This lesson talks about the literature review, which can be described as an objective and concise critical summary of a published article and the basic principles of how to write a literature review, placing contextual information where it will be most helpful to the reader when writing a literature review, and some examples of literature reviews are provided later on
Literature search process and experience:
Read the abstracts and summaries in depth:
When reviewing the search results, based on the keywords in the title of the paper I can determine whether I need to go through it or not, and I pay special attention to the abstracts and summaries of the literature. This helps me to quickly determine whether the literature fits my research topic, which saves me a lot of time.
Searching for cited literature:
When reading relevant literature, I pay special attention to the citation section of it. In the important literature that I used as a reference study, I also made a cursory viewing of its citation section, and these citations provided me with more relevant literature that expanded the scope of my research.
Through this in-depth search journey, I managed to accumulate a wealth of literature resources that provided a solid foundation for my film-themed dissertation. This exploratory process not only enriched my research horizon, but also stimulated my desire for a deeper understanding of film themes. Next, I will read these literatures in depth to provide a more comprehensive and profound argument for my dissertation writing.
