“Worth the Wait”

Giving the best review of related literature is having a positive mind and hardworking ideas that everyone will have.
The two styles of it are meta – analysis and meta- synthesis of review of related literature. Because review of related
literature, can help us to prove our study have a good information. Also, it is the body of research that can provide
more information about our study. Meta – analysis is used to separate similar experiments or studies in order to test
the pooled data for statistical significance. While, meta- synthesis is the combination of ideas to form a theory or
system.
According to social sciences, synthesis of qualitative research findings is a better descriptor of the process for
qualitative research. So in short, meta – synthesis is used for qualitative research such as determining the
information that we gathered. Also, meta – synthesis is used to distinguish this from quantitative meta – analysis. It
may also be used to integrate the findings from quantitative and qualitative research studies.In connection with this,
meta – analysis is also used in quantitative research to measure the data that has been gathered by the researchers.
Comparing the two styles of review of related literature is quite difficult because they have their own differences and
they also has a purpose to the two types of research. Making a thesis paper is not easy because there are some
struggles that we feel and a lot of challenges while doing research papers. But working it with hard work and exerting
more effort can make our hearts filled with joy and can pay off because we survive doing a hardest work.
It is worth the wait because after all the hard work and sleepless nights, we had still our greatest smiles to defend it.
And to prove that we’ve survived the hardest part of being a student. Maybe we feel challenges in our lives but at the
end of day, we have smile to put in our lips and be proud of ourselves of what we’ve done. And to make the better
version of ourselves because making a research paper is not for everyone. We have to experience the hardest part
before making it to a good reality.
