The Application of Data Gathering Procedures, Proper Literature Review and Annotated Bibliography

Application of Data Gathering Procedures 



A systematic process of gathering observations or measurements is known as data collection. Data collection allows you to gain first-hand knowledge and original insights into your research problem, whether you are conducting research for business, government, or academic purposes. Data gathering is one of the most essential part of research. During this stage, collecting necessary information to answer all the statement of the problems is done. Before you begin collecting data, you should consider the following: the purpose of the research, the type of data that will be collected, and the methods and procedures that will be used to collect, store, and process the data.





Proper Literature Review

A review of the literature is a survey of scholarly sources that provides an overview of a specific topic. A literature review is a compilation of the most relevant and significant publications on a given topic in order to provide a comprehensive overview of what has been said and by whom. A literature review includes the following basic components: a description of the publication; a summary of the publication's main points; a discussion of research gaps; and an evaluation of the publication's contribution to the topic. A literature review's goal is to gain an understanding of the existing research and debates relevant to a specific topic or area of study, and to present that knowledge in the form of a written report. Conducting a literature review will assist you in expanding your knowledge in your field.

        Annotated Bibliography

An annotated bibliography, also known as an annotated bib, is a bibliography (a list of books or other works) that includes descriptive and evaluative comments about the sources cited in your paper. An annotated bibliography entry consists of two components: the Citation and the Annotation.

Citation

The citation should be formatted in the bibliographic style specified by your professor for the assignment. Citation styles that are commonly used include APA, MLA, and Chicago.

Annotation

Generally, an annotation is approximately 100-300 words in length (one paragraph). An annotation may include the following information: a brief summary of the source, the source's strengths and weaknesses, its conclusions, why the source is relevant in your field of study, its relationships to other studies in the field, an evaluation of the research methodology (if applicable), background information about the author, and your personal conclusions about the source.
