Students will use google scholar to collect 100 articles as Part 1 of the Literature Review Build
The literature review build will be the first step in creating your comprehensive literature review. Using Scholar.Google.com, you will collect 100 journal articles using systematic random sampling. Those 100 abstracts will be incorporated into the following chart (attachment). In order to do so, you will enter your topic in google scholar, and find an article with a hit count (the number under the article in blue) of 100 and over. That article will become the first article and will enter it in APA format into the chart. Then click on the hit count. Using the randomizer starting at the first article and select every x articles. If the selection you come to is a book or not a scholarly journal article, it will skip and the next x article will be included. The search steps will be repeated until 100 journal articles populate the chart.

From the 100 abstracts that you sampled, pick the 15 abstracts with the highest article hit counts (“cited by”). Ideally, you are looking for articles with hit counts over 100, meaning that more than 100 other authors read & cited their work. (In other words, these are more influential articles.) For those 15 high-hit-count articles, download the complete article and upload it. Fill-out the chart using the 15 selected articles.
