Review of Literature – If an idea cannot be substantiated by the community of scholars, the literature review makes clear that the author is speculating, and the logic of the speculation is detailed. – Irrelevant information is not discussed. – The literature review has its own voice. The sources of information are not extensively quoted or “copied and pasted.” Instead, the author puts facts and ideas into his or her own words while pointing out where the information came from. Think about how you tell family members about the exciting things you learned in classes…or think about how you discuss sociology at cocktail parties. You make claims in you own words…you don’t quote word for word or cut and paste what you learned. #################### File: aabResearch_Papers.ppt Page: 29 Context: g Report 5.

Review of Literature – Note that if you want to explain why social events occur as they do, you will use (and test) explanations that have worked before. THESE EXPLANATIONS ARE CALLED THEORIES. • Most academic literature reviews have a guiding theory that is used to: – Frame (or help us understand) facts in the literature. – Establish expectations (or hypotheses) for the research. – Justify speculation when no evidence to justify an idea exists in the literature. • Sometimes the whole point of a research project is to: – Determine whether a theory works – Pit two or more theories against each other to see which works better #################### File: aabResearch_Papers.ppt Page: 18 Context: Writing a Research Report A research report has seven components: 3.

Without the “paper trail” of academic thought: • People could pass incorrect ideas off as facts • We would have to keep “re-proving” things. • The contexts that generated facts and ideas get lost. • Research becomes highly inefficient as it becomes incredibly difficult to find “full information” on a topic. #################### File: aabResearch_Papers.ppt Page: 32 Context: Writing a Research Report • A research report has seven components: 7. References The references are just as important as any other part of your paper. They are the link to the community of scholars that will permit your reader to assess the worthiness of the claims you make in your paper. References also make the research process much more efficient because they make it very easy to look up sources of facts and ideas. #################### File: aabResearch_Papers.ppt Page: 16 Context: Writing a Research Report • A research report has seven components: 3. Review of Literature – Literature reviews have parenthetical citations running throughout. These are part of a systematic way to document where facts and ideas came from, allowing the skeptical reader to look up anything that is questionable. Remember as a kid: “My Momma said…?” Parenthetical citation is our way of substantiating claims we made in our own words, without breaking our flow. – Each citation directs the reader to the references where complete details on sources can be found. – Citations consist of authors’ last names and the year of publication. One finds complete information on sources by looking up last names and dates in alphabetized references—so there’s no need to put all that information in the text. #################### File: aabResearch_Papers.ppt Page: 21 Context: Writing a Research Report A research report has seven components: 3.

Review of Literature The literature review tells the reader what other researchers have discovered about the paper’s topic or tells the reader about other research that is relevant to the topic. – A literature review should shape the way readers think about a topic—it educates readers about what the community of scholars says about a topic and its surrounding issues. – Often what students call a “research paper” is merely a review of literature. – Along the way it states facts and ideas about the social world and supports those facts and ideas with credit for where they came from. #################### File: aabResearch_Papers.ppt Page: 43 Context: Writing a Research Report Finally…Avoiding Plagiarism – To avoid plagiarism: 1. Document every source for information that is not “general knowledge”—this includes facts and ideas. 2. Cite every time a fact or idea is used unless it is clear that one citation is referring to a group of facts or ideas. 3. If you quote material, put quotation marks around the quoted stuff and include a page number within the citation. 4. It is alright to paraphrase material, but you still have to cite from where the paraphrased material came. 5. When in doubt, cite the source. Improper citing is grounds for failure on the course paper. #################### File: aabResearch_Papers.ppt Page: 1 Context: Writing a Research Writing a Research Report Report If research was not “written If research was not “written up,” did it really occur? up,” did it really occur? #################### File: aabResearch_Papers.ppt Page: 26 Context: Writing a Research Report • A research report has seven components: 5.

Make accurate sociological claims in your paper. Stake out positions—a kind of, “I think I have the answer to this issue,” position. 2. Cite facts to support your sociological claims. 3. If you can, use theories to support your sociological claims. 4. Every declaration or “fact claim” must be cited or overtly posed as speculation. #################### File: aabResearch_Papers.ppt Page: 41 Context: Writing a Research Report Finally…Avoiding Plagiarism • What is it? – Among other things, plagiarism refers to taking others’ work and representing it as if it were your own. – In academics this is bad because with plagiarism: • One cannot assess students’ development accurately • The person who makes his or her livelihood by scholarly pursuit is being robbed of credit • It masks the lineage of ideas and facts. “Plagiarism is to academics as Enron- accounting is to corporate America.” #################### File: aabResearch_Papers.ppt Page: 39 Context: Writing a Research Report Finally…Avoiding Plagiarism • What is it? – All knowledge in your head has either been copied from some place or originally discovered by you. – Most knowledge was copied. – This is true in most settings.
