Seminal Literature

Advanced Literature review: You need to write a literature review for your article related to the research project you chose in your first assignment.(ITC713)

Min requirements You need to read 5 journal articles no older than 3 years and 5 conference articles no older than 3 years. Identify seminal literature and provide evidence that at least 2 of them have been read (primary source reading, not what others say about them). It needs to be a critical review that identifies gaps and directions, i.e., not just x said and y said, but taking a position and critically interacting with the literature to argue in favor of the position taken. Use the title of your research project as the title of your assignment, so that the subject coordinator knows which study you are doing.

Your literature review should:

List and address the questions/hypothesis(s) related to your project

Summarize the ideas you reviewed in the literature in chronological and/or logical order to introduce your project
