Your Search Strategy
You must present the reader with a feel for the existing research as well as an understanding of your topic area. Your reader needs to know how broadly you have searched and where strengths or limitations may lie in your work. You need to explain:
- how you searched - using manual or computerised methods
- the types of sources you have used
- where there may be academic limitations such as incomplete access to the literature, lack of international sources etc.
