What is Review of Related Literature and Studies (RRL)?00:00:45

The video starts by defining RRL as a comprehensive analysis and presentation of existing literature and studies related to the current research, thesis, or dissertation. It emphasizes that RRL is typically found in Chapter 2 of a research paper.

Purpose of RRL00:01:07

The primary purpose of RRL is to gain a better and in-depth understanding of the study focus, examine prior claims and findings, and gain insights from previous studies. This helps to appreciate the topic and build foundational knowledge.

Characteristics of RRL00:04:54

Key characteristics of a good RRL include being current (usually within the last 10 years), sufficient in terms of the number of sources, and relevant to the research topic. It requires significant investment of time, effort, and energy to gather and analyze the necessary information.

Possible Sources for RRL00:08:38

The video outlines various sources for RRL, including books, professional journal articles, newspapers, magazines, letters, interviews, poems, biographies, peer-reviewed research journals, unpublished theses and dissertations, and government reports.

Steps to Writing RRL00:10:30

The process of writing RRL involves several steps: deciding on the themes related to the problem, reading and evaluating literature and studies for inclusion, writing topic sentences, and organizing and paraphrasing the literature. Plagiarism is strictly discouraged.

Using Transition Words and Reviewing Content00:13:19

It's crucial to use transition words to create cohesive paragraphs and show relationships between ideas, rather than just listing sentences. After writing, rechecking the content and making adjustments as necessary is highly recommended to ensure quality.

Example of a Good RRL Paragraph00:15:25
