The document discusses the structure of a thesis and the importance of the literature review chapter. It explains that the literature review should be divided into three parts: literature survey, literature comprehension, and literature review. The literature survey involves collecting relevant literature, literature comprehension requires understanding the literature, and the literature review entails analyzing and discussing the literature. It also provides examples of how to structure the breadth and depth of the literature review for topics in knowledge management and information technology.

- 7. Thesis Structure Chapter 1. Introduction Chapter 2. Literature Review Chapter 3. Design Chapter 4. Development Chapter 5. Evaluation Chapter 6. Conclusions and Future Work
- 8. Thesis Structure Consider these as “logical chapters”, that is to say they might represent a number of physical chapters or a single section For example, “Chapter 2”, the Literature Review chapter might consist of a chapter on Knowledge Management , a separate chapter on Knowledge Elicitation Or for example, “Chapter 5”, the Evaluation Chapter might just exist as a section in the Conclusions and Future Work chapter.

- 10. Mirroring of Chapters Chapter 1. Introduction Chapter 2. Literature Review Chapter 3. Design Chapter 4. Development Chapter 5. Evaluation Chapter 6. Conclusions and Future Work
- 11. Mirroring of Chapters All of the main points raised in the Introduction chapter should be addressed in the Conclusions chapter. All of the main sections in the Research Method (or Design ) chapter should appear in the Data Analysis (or Experiment ) chapter. All of the main sections in the Literature Review chapter should be re-discussed in the Data Findings (or Reflections ) chapter.
- 13. Introduction Finding out what is happening in your area of research is a vital step along your journey to discovery, to find and understand how leading researchers in your field have tackled similar problems and the results they obtained, shortcomings they observed and methodologies they employed are the goals of the literature review process.
- 14. Introduction Additionally the literature reviews serves other purposes; It shares the reader with other studies closely related to your work It relates your work to the larger, ongoing dialogue in the literature It shows how your study is filling in gaps and extending prior studies. It provides a framework for establishing the importance of your study It provides a benchmark for comparing the results of your study with other findings
- 15. Introduction ...in other words...
- 16. Introduction ...the literature review...
- 17. Introduction ...is really, really important.
- 18. 2D Analysis The objective of this process is to systematically analyse the existing research and classify it in one of two dimensions. The breadth of the review is concerned with ‘ setting the scene ’, in terms of describing the foundational research in this particular domain, there will be research mentioned from each of the areas you have included in your spider diagram. The depth of the research concerns itself with the particular topic work that your research will be built upon. There should be approximately the same number of research papers covered in the depth and breath of the research review.
