How to do a literature review (Fast and Effective)

In this video I look at doing a literature review the easiest, quickest, and best way to get a high mark. that is to imitate the work of others. Scholarship is a field where we can draw inspiration from the work already out there. The answers, templates, structure, discussion, analysis and debates, already exist, and to be successful we need to find ways to latch on this. Therefore as students and scholars, we need to think like artists, who are open to mimicking others. All a literature needs to be, to get a high mark, and make it easy, is a reformulation of other literature reviews that academic have already written, at the start of their articles. Follow this advice in the video, and doing the literature review will feel so much easy, and you will be on the path to getting a high mark for your work. Enjoy :-) xx

I happened upon your video because I read your comment on another video about literature review writing. I have 6 weeks to have a 10 page undergrad research project (with poster!) done, and 2 weeks to submit my draft (abstract with outline.) What's intense for me is that I've never done any of this (research, nevertheless a paper) before. And I'm new to the topic as well. Worse yet, it's an honors program. So I feel (despite my 3.8) like a massive imposter right now.

Point of this comment:
1) Your video was 10x more helpful than the past 10 hours of videos I've watched on how to do this. So THANK YOU!
2) I forgot all about the Steal Like an Artist book and now I'm going to make sure to read that.
1 Criticism:
Your video Title, Description doesn't bring this up in top results when searching "How to do a literature review." (fast) I would suggest adding that exact sentence to the end or working it into your SEO. Only because students need to watch this. I have bookmarked it to share it with my friends tomorrow.
2 Inquiries:
Will you consider making MORE videos on this topic? I think it fills a massive niche.
Can you suggest any other videos already done on this topic (or books, resources, etc.) because my teachers are really busy and also just assume this should all be easy and make sense.

I'm really glad I stumbled upon this video. I'm currently at this aspect of my dissertation, and this video conducted by Professor Egan has relieved me of so much burden and has made my life much easier. Especially what is required of me in doing this literature review? I just want to thank you so much for making this video and sharing it with us; it is much appreciated.🙏

This would be fantastic, except when the topic is severely under-researched, and citations need to be peer reviewed and within the last 10 years. Next to nothing out there.
