way to tighten the thumbscrews.
Amazon is apparently trying to force independent Print-On-Demand-based publishers to use its BookSurge POD service. They are being told they that if they don't switch to BookSurge, the "buy" button on their Amazon.com book pages will be "turned off." If they refuse, they will be offered an alternative: they will be allowed to offer their books on Amazon under a plan whereby Amazon takes a 55% cut plus an annual registration fee and the sellers pay to send their books to Amazon's warehouses. If this kind of thing isn't tantamount to trying to establish a monopoly I don't know what is.
If this scheme goes ahead I will be boycotting Amazon and I'm sure many other people will, too. I have several friends who are published by small presses here or overseas, and those small presses in North America will go out of business if they refuse to co-operate with Amazon, their main outlet.

Amazon is apparently trying to force independent Print-On-Demand-based publishers to use its BookSurge POD service. They are being told they that if they don't switch to BookSurge, the "buy" button on their Amazon.com book pages will be "turned off." If they refuse, they will be offered an alternative: they will be allowed to offer their books on Amazon under a plan whereby Amazon takes a 55% cut plus an annual registration fee and the sellers pay to send their books to Amazon's warehouses.

Gordon Bennett! Honestly, I can't remember the last time I used Amazon to purchase a book-- I always prefer to go through the presses themselves and put the money right into the horse's mouth (so to speak)-- but a stunt like this 100% guarantees that i shan't be using them in future, for anything.

We watched it — well, most of it, including the start and the end, and parts of the plodding middle — so that you don't have to. And we'll say this about that: don't. Don't waste your time. This $35 million contribution in kind to the 2008 Obama campaign is as bad as the reviewers said (most of them probably didn't watch the whole thing, either). It's possible but It's been decades since we personally put that much effort into anything that doesn't earn a badge.
And yet, the cast is full of incredible talent: Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, Michael Peña. The movie is not overly long. (Well, it is, really, at two minutes short of an hour and a half; this could be cut to fit in a half-hour TV slot, with commercials, and not lose anything meaningful to the plot. But it would still probably be too long).
So what happened? A bad script, no, a truly dreadful script, and a director whose celebrity has outpaced his meager talent (that would be Robert Redford, also appearing as a Mary Sue character as an all-wise college professor in a talky, plodding subplot).
The movie has a three-stories-in-one conceit ripped from the milieu of off-Broadway theater — first-night-closing variety. Stop us if you've heard this before: Stereotyped soldiers-as-losers-who-get-stuck-in-Afghanistan by Stereotyped DC Cheesers driven by greed and malevolence (that's the other kind of movie "projection"), can only be saved by Stereotyped Crusading New Journalists (for which they cast a now-Metamucil-age actress from the actual baby boomer New Journalist era) and Stereotyped Righteous Professors (for which they cast Redford, an actual baby boomer full of Vietnam War bullshit which he emits interminably).
The three stories are (spoilers, because you're not really going to watch this steaming turd, are you?)
- a professor encourages his students to get out of the school and experience stuff for real; he's appalled when two join up, and spends the bulk of the movie counseling a third. The payoff in the movie is apparently going to be this punk kid's decision. By the end of the movie, nobody cares about him, but it still feels like a waste when he makes no decision.
- the two students who joined up go on an operation, where everything goes wrong, they're abandoned in the mountains and go out in a blaze of glory at the end.
- a journalist who opposes and wants to undermine the war in Afghanistan interviews at great length (really great length….zzzzzzzz….) a slippery politician whose "new strategy" is seen by the journalist, herself the sort of strategy expert one becomes by interviewing politicians interminably,
Only the military story resolves, if unsatisfactorily. The other two are left hanging, even though they make up the lion's share (no pun intended) of the screen time.
Acting and Production
Robert Redford is still handsome, if you like the dissipated Kennedy look, but Cruise is handsome and younger, works a lot harder to try to sell his crudely written part. Streep is still homely, which helps with verisimilitude if you remember your J-school chicks from college, but gives her crudely written part her best shot. Even Streep can't save a part that is clearly meant to be a more verbose and less empathetic Barbra Walters. She has a decision to make — does she run the interview with Cruise's Ambitious Politician Stereotype #3B, as her bosses (shallowly drawn as "corporate stooges", the favorite villain of Hollywood Bentley Bolsheviks) want her to do, or does she quit and take her crusade against Cruise's character to the public? The movie leaves you hanging, without knowing what she did, not that you really care by that point. (Not that the public cares, they're changing the channel so that they can tune in Even the Kardashian Guys Have Boobs).
Redford, and his scenes, are painful to watch. An actual director who was anybody except ego-tripping Bob Redford would have taken the scissors to most of Redford's screen time; his professor sits behind his desk (presumably so we can't see his Depends) and yabbers, yabbers, yabbers at a his students, as the movie tells us rather than shows us that he's the most beloved mentor on campus, yadda yadda yawnskins.
As mentioned above, the student who has to make some decision also doesn't, after Redford and whatever bozo wrote the script having set that up with a Niagara of verbiage for nearly ninety minutes. And neither the character nor the actor in the part of the kid is at all appealing — for all the talk about changing the world, he's going to wind up as a midlevel bureaucrat at VA screwing vets out of X-rays or something. Or, worse, a Hollywood screenwriter.
The score is neutral — neither intrusive nor, really, noticeable. Was there a score? And the cinematography is dark, especially in the "Afghanistan" scenes, which were shot during daylight and darkened — overdarkened — in post-production (see example in the section below). In a theater this was probably bad enough; on TV with the TV network's white logo embedded in the corner of the screen, whatever was happening on the screen was washed out.
Fortunately, nothing was happening on the screen. The whole movie is paced like a three-toed-sloth on Thorazine.
Accuracy and Weapons
For a movie that's ostensibly about the War in Afghanistan, there's little time spent on actual fighting. The two abandoned Rangers have M4s that have fake ACOGs on them:
Apart from the fake ACOGs and the use of Tauruses for Berettas (which has to do with blank adaptation and Hollywood being cheap, and, frankly, it's a licensed Beretta anyway), the movie doesn't botch the guns. Well, except for how they're used.
The troops don't act much like troops. They act like the way the sort of deskbound know-it-all that Redford's character and his students condemn think that troops act.
The strategy change that Cruise's character talks about, putting small teams at remote points, was never proposed by anyone; actually, it's pretty close to what we (SF) did in the early months and years of the war, before the Pentagon decided we need to get a broader range of career officers' tickets punched.
But by 2007 it wouldn't have made any sense at all. But nothing in this plot has to make sense. Cruise's character just has to say some things while we're signalled with all the subtlety of a .500 S&W Mag that this is the bad guy.
We love Michael Peña as an actor, but his character and the other dude's portrayal of doomed helplessness is a deep insult to a couple of million of GWOT veterans.
Even the depiction of college isn't remotely realistic, and is anyone else tired of crusading reporters? It's past time for crusading reporters to meet some real-world Saracens.
Special appearance by that creature of the New York media, the Dreaded Afghan Winter™.
The bottom line
If you see this movie coming, split.

AN INTERNATIONAL BODY of the largest organisations and accounting firms in the world has released a prototype of an integrated reporting framework.
The International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) has released a prototype of a framework to allow financial report compilers to integrate non-financial information, such as environmental and social economic costs, into financial statements.
The prototype is the first of its kind and more than 80 businesses and 25 investors from more than 20 countries piloting the framework. Following the pilot the IIRC plans to release a formal consultation draft in April 2013 with the final version, 1.0, to be rolled out in December next year.
The IIRC is a collection of representatives from the largest international companies, institutes and firms with former ICAEW president and ex-director of the Financial Reporting Council Paul Druckman as its CEO.
Druckman (pictured) said: "By publishing the prototype, we are encouraging businesses to start testing the principles of integrated reporting and evaluating their relevance and applicability.
"We have found out the hard way in recent years that our capital markets, governance and reporting systems need to evolve to encourage financial stability and a greater long term focus. Integrated reporting will be one of the tools that ensure we don't slip back into 'business as usual'".
Members of the IIRC include HSBC, the Big Four, Microsoft, ACCA, ICAEW, Deutsche Bank, Grant Thornton, Marks & Spencer, SAP, Tata Steel, and Unilever

Ron Masak

Often introduced as "one of America's most familiar faces," it's likely that you've caught a glimpse of Ron Masak either in one of his over 300 appearances in various television shows, on that commercial that lingers in the back of your memory somewhere (he was once blessed with the moniker "king of commercials" and was the voice of the Vlassic Pickle Stork for 15 years), or maybe in one of his 15 feature film appearances. Whatever you might recognize him from, if you don't remember his name, he's the guy that you know you've seen somewhere before, but just might not be able to place where. A native of Chicago, IL (he was once offered a contract with the Chicago White Sox by Hall-of-Famer Rogers Hornsby), Masak was classically trained as an actor at the Windy City's own CCC. A tireless performer, Masak found an initial platform for his talents in the Army, where he toured the world entertaining in an all-Army show in which he served as writer, performer, and director. Masak became well-known not only for his acting abilities, but for the fact that he was a dedicated performer who never missed a show. Proving himself adept at roles ranging from Shakespeare to his almost decade-long stint as the sheriff on Murder She Wrote, Masak thrived in theater and in commercial work around Chicago in the late '50s and early '60s.
After a few minor roles in such television series as Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, The Monkees, and The Flying Nun (not to mention what many consider to be one of the earliest Elvis impersonations on the Spade Cooley Show in 1958), Masak was spotted by producer Harry Ackerman early in his career and went to California to audition for a lead in a pilot. Though that particular prospect fell through, Masak was introduced to John Sturges, a meeting which resulted in his feature debut in the cold-war thriller Ice Station Zebra (1968). Masak's work as an emcee is another testament to his universal appeal and versatile likeability; he has served as host for some of the biggest names in show business, including such talents as Kenny Rogers and Billy Crystal. Masak also starred in four of the most successful sales motivational videos of all time, including Second Effort with Vince Lombardi and Ya Gotta Believe with Tommy Lasorda (which Masak also wrote and directed). The first recipient of MDA's Humanitarian of the Year Award, Masak's work as field announcer for the Special Olympics and his eight-year stint as host of The Jerry Lewis Telethon represents only a fraction of his remarkable work as a compassionate philanthropist, and though Masak's film work may not be as prolific or as frequent as his extensive television work, his roles in such films as Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970) are always memorable and constantly ring true with an appeal that often leaves a lasting impression, even though his screen time may be brief and his characters secondary.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor will visit more ''theatrical'' venues on her upcoming ten-date UK tour.
The 'Murder On The Dancefloor' hitmaker, who released her fifth studio album 'Wanderlust' this week, will head out on the road again in April and plans to visit some of the country's more usual venues, including London's Union Chapel in Islington.
She told BANG Showbiz: ''We're going in April and I'm using the same band as the guys who recorded the album with me so we'll get the same feel.
''We're playing more interesting venues, the one in London is a church, a few of them have got that theatricality, which seemed fitting for an album like this.
''I'll still do the old songs like Murder [On The Dancefloor] and Groovejet because they're songs I love to sing live.''
The 34-year-old singer thinks she's ''one of the lucky ones'' after more than 10 years in the music industry and no longer feels pressured by what's in the charts.
She said: ''I always feel the same way about the charts, there's always lots of stuff I do like and then a load of stuff I think is rubbish.
''It's always the case with the stuff that's rubbish you think, 'Oh my God, why do I even bother? I might as well just stop and find some other day job.'
''Then you hear something good and you think, 'That's really given me the bug, how exciting'. There's still plenty to get excited about.''

Robin Hammond Wins $30,000 W. Eugene Smith Fund Grant
Posted by David Walker on Wednesday October 16, 2013 | Photojournalism
Posted by David Walker on Wednesday October 16, 2013 | Photojournalism
Photographer Robin Hammond has been awarded the 2013 W. Eugene Smith Grant, a $30,000 prize, to help complete his ongoing project called "Condemned–Mental Health in African Countries in Crisis." Hammond has spent two years working on the project, which documents the mental health crisis across Africa, and the abuse and neglect of victims of mental illness.
The $5,000 W. Eugene Smith Fellowship was awarded to Javier Arcenillas for his project, "Red Note," an examination of violence in Latin America from the perspectives of criminals, victims, and their families.
The W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund awards its annual grant and fellowship to photographers who are pursuing long-term documentary projects in humanistic photography in the tradition of photojournalist W. Eugene Smith.
The awards were presented at the School of Visual Arts Theatre in New York this evening. Scott Anderson, who has covered conflicts for The New York Times, Outside and Esquire and and is the author of Lawrence in Arabia, gave the keynote presentation.
The Smith grant and fellowship recipients were selected by a jury, including Sarah Leen, Senior Editor, Photo Story Development at National Geographic; Ann Thomas, Curator of Photographs, National Gallery in Ottawa, Canada; and Rich Clarkson, head of Rich Clarkson and Associates, and a longtime Smith Board member.
The winners were selected from 184 entries from 42 countries.
"Robin Hammond's Condemned is a powerful look at people balanced on the edge of life who are generally neglected, forgotten and often abused," said juror Sarah Leen in a prepared statement. "His images, often shocking but always tender, highlight this tragedy and search for moments of hope. His work stood out among many worthy candidates."
Finalists for this year's grant included photographers Bharat Choudhary, Edmond Clark, Maxim Dondyuk, Sebastian Liste, Benjamin Lowy, Pierpaolo Mittica, Ebrahim Noroozi, Sim Chi Yin, and Christian Warner.
This year's winner of The Howard Chapnick Grant, which supports photographic leadership and education, was FotoKonbit, a non-profit organization that provides photography workshops to Haitian youth and adults. FotoKonbit will use the $5,000 grant to produce a ten-day workshop for a group of Haitian students in the fishing village of Labadie.
This year, the W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund was sponsored by American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP), Anastasia Photo, Canon USA, The Harbers Family Foundation, and Open Society Foundations. Additional support was provided by International Center of Photography, MediaStorm, NYC FOTOWORKS, Photo District News, School of Visual Arts, and Synergy Communications.
The Howard Chapnick Grant was co-sponsored by by Rich Clarkson and Associates LLC, NYC FOTOWORKS, and The Harbers Family Foundation.
Photographers interested in applying for the 2014 grant and fellowship can find more information on the Web site of the W. Eugene Smith Foundation here: www.smithfund.org/apply/smith
