PhD Literature Review – How to start it | Critical, analytical literature reviewing for your doctoral thesis
Starting your PhD literature review well requires supercharged critical analytical skills. A doctoral thesis should be oozing with evidence of in depth critical thinking, so let’s squeeze that out!
Let me assure you - you are a critical thinker – because you wouldn’t be doing a PhD in the first place if you weren’t! But now, you need to showcase your critical analysis more effectively.
This fifth part of my PhD Survival Guide series will help you ensure you’re critical throughout your PhD thesis literature review by ensuring you’re reading intentionally and teaching you my four step critical analysis strategy.
Having supervised many PhD students to successful completion over the last 20 years, I understand how frustrating it can be to hear the words, “You need to be more critical”! However, I also know it won’t take you long to get the hang of my critical analysis strategies.
By the time you complete this PhD Survival Guide pack, you will be equipped with my critical analysis strategy and you’ll be surprised at how quickly you can now zip through academic literature, armed with a set of key questions, and get exactly what you need from it.
