PRELIMINARY DISSERTATION REFERENCES ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
According to Paré and Kitisiou (2017), because research is a continuing effort, which builds upon previous work, being able to collect, review, and synthesize existing findings is critical for any study. Building a library of sources is one of the first steps in creating that synthesis.
This assignment leads you to develop a library of sources for your dissertation study, primarily the literature review. Although this list of sources will not be the final total, it is a good start to
the foundation needed to synthesize the findings of current research.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
