Hi, I am currently doing a history dissertation and the way a literature review has been explained to me by my supervisor is that it is an ongoing conversation and you are coming into this conversation, noting what other people are saying (in my case it is historians, feminists, traditionalists etc) and then agreeing or countering their arguments with new historical evidence. Its called historiography in history, im not sure if looking into that might help structure your business diss x

[@sophiabroom]

From doing literature reviews for history I have found that compiling a number of articles that cover similar themes has been helpful for me then expanding some analysis on one that is representative of a lot of the literature if that makes sense. Using footnotes with a 'few more see' helps keep the literature varied without having to just list articles too quickly to the point that it becomes redundant

[@lydiavioleta_]

thank you very much for the advice! x

[@MaleneJorgensen]

I did my bachelor thesis back in 2020 (in Denmark). It was about consumer behaviour on the Danish bed market and I used Theory of Planned Behaviour as the overall theoretical framework as it is a grand theory in the area of behaviour. I also used so much time reading litterature and also changed my subject multiple times. It is a hard process, but it will all turn out fine! I was also confused on how to decide on theory and what to include and not, but as my supervisor told me it was "only" a bachelor project, and I was not expected to research on everything as it would be impossible in such a limited period of time (3-4 months). Sometimes you have to decide on something and just go with it. Good luck! :)

[@lydiavioleta_]

that's so true, thank you!! x

[@asakiito765]

omg i love your makeup😳😳✨

[@bethaneydunne9682]

I love your Vidoes Lydia keep them coming ❤️👍😊😊😊

[@rondoflicflac]

Good luck on your dissertation!

[@chezzie1906]

You totally got this in the bag. I did my dissertation in 2019 and it was about family relationships in children’s literature. My advice is plan each chapter with what you want to say with the reading in each. Then write. Good luck ❤️❤️

[@hafsahahmed5165]

Loved this! Your videos are always amazing x

[@lydiavioleta_]

thank you!! x

[@gemcockrell]

So comforting to watch someone who has such a healthy balance in life ❤

[@lydiavioleta_]

I'm so glad!! x

[@daryanesterova7834]

Lydia, thank you for motivation, your videos are always so true and inspirational ❤️ Btw what apps do you use for your study on the iPad? Maybe you could do “what’s on my iPad” video?

[@GamerGirll36]

Love the new intro song you’ve got going on!! And omg the productive uni diaries has a great ring to it and it’s honestly one of the best parts of my weekend, I’ve got exams next week so this is so motivational but also relaxing and reassuring, thank you as always Lydia 🫶🏻❤️

[@lydiavioleta_]

thank you so much for the lovely feedback! x

[@elisevanderwiel]

So a general tip would be to check the thesis repository of your uni and see what others have done (preferably dissertations that have been supervised by your supervisor).

[@ishitaarora281]

It's a good idea to also number the videos like productive diaries vlogs 1, 2, and so on... anyway lovely video as always. love xx

[@tanyadaly]

Really enjoyed watching. Have a lovely weekend xx

[@lydiavioleta_]

thank you! you too! x

[@MusicalTveit]

Ons thing that helped me with my lit review was to look at the authors cited in an article that i liked/was a good starting point for my topic and see if there are any article titles that may help. If there are certain authors that are mentioned a lot in the bibliography you can try and find out if they also write on your topic and then see who they cite or what they recommend to research next

[@lydiavioleta_]

thank you for the advice!! x

[@urte6701]

Early! I love your videos so much!

[@_daissh_]

hiii! ❤️

[@sashabrian7841]

Hey, I’m leeds based. Love your nails - where do you get them done? X

[@lottehoogeveen9015]

I was wondering where you're black legging is from because I'm looking for a black legging to wear as my daily outfit as well :)

[@princiamarierose559]

Where are the pillows from the throw ones ?

[@user-kr2os4lx1o]

[@elishamalow3599]

What headphones do you use please 🙏

[@jaygorakht5135]

Adorable you love from nepal✌️🙏😍

[@amiraabid9399]

I'm in my first year and I've found that I take my time studying and I take much longer than I should to complete a task. I'm also finding that I don't have time for myself at all. Any tips? 😪

[@Alexal76544]

Hiya! I say study at your own pace for now, while you’re new to uni just learn how everything works. I always make sure I’m not working while I’m eating, means I have some me time and I can actually enjoy my food 😂

[@sanaraja378]

Hey Lydia, which headphones do you have?

[@lydiavioleta_]

sony wh-1000xm4, they're linked in the description x

[@shannonwilson4900]

Look into doing a PRISMA search for your literature review

[@Zeynep-sx4wv]

Hi!! When is your graduation Lydia?

[@lydiavioleta_]

July :)

[@Zeynep-sx4wv]

@@lydiavioleta_ amazing. 👏 😍

[@katiegreenwood3737]

I think the word productive is fine but unnecessary! Since it is your last year I think it is evident that you are trying to be as productive as possible. Lovely nonetheless!
