It introduces the purpose of the literature review, explains the scope and boundaries of the review—what will and will not be covered—and describes how the chapter is organized. The introduction may also briefly restate the research questions or objectives in order to clarify how they guided the selection, inclusion, and structuring of the literature.\nThe introduction must also explain how the literature was sourced. This includes identifying the databases searched, such as ProQuest, JSTOR, or EBSCO, as well as the keywords and phrases used during the search process. It should also describe inclusion and exclusion criteria, such as limits based on publication date, peer-reviewed status, population, or relevance to the research questions. This sourcing paragraph demonstrates that the review is grounded in a thorough and systematic search strategy and supports the credibility of the literature review process.\nYour literature sourcing criteria must prioritize peer-reviewed, scholarly journal articles. Where peer-reviewed sources are not available—particularly in emerging or highly specialized fields—the next most credible sources are government-issued or government-sponsored research reports and white papers. The use of textbooks, such as Creswell and Creswell, is not permitted in the literature review, as these are methodological references, not peer-reviewed research. Dissertations, non-peer-reviewed studies, books, conference proceedings, blogs, .com websites, or other popular and non-scholarly sources are also prohibited.\nThe literature review must include at least 80 references, with most sources published within the last five years to ensure relevance and currency. The chapter should be no fewer than 30 pages in length, demonstrating depth, breadth, and scholarly rigor in engaging with the existing body of research.\nTheoretical or Conceptual Framework\nThis section builds on the preliminary framework identified in your Prospectus to provide a thorough, literature-based foundation for your study. The framework—whether theoretical or conceptual—should help explain the phenomenon under investigation, support the development of your research questions, and guide your study’s design, including your data collection and analysis approach.\nYou must identify the theory, model, or key concepts that form the foundation of your study. This includes:\nStating the full name of the theory or model\nNaming the originating author(s) and the year it was introduced\nCiting relevant, peer-reviewed sources that demonstrate the framework’s credibility and application in similar research contexts\nYour explanation must describe the core components of the framework and show how they align with your research problem and purpose. You should clearly discuss how the framework will inform the interpretation of your findings.\nNote: Depending on your study’s design, you will use either a theoretical framework or a conceptual framework—not both.\u000b Here is a basic distinction:\nTheoretical Framework: Drawn from one or more established theories. Often used in quantitative research. Helps explain why a phenomenon occurs.\u000b Example: Bandura’s social cognitive theory\nConceptual Framework: Synthesizes key concepts or constructs from prior research. Often used in qualitative research. Helps clarify what elements are central to the study and how they relate.\u000b Example: A model built from themes like engagement, identity, or persistence\nYou must also include a brief discussion of three to four alternative frameworks that were considered but not selected. For each, provide:\nThe name of the theory or model\nThe originator and timeframe\nKey concepts and relevance to the topic\nA short explanation of why the framework was not selected (e.g., misalignment with the research questio","cbCaice5OpIJpTH0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaice5OpIJpTH0","docx",17173,7,"English","# Introduction\n## Purpose, scope, and chapter organization\n## Literature sourcing strategy and criteria\n# Theoretical or Conceptual Framework\n## Selected framework components and credibility\n## Alternative frameworks considered\n# Review of Relevant Literature\n## Organization by themes, perspectives, methods, or chronology\n## Synthesis of agreements, disagreements, and gaps\n# Gap in the Literature","[{\"question\":\"How must sources be collected and evaluated for the literature review?\",\"answer\":\"Sources should be gathered through a systematic search using academic databases and specific keywords, with clear inclusion and exclusion criteria.
