Doing Your Literature Review de Jill Jesson

Doing Your Literature Review

Autor Jill Jesson, Lydia Matheson, Fiona M Lacey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2011

În peisajul academic actual, recenzia de literatură nu mai este doar o etapă preliminară, ci a devenit o componentă obligatorie a cercetării, servind adesea ca proiect de sine stătător. Observăm că Doing Your Literature Review se poziționează ca un ghid metodologic esențial, integrat în curriculumul de cercetare și statistici sociale, oferind studenților instrumentele necesare pentru a naviga complexitatea surselor de informare moderne. Notăm cu interes abordarea tripartită a autorilor: Jill Jesson și Fiona M Lacey aduc expertiza pedagogică în supravegherea disertațiilor, în timp ce Lydia Matheson, specialist în informații, oferă rigoarea tehnică necesară procesului de căutare.

Suntem de părere că punctul forte al lucrării rezidă în clarificarea distincției dintre recenzia narativă tradițională și metodologia recenziei sistematice, subliniind avantajele și provocările fiecăreia. Comparabil cu The Literature Review de Diana Ridley în rigurozitate, volumul de față este actualizat pentru era digitală, punând un accent sporit pe utilizarea bazelor de date online și pe criteriile de evaluare critică a literaturii găsite. Structura este logică și progresivă, pornind de la definirea întrebării de cercetare și managementul proiectului, trecând prin tehnici de luare a notițelor și terminând cu aspecte etice fundamentale, precum plagiatul și drepturile de autor.

Spre deosebire de alte lucrări ale lui Jill Jesson, precum Supporting Children and Families, care se concentrează pe studii de caz sociale specifice, acest manual este un instrument transversal. Deși este publicat sub egida sociologiei, stilul accesibil și tabelele alb-negru explicative îl fac relevant pentru orice disciplină academică, oferind un parcurs sigur de la simpla colectare de date la sinteza critică.

Descriere scurtă

The literature review is a compulsory part of research and, increasingly, may form the whole of a student research project. This highly accessible book guides students through the production of either a traditional or a systematic literature review, clearly explaining the difference between the two types of review, the advantages and disadvantages of both, and the skills needed. It gives practical advice on reading and organising relevant literature and critically assessing the reviewed field.

Contents include:
  •  using libraries and the internet
  •  note making
  •  presentation
  •  critical analysis
  •  referencing, plagiarism and copyright.
This book will be relevant to students from any discipline. It includes contributions from two lecturers who have many years experience of teaching research methods and the supervision of postgraduate research dissertations and a librarian, each offering expert advice on either the creation and assessment of literature reviews or the process of searching for information. The book also highlights the increasing importance for many disciplines of the systematic review methodology and discusses some of the specific challenges which it brings.
 
Jill K. Jesson has worked with multi-disciplinary research teams within the Aston School of Pharmacy, Aston Business School and with M-E-L Research, an independent public services research consultancy. She has now left Aston University and is working as a Consultant.
 
Lydia Matheson is an Information Specialist working for Library & Information Services at Aston University.
 
Fiona M. Lacey is an academic pharmacist, a member of the pharmacy practice teaching group in the School of Pharmacy, and Associate Dean in the School of Life and Health Sciences at Aston.

Recenzii

'Tasks, tips, examples, figures and summaries in each chapter give the book a "self-guided" feel appropriate in a textbook, and the language is rarely arcane. Four useful appendices and a fine index complete the work. Overall, this is a sound guide for the absolute neophyte in how to create useable literature reviews. Part 2 is especially recommended as a good discussion of the ways and means of writing reviews. The work is useful for students at most levels, and for those who teach research methods and want a clear guide for literature reviews for their reading lists' -
G. E. Gorman
Online Information Review
'The main strength lies in the book's practical nature. The authors place great emphasis on the importance of proper searching techniques and encourage the use of specialist librarians. Chapters on reading and note-taking skills contain useful detail often missing from similar books - such as which bits of an article to read first, and how to make and store relevant notes that will be usable later. The examples of how to improve specific passages of writing are very valuable.'
The book does what it promises: it is an accessible and practical book, which many researchers can benefit from to improve their literature reviews.
