What is a literature review Summarizes related studies and tries to makes sense of the pattern of findings. It draws conclusions about what is known, what is not, and what should be. (adapted from SFU Library website)

Example literature review Denton, E. (2009). International News Coverage of Human Trafficking Arrests and Prosecutions: a Content Analysis (Master’s Thesis). Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC. Retrieved from http://summit.sfu.ca/item/9561 From Erin Denton’s Literature Review (20 pages)  In 1904, the first modern response to the new slave trade, the International Agreement for the Suppression of the White Slave Traffic, was created (Friman & Reich, 2007). …   … the current, relatively accepted definition of trafficking describes a wide range of activities (Bruckert & Parent, 2002; O’Connell, Davidson & Donelan in Laczko & Gramegna, 2003). The trafficking of humans is not one single activity…. While Andrees (2005) considers the use of media and secondary sources a cause for concern, others (e.g., Dottridge, 2002), see the use of media as a means to gain access to a field of study that is notoriously difficult to infiltrate…. Rather than separating the forced prostitution and sexual exploitation literature from human trafficking, much of the literature muddles the two together…. History Definitions Issues Gaps

Background sources: Encyclopedias Overview of your topic / the “big picture” Written with the academic in mind, often by specialists in the field Use the bibliography to identify key articles, studies, authors, etc. Encyclopedias and handbooks: Gale Virtual Reference Library Oxford Reference Online SAGE Reference

Research methodology info Sage Research Methods Online Start with discipline-specific encyclopedia entries for good overview of specific methodology Once you do a search, narrow by discipline Check out Further Readings section in the articles for key readings and resources

Popular magazine articles Scholarly journal articles Scholarly vs popular Popular magazine articles Example: The Atlantic Scholarly journal articles Example: Criminal Justice and Behavior: An International Journal Audience: general public Colourful graphics & advertisements Plain language No abstracts or citations Audience: academics Mostly text, with some tables & charts Subject-specific language Includes abstracts & citations Key criterion: peer-reviewed

Finding online articles Catalogue Search Broad/preliminary searches Searches many (but not all) databases Article databases More targeted & in-depth searches Subject-specific or multidisciplinary

RECOMMENDED DATABASES Criminology databases: Criminal Justice Abstracts: academic articles, magazines, dissertations, reports, books … National Criminal Justice Reference Service: academic articles, government reports, research reports, books Other discipline-based databases PsycINFO: academic articles, books, dissertations … Sociological Abstracts: academic articles, books, dissertations, association reports … General databases: Academic Search Complete: academic articles Web of Science: academic articles

Search tips Use AND between keywords to narrow your search For example: hooliganism AND alcohol Use OR between keywords to broaden your search For example: soccer OR sports Use quotation marks around an exact phrase For example: “art therapy” Use an asterisk (*) to find related terms For example: Canad* will get results for: Canada, Canadian, Canadians …

Working with your topic Focusing your topic Developing keywords Example topic: Art therapy and recidivism Ask yourself: Who? Women, youth, Indigenous people … What? Visual art, music, dance … When? Historical or contemporary? Where? BC, Canada, North America, international … Why? Effects, context … Revised topic: Impact of art therapy on recidivism in young offenders. Art therapy Recidivism Young offenders Therapy Counselling Music therapy Dance therapy Repeat offender Juvenile delinquents Early adolescent offenders Criminals
