Managing your sources is a major task in writing a literature review. You will search through hundreds of sources to complete the full literature review during
the dissertation. It is a good idea to begin saving your articles now and to return to any applicable articles you found during classes, and then add them to the
system you create this week for managing your articles or the library you create this week.
You will explore different software programs that guide you in developing a system that works best for you. It is important to find a system early and add all
articles to this as you may need to add articles that you did not add; this will be applicable later on in chapter 2. You will want to avoid having to backtrack
through a site for an article that went missing. This is lost time and very frustrating, and it may cause you to delete content from your chapter if the article is
not ever found.
Remember, even if you paraphrase information this must be referenced and credit given to the source. The research found on the web must also be sourced
by adding the web address. Your work will go through Turnitin for plagiarism and originality. Be sure you document all the content you find through research.
Additionally, charts, diagrams, pictures, etc. must all be cited with the source. In a literature review, you are not allowed to cite yourself. A few tools to check
out are RefWorks, EndNote, Mendeley, and Zotero. Be sure the version you choose is free.
