Literature Search strategy for women Ph.D. scholars currently working as associate / assistant professors in India

Conduct a rapid umbrella literature search for scoping and topic selection

1. Keyword or the research area is the academic field / domain / discipline which will be driven by the data set you have chosen and should be of your interest or past training or current practice
2. Literature titles when grouped or categorized into different buckets will give you research topics or the research sub-area or research theme or subjects of research which you can pursue
3. Objectives of the literature when grouped or categorized into different buckets will give you various concepts / ideas / theories / ideological basis of that research and that you can pursue within your final topic
4. Questions asked within the literature when grouped or categorized into different buckets will give you various approaches / methods / arguments used in that research that are plausible for your own research objectives
5. Hypotheses put forward within the literature when grouped or categorized into different buckets will give you the evidence / proof that can be applied to answer the relevant research question and attain the specific research objective within your final topic
6. Geographic focus of the literature will give you the problems that are affecting that geography and to see if it can fit your chosen data set
7. Publication ages of literature when grouped with keyword, titles, objectives, questions and geography will give you the direction in which current research is progressing and this should also be analysed within each geography or at-least your intended targeted geography
8. Number of citations of the literature coupled with geography and publication ages will give you the relevance and age of the problem and if that problem exists within your chosen data set
9. Literature category is also an important device to know what research is current, new and old and therefore, where your final topic should be

Literature category

1. Review articles that are published in journals by professional practising researchers correspond to state of the art research in a field and can be considered current research
2. PhD Theses that are published by novice researchers usually specific to a geography is usually in-between new and current research
3. Research articles that are published in journals by professional practising researchers correspond to new contributions to subject and can be considered new research
4. Published text books and chapters by academics and professional practising researchers is scientifically proven theory and can be considered old research
