I recently came across an insightful article by Emmanuel Tsekleves that completely transformed my understanding of what a 𝐏̲𝐡̲𝐃̲ ̲𝐋̲𝐢̲𝐭̲𝐞̲𝐫̲𝐚̲𝐭̲𝐮̲𝐫̲𝐞̲ ̲𝐑̲𝐞̲𝐯̲𝐢̲𝐞̲𝐰̲ ̲truly entails. I have to appreciate his great infographic on the topic and think it will bring value to all those aspring PhDs out there! In my own words, he is pointing out that the literature review is a fundamental part of any PhD thesis. It's not merely about summarizing existing research; it serves multiple critical roles that make it indispensable: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬: It ensures your research is relevant and contributes meaningfully to the academic conversation, guiding you through existing knowledge. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜: By evaluating current literature, it sharpens your arguments and helps your work stand out, adding necessary depth and breadth. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐫: It identifies gaps in existing research, showing where your work can break new ground and make unique contributions. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭: It supports your arguments and helps in designing your research methodology, laying the foundation for your entire project. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞: It provides evidence to back up your claims, ensuring your thesis withstands scrutiny. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫: It ties your research to the larger academic community, establishing the significance of your work and demonstrating why your PhD matters. What do you people think? Anything missing? Or do you agree with me, that this is a truly eye-opening perspective on in-depth literature review - not only for your PhD-thesis?

Finally! after a long wait, our article is here 🎉 This is the first of a series that corresponds to my doctoral thesis, "#DigitalStorytelling as a strategy to prepare students for #21stCenturyLearning."  In collaboration with Jo Tondeur, Sarah Howard, Magdalena Claro and Johan van Braak If you are interested and don't have access, DM me to send you a copy.

How to really get your head around plots in academic papers – deciphering jargon and unknown assumptions to critically analyse others' work. The first in a series of 'PhD Pocket Guide' chapters. Mitch shares some of the skills and strategies, tricks and tactics he learned during the process of his own PhD journey: a helpful head-start for others just beginning that journey.

The frameworks of the introduction chapter of your thesis Stuck on your thesis intro? Frameworks are your friends! They provide the lens you'll use to analyze your research. Think of them as building blocks - the theoretical framework explains existing knowledge, while the conceptual framework outlines your specific approach. Together, they show why your research matters and how it fits into the bigger picture. #KolawoleAzeez #thesislife #researcherproblems
