How to Write a Literature Review Essay Like a PhD Student

[@micheleainsworth1709]

I recently was conferred with an MA in English the day before my 60th birthday. You videos have really provided inspiration for me to sit down and write. I’m now working on a proposal for a Call for Papers on Jane Austen. Thank you for this video as it will aid me in my research during the next few weeks.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Omg whats your proposal topic??

As a recent PhD graduate (Caribbean and LatinAm history) and a current postdoctoral fellow, I really enjoy watching your videos! Not only do I think you give important advice to graduate students (both at the masters and PhD levels), on a more personal note, it is fun to revisit my own journey as an emerging scholar through your own!

i always dreaded literature reviews, primarily because i wasnt passionate and taught HOW to do them correctly. it was more a bureacratic procedure in new courses. this helps tremendously. the way you approach academic writing has helped shape and inspire my own interests beyond my academic degrees. i do alot of non fiction reading, and with how you have taught me to critically analyze texts, its made me want to research more indepth. this video will blow up and become a holy grail for many many students, guaranteed. im so excited for you to hit 100k, and grow more in your content creation.

This comment just made my day!!! That makes me so happy

I absolutely love your videos and as a 1st year PhD Candidate with no research background, this video is exactly what I needed! The way that you explain and approach writing a Literature Review is so easy to understand and has given me inspiration and motivation towards mine! THANK YOU!! :)

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Yay! I am so glad it was helpful!

[@PaDutchGalz]

Again, such useful information. I wish I had entered grad school with this information. I have another year and will put this to great use. Now I feel confident how I can pull my Literature Review together. THANK YOU!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

🥺 I am so glad it was helpful!

[@reneerowling5130]

I love watching your videos, particularly for how different research is between the humanities and STEM subjects!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Yes! I love watching all of the different disciplines and their approach!

[@cherylzhang3071]

Really enjoyed watching your video, especially when I am a first year PhD student. Many thanks!

Great information! I wasn't taught how to read for a literature review, only to just read for the review. Didn't take long to get overwhelmed. A few searches online helped me learn a better process.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

So glad you found a way of reading which is less overwhelming

[@cathypayne4200]

You have no idea how timely this is! 😅 Thank you so much!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

You're so welcome!

[@hey_jenn]

I'm just starting working on my literature review. This is really helpful and insightful, it is good to see how to incorporate AI in our research journey as well. Thank you!

I am so glad it was helpful!

I have just finished my MA in history on Trust and Faith in African Midwives in Southern America 1808-1965. My first chapter focused on slave-midwives and emancipated midwives in the nineteenth century. Start my PhD next year on Birth Control and Abortion in African American women 1920-1945. We do a historiography in our theses. When I did my MSc we called it a literature review.

What programs do you use to write with your ipad and apple pen? I'm starting my first semester of grad school in January, and I really want to learn how to utilize it

[@KaelynGraceApple]

GoodNotes! I have all the apps I use in my PhD student workflow video

[@jademorgan5054]
