NF80003 IS/IT Research Project Research Portfolio: Literature Review Overview This assignment challenges you to review and synthesize state-of-the-art literature relating to your chosen research topic. From the analysis of the literature you will develop a review to support the justification and intended directions of your selected research topic. The assignment will help you to develop a critical understanding of the key elements of your chosen research topics, help you to demonstrate advanced knowledge in the topic area, effectively communicate your ideas as part of a group, and the final review will act as a first artefact of your ability to conduct scholarly research. Requirements Searching Your analysis and subsequent write-up should be based upon the highest quality resources that relate closely to your selected topic. This may include finding internationally recognized peer reviewed journal articles, peer review conference proceedings, scholarly books and book chapters. In addition, you may consider including grey literature such as industry white papers, government reports, and so on, particularly where scholarly works are not yet available. Analysing Thinking critically involves attempting to identify the main points, issues, and arguments that are being discussed and evaluating those against each other – so as to form your own recommendations or positions on issues. Note, this last step does necessarily introduce some bias into the process. Questioning In constructing your literature review you might first think about the following questions. These are only suggestions, but they indicate the expectation of going below the surface, probing the thinking in articles, acknowledging multiple perspectives, trying to surface the assumptions being made, and so on. Please do not simply report what others say. You must report the ideas, and also analyse them. ▪ What do you think are the major issues(s) and/or challenges being discussed in the literature? What do you think is/are some of the key research aims that the writer(s) have explored in the literature? ▪ What were the main arguments presented by the writer(s) to support the ideas and any recommendations made? What evidence is presented to support these arguments? ▪ What is your opinion about the issues and arguments presented? Do you agree with the authors? What evidence are you using justify your position? ▪ Do you feel there are any significant omissions, weaknesses or limitations with the arguments and ideas presented? Does the position adopted by the author(s) agree with or support your own experience? ▪ Does the literature help you understand or appreciate important issues that are relevant to your research topic? If so, which ones? ▪ ‘So what?’ What are the implications for practitioners? How does the literature contribute to your chosen research topic? Synthesizing Marking Guide and Rubric Following on from the above, the review must identify the main points/issues/arguments that are central to your topic, evaluate and ‘weigh up’ those arguments, and make recommendations given you current understandings of the facts, personal experience, and any other knowledge you may have gained. Be sure to check the marking guide/rubric for an understanding of how grades are allocated in this assignment. Resources Please study the seminar materials relating to conducting and compiling literature reviews and syntheses. Use the advice and discussions stemming from the seminar, and follow the citations and links where appropriate. Feel free to use any other academic source based on your own research to support the process. Swinburne library resources and other online search tools will support your data gathering activities relating to your research topic. Format You will work individually to complete the assignment and the final review will be an individual submission. The review should be between 500-1000 words and include all the required cover page details, as per the unit outline Weighting The submission will constitute 20% of your final unit score. Extensions and Late Submissions Please refer to the information provided in the unit outline. You are welcome to discuss any issues relating to the submission with the Unit Convenor.
