Exploring the Literature Search and Practice Writing a Problem Statement
This week, you will discover the differences between peer-reviewed articles, peer-reviewed journal, and primary sources versus secondary sources. You will discover how to find peer-reviewed journals also. The reason to understand this is because your literature review must be based on reliable sources so your dissertation is scholarly and academically reliable.
As most scholars would agree, a primary source is a first discover account or evidence of a topic. For example, if you were researching philosophy you would want to go all the way back to Socrates and get his view as a ‘primary source’. Another example would be the creator of a theory would be the primary source. This is the author or inventor’s original research. It can include research on any number of things. When looking at a topic in an article, go to the references listed and follow the listings to determine that you have found the original author. Otherwise, you may be using secondary sources.
A secondary source is one or more steps from the primary source. This writing can be a number of things such as an article being written that cites the primary source; however, the new author has added another view. Secondary sources can be many things, such as books, models, articles, and much more in the world of literature and writing. The main difference is the secondary source is not the first to discover or write the idea.
Peer-reviewed sources are required at NCU in your dissertation. You will also be required to stay within 85 percent of your literature to be current. This means within five years of your dissertation completion. Remember to keep watch for this as you progress through your dissertation and update any old sources. In the NCU Library, you will find and practice the process of narrowing down to ‘peer-reviewed’ articles. This information typically comes from a journal that has subject matter experts in the field of study and has agreed to the authenticity of the article before being published in the journal.
