How I am organizing and taking notes when it comes to “Literature Review”.

A 🧶

@ThePhDPlace @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter #SciComm #phdchat #Science Image
Note 1: If you have read all my threads so far, then you know that I have written about (many) tools and formats (s) to search for literature reviews. Now, it’s time to see how you can write your literature review.
Note 2: This is a combination of two methods that I am trying as of now and have clubbed together. Even though I am still in my developing stage with this format, I thought to share it here.
Note 3: As far as I can remember, I got these points from two templates which were originally written by -- the productive academic and Queens university.

This is the “Thesis breakdown” or you can call it the “Outline of the dissertation” that I am following for my PhD.

Note: I got these points as one image a while ago but here I am -- who made that image into a presentation. I kind of followed this outline for two of my previous thesis. Also, these are chapter breakdowns.

I hope this turns out to be useful in your PhD dissertation writing.

Research students: Have you come across something called a “Research Skills Checklist”?

I was passed on a checklist by my mentors and professors a few years back when I started my research.

A 🧵

@OpenAcademics @ThePhDPlace @AcademicChatter #SciComm #phdchat #AcademicTwitter
Never wondered how to start a research topic, ways to navigate through it, and where and how to begin? Well, this research skills checklist helped and still helps me. I hope this helps if you haven't come across it.
Note: I don't know who made the checklist originally. You can find a one-page checklist on the internet.

Here I have tried my style of presenting them through my slides. Also, I believe, it's a universal checklist so any research student in any field can try it.

Here are some effective ways of note-taking methods for students (technically for anyone).

A 🧶

@OpenAcademics @ThePhDPlace @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #Scicomm #phdchat
Right from my junior college to engineering and currently PhD studies. I tried and still try many methods of note-taking (with zillion notebooks... of course).

Here are 6 methods...

Note: I have used @GoodNotesApp note-taking app for all the samples you see in the thread.
1.Cornell Method: “The most famous one”. I am sure you must have heard of this method and it's great especially when you prepare for exams.
