Literature Reviews | How to find, evaluate and organise scholarship for them

Hey wonderful humans!
Today I'm talking you through how I as a humanities student approach literature reviews, focusing in particular on how to find relevant scholarship/research, how to evaluate its usefulness, and lastly how to start organising it so it's useful for you as a PhD Student!
--------------
My name's Lucy and I'm a humanities student focusing on queer romance novels of the 21st century, so obviously this won't be the same as science people. Also, everything I say is my own opinion! If you have any questions about PhD life or studying at UoB feel free to leave a comment or contact me on social media.

This was quite helpful. Thanks. ❤ I wish you could deep dive into this in another video. Maybe show us some examples?

Can you please make a video on how to take notes on articles we read in a manner that helps remembering them. Thank you

As a fresh Eng Lit candidate, I found it very helpful to be reaffirmed that we don't normally do the LitRev as a separate section since I was asked for doing a systematic lit rev by course leaders and it took me a lot of my time to know I was not wrong to think we rarely do lit revs :( I really hope you do some videos on eng lit phd and challenges specific to lit people :))

Hello! Sorry for taking so long to get back to you! Last few months where very busy and I took a bit of a break from KZbin :) I will definitely be doing more videos on English Lit PhDs in particular, hoping to have something out later this week!
