Hey Rajesh,identify your research question before searching for the sources. Quickly define your topic, identify the type of literature you are looking, develop keywords, think about scope of topic / search restrictions.

By Rajshree Tamang Answered 6 years ago

I completely agree with Sonali. Before searching for literature sources it is must to identify the research questions and themes you want to study under your current research. After identifying the research question, you can follow systematic, retrospective/ citation approach to search the sources.

By Vishwanath Panwar Answered 6 years ago

To review the sources, identify & evaluate the previous research and discover new research opportunities, define a research question, reveal the areas of interest and which areas have been investigated and which is yet to be investigated, compare the data, methodologies, examine the gaps that exists between the two theories and develop the hypotheses.
