This preliminary step is critical for writing a comprehensive and effective literature review. While there are many different methods of note-taking, the following suggestions will help you record information that is important and will guide you while you write your literature review.<\/p><h3>What Information Do I Record?<\/h3><p>The first step to note-taking is determining what information you should be recording. To do this, you need to identify the kind of information that will help you with your literature review by revisiting your review\u2019s purpose and method. To help you decide what to record, try keeping the following questions in mind while you read:<\/p><ol><li><ol><li><ol class=\"customlist-cs\"><li>Brainstorm questions that you want to answer: What do we know about X? How has X been measured? Why is X significant? What do we\u00a0<em>not<\/em>\u00a0know about X? What do we want to know about X?<\/li><li>For any relationships, draw a diagram to show the process or how findings relate to one another and other sources.<\/li><li>What is the most important conclusion presented in the source?<\/li><li>Is the source\u2019s language or phrasing of a specific point significant enough to quote directly?<\/li><li>Does the information target your purpose, answer your research question, or contradict your thesis?<\/li><li>Are there any significant limitations?<\/li><li>Are the specific details you are recording pertinent to your research question?<\/li><li>Is the author presenting new material, techniques, methods, findings, or interpretations?<\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol><h3>How Do I Record\u00a0the\u00a0Information?<\/h3><p>Learning styles vary, so it is important to find a strategy that suits your learning needs. Some people highlight and then summarize, others underline and later transfer information into their Review Matrix, while some write notes in margins or directly in their Review Matrix. Consistent among effective note-takers is their high level of engagement. This is not an exhaustive list, but the following strategies may help you record the information you have decided to include in your literature review.<\/p><ul><li><ul><li><ul class=\"fa-ul\"><li><strong>Write summaries or paraphrases after reading<\/strong>, but while not looking at the original source.<\/li><li><strong>Use headings<\/strong>\u00a0to organize similar notes.<\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t spend too much time<\/strong>\u00a0highlighting or underlining.<\/li><li><strong>Record bibliographic information<\/strong>\u00a0with corresponding notes so you remember where you got them from (author, year, page numbers).<\/li><li><strong>Take notes on cue cards<\/strong>\u00a0that can be arranged and rearranged.<\/li><li><strong>Place direct quotations<\/strong>\u00a0into quotation marks and record the page number.<\/li><li><strong>Have a conversation<\/strong>\u00a0with the text in the source\u2019s margins.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"col-md-6\"><h3>Key Takeaways<\/h3><ul><li><ul><li><ul class=\"fa-ul\"><li>Use reading and note-taking strategies that complement your literature review\u2019s purpose.<\/li><li>Use the Review Matrix to help you synthesize, analyze, evaluate, and summarize your sources.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/div><h6>All resources adapted from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/writeonline.ca\/\">WriteOnline.ca<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-275\" src=\"https:\/\/cdmonline.ie\/multidev2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/creativecommons-attribution4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"163\" height=\"26\" \/><\/a><\/h6><p>[maybe add\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hypothes.is\/\">https:\/\/hypothes.is\/<\/a>\u00a0tool for effective note making]<\/p><h3>\u00a0<strong>Blog<\/strong><\/h3><p>When you have completed this week reading work write up a blog post with your thoughts about what you have worked on.
