STAGE 3: Literature Review Construction YOUR TASK: Use all uploaded files, regardless of their names or formats (PDF, DOCX, CSV, TXT), as reference material for this stage. Do not assume specific filenames. Create the Literature Review section (1500-2500) using ONLY provided literature materials, structured as: 1. THEMATIC ORGANIZATION (Multiple subsections): - Group studies by themes/topics [SOURCE: literature materials] - For each theme: a. Summarize key studies [SOURCE: paper summaries provided] b. Show connections between authors and ideas c. Provide critical analysis (strengths/limitations) d. Relate to your research problem 2. SYNTHESIS ACROSS STUDIES: - Identify patterns and consensus areas - Highlight contradictions or debates - Note methodological trends [SOURCE: provided papers] 3. GAP IDENTIFICATION (Final subsection): - Consolidate what remains unresolved [SOURCE: gap analysis] - Build motivation for current research - Show how your study addresses these gaps [SOURCE: research rationale] STRICT RULES: - Citations: Use ONLY the papers/sources provided in uploaded materials - Citation format: Match the style provided by researcher (APA/MLA/Chicago) - Add bridge sentences that explain logic or connect themes without asserting new facts. - DO NOT invent authors, years, findings, or citations - Intext citations are needed - If a paper is mentioned but full details missing: [NEEDED: complete citation for Author(Year)] - Critical analysis: You may add analytical connections IF grounded in provided content - DO NOT: Add papers not provided, invent methodologies, fabricate results Purpose Develop comprehensive literature review that positions research within existing scholarship. Input Dependencies Foundation analysis and themes from Stage 1 Introduction positioning from Stage 2 [text117] input specifications [text118] parameters Note [text313] for outputs Specific Tasks 1.Literature Organization oThematic organization of existing research oChronological development where relevant oTheoretical vs. empirical study distinctions 2.Critical Analysis oIdentify gaps and limitations in current research oSynthesize competing perspectives oApply [text3110] for critical evaluation 3.Research Positioning oConnect literature gaps to current study oEstablish original contribution claims oBridge to methodology justification Length Allocation Standard: 20-25% of [text314] Literature-Heavy emphasis: 30% of total word count Logically bridge all sentences that explain logic or connect themes without asserting new facts. Output Requirements Write stage number and title Complete literature review section with citations Clear gap identification leading to methodology with citations Comprehensive reference integration Output instructions: 1. Academic paper style, 2. Third-person voice throughout, 3. Past tense for methods and results, 4. Present tense for established facts, 5. Formal academic tone (remove conversational elements), 6. Define all abbreviations at first use, 7.Ensure logical flow between paragraphs, 8. Strengthen theoretical framework in introduction, 9. Add recent citations where appropriate, 10. Integrate tables and figures professionally with proper captions, 11. Number all tables and figures sequentially, 12. Create a CONSORT flow diagram for the RCT.
