Related studies review existing research on a topic, either conducted locally within one's own country or abroad, to justify the novelty of a research work and allow readers to see if the study's findings confirm or contradict previous work. A sample undergraduate thesis presented findings from a related study that analyzed fish inventory, length-weight relationships, condition factor and gonad histology of indicator fish species in river systems and coastal waters of Claver, Surigao del Norte, Philippines. Related studies are important as they offer a way to check the originality of a research work and allow comparisons to previous findings.
