8. Thesis Structure Consider these as “logical chapters”, that is to say they might represent a number of physical chapters or a single section For example, “Chapter 2”, the Literature Review chapter might consist of a chapter on Knowledge Management, a separate chapter on Knowledge Elicitation Or for example, “Chapter 5”, the Evaluation Chapter might just exist as a section in the Conclusions and Future Work chapter.

10. Mirroring of Chapters Chapter 1. Introduction Chapter 2. Literature Review Chapter 3. Design Chapter 4. Development Chapter 5. Evaluation Chapter 6. Conclusions and Future Work

11. Mirroring of Chapters All of the main points raised in the Introduction chapter should be addressed in the Conclusions chapter. All of the main sections in the Research Method (or Design) chapter should appear in the Data Analysis (or Experiment) chapter. All of the main sections in the Literature Review chapter should be re-discussed in the Data Findings (or Reflections) chapter.

12. Introduction to Literature

13. Introduction Finding out what is happening in your area of research is a vital step along your journey to discovery, to find and understand how leading researchers in your field have tackled similar problems and the results they obtained, shortcomings they observed and methodologies they employed are the goals of the literature review process.

14. Introduction Additionally the literature reviews serves other purposes;  It shares the reader with other studies closely related to your work  It relates your work to the larger, ongoing dialogue in the literature  It shows how your study is filling in gaps and extending prior studies.  It provides a framework for establishing the importance of your study  It provides a benchmark for comparing the results of your study with other findings

15. Introduction...in other words...

16. Introduction...the literature review...

17. Introduction...is really, really important.

18. 2D Analysis The objective of this process is to systematically analyse the existing research and classify it in one of two dimensions.  The breadth of the review is concerned with ‘setting the scene’, in terms of describing the foundational research in this particular domain, there will be research mentioned from each of the areas you have included in your spider diagram.  The depth of the research concerns itself with the particular topic work that your research will be built upon. There should be approximately the same number of research papers covered in the depth and breath of the research review.
