Introduce the work to the reader
clear overview of the whole project
Can be structured or unstructured (have headings or not)
Whole project = background, method, results/findings, conclusion, dissemination plan
The aims of this module are to provide the student with the opportunity to:
Design and execute an in-depth, substantial project focused on an issue relevant to health and/or social care.
Develop their understanding and skills in project management, research and evidence-based practice; critical appraisal, analysis and report writing
Creatively and appropriately consider how their project findings (potentially) could be shared
Grant and Booth suggest 14 different types of literature review https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1471-1842.2009.00848.x
But also other types/ terms for reviews are found that are not one of the 14.
Most relevant for you are probably
Integrative narrative review – reviews, critiques, and synthesizes literature, searches systematically, new insights are generated
Systematic review – overview of existing evidence pertinent to a clearly formulated research question, which uses pre-specified and standardized methods to identify and critically appraise relevant research, and to collect, report, and analyse data from the studies that are included in the review.
Other types are scoping, rapid, critical, state of the art, mixed method, mapping etc.
OR augmentative, historical, theoretical, methodological
Key aspects for a good mark: choose a method and stick with it, thorough, clear replicable search strategy, justified, quality assessment/critical appraisal
