Question
Answered

A checklist for analysing the literature and for helping to determine your
own research approach has been suggested by Collis & Hussey (2003), as
follows:
• What was the purpose of the previous study and how does it
differ from other studies I have encountered and my own
research ideas?
• How was the previous research conducted and how does it differ
from other studies and my own proposed research?
• What were the findings and how do they differ from other
studies, and what I expect to find?
• What were the limitations and weaknesses of these previous
studies?
