2-parts-literature-review

Use ONLY references provided.

This is two parts. on

The construction of the literature review will extend over several modules, and it is a “living document” for your final journal article. This means that you can expand and refine it as you further immerse yourself into the subject of Island Biogeography and, in particular, the four factors you will be examining in your research over the rest of the course.

INSTRUCTIONS

By the time you complete your literature review in Module 4, you should have written approximately 1000 to 1500 words that demonstrate that you:

A. Begin with a clear, precise research question for each experiment you intend to run using the four variables you identified. The research questions will develop organically from the hypotheses that you construct.

B. Have adequately reviewed and examined the history of what’s been written and researched on Island Biogeography.

C.Show how the four parameters you have identified for your research project have been examined by other researchers in Island Biogeography

D. Clearly articulate what work remains to be done on your topic.

In this module, to begin the literature review process and be sure you are on the right track for this important activity, you will submit to the drop box the Part 1 portion, which includes the following:

1. No less than 250 nor more than 500 words of the first section of the Literature Review on Island Biogeography. This is section “A & B” of the four parts listed above.
2. This section will focus on the history of the research in this field.
3. Your work is not to be opinion-based or general in tone, but a presentation of the work of important researchers and how they relate to each other.
4. You will use specific sources and authors to build a succinct, targeted examination of the important aspects of the research in Island Biogeography.
5. Literature reviews follow a very precise formula used to present the research results from the authors.

Part 2.

INSTRUCTIONS

By the time you complete your literature review you should have written an approximately 1000 to 1500 words document that demonstrates that you

A. Have adequately reviewed and examined the foundational research examining what’s been written and researched on Island Biogeography

B. Show how the 4 parameters you have identified for your research project have been examined by other researchers in Island Biogeography

C. Show how the four parameters you have identified for your research project have been examined by other researchers in Island Biogeography

D.Clearly articulate what work remains to be done on your topic.

Clearly articulate what work remains to be done on your topic. In this module you will submit to the drop box the following:

1. No less than 1000 nor more than 1500 words for the Literature Review on Island Biogeography.
2. Your work is not to be opinion based or general in tone, but a presentation of the work of important researchers.
3. You will use specific sources and authors to build a succinct, targeted examination of the important aspects of the research in Island Biogeography.
4. You should not just report the research but analyze with by comparing and contrasting various authors’ work.
5. Literature reviews follow a very precise formula to present the research results from the authors. Carefully read the Literature Reviews section on the for examples and details on how to write this section.
6. Include a title page and a reference page with complete APA style references for all sources. You should have at least eight scientific sources included here.
