Day Twelve

Today I started "stream-lining" my lit review. As it was I had lots of chunks of academic documents in a word document. This is not going to be all that useful when it comes to the write up. Ricky Dunn suggested I used his template which looks like it will be very useful. It's a nice formal way of structuring the research and has got me thinking about document comparisons etc. The template looks like this:

Source Title
Source Topic
Author info (Discipline / Credentials)
Research Question(s)
Methodology
Result(s)
Relation to topic
Strength(s) / Weakness
Potential bias
Contextual Grounding (Location, Date etc.)
References

As well as this review of further academic documents continued. I feel I'm a bit behind on this, however I have been making progress with the implementation of the system, so it is fairly justified. However 100% focus will be needed on this until the end of the week as I have covered no where near enough academic documents.
