 A review of related literature (RRL) is an

“
analysis of someone’s written or spoken
knowledge of the world.

You examine representations of others’

thinking about the world to determine the
connection of your research with what
people already know and written about it.
 In your analysis or reading of recorded

“
knowledge, you just do not catalog ideas in
your research, but also interpret them or
merge your thinking with the author’s ideas.

Hence, in doing the RRL, you deal with both

formal or direct and informal or indirect
expressions of man’s knowledge.

LESSON 6: Process of Selecting Related Literature

PROCESS OF SELECTING RELATED LITERATURE
There are three basic types of literature sources:
general references that will direct you to the location
of other sources; primary sources that directly
report or present a person’s own experiences; and
secondary sources that report or describe other
people’s experiences or worldviews.
PROCESS OF SELECTING RELATED LITERATURE
Secondary sources of knowledge give the most
number of materials such as books, peer-reviewed
articles in journals, published literary reviews of a field,
grey literature or unpublished and non-peer reviewed
materials like theses, dissertations, conference
proceedings, leaflets and posters, research studies in
progress, and other library materials.
PROCESS OF SELECTING RELATED LITERATURE
Websites introducing materials whose quality depends
solely on every individual, social media networks
(Twitter, Facebook, blogs, podcasts, YouTube, videos)
PROCESS OF SELECTING RELATED LITERATURE
You can have an access to these various
sources of data in two methods: manually,
or getting hold of the printed form of the
material, and electronically or having a
computer or online reading of the sources of
knowledge. Having familiarity with the
nature of your library will facilitate your
literature search.
