Hi PhD Students,
I m currently wrinting my Master Thesis in Economics (a Literature Review).
I have a big problem because I cannot distinguish the relevant literature for my topic.
I have found so many papers and I get lost which one I should use.
Does anyone know a search system that can help me finding just the relevant papers?
Any other tips to prevent me of priting 1000 published articles without relevance?
Thanks a lot!!!
You may want to re-examine what the purpose of a literature review is (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=purpose+of+a+literature+review&meta= ) - it is not about summarising anything and everything that has been written in your field but about drawing out themes and points from the literature and also explaining where you stand with regards to the literature.
