EDUDEMIC

To evaluate whether the literature we have taken is a good source or a relevant source for our research.

Is It a Good, Accurate Source?

Some guidelines are helpful to make a careful selection of the literature.

Rely as much as possible on journal articles published in national journals. Typically, a panel of editors (two or three editorial board members plus a general editor) reviews and critically evaluates a manuscript before it is accepted for publication. If the journal lists reviewers or editorial board members from around the country, consider it to be high quality because it is a refereed, national journal. ( Example : National journal of system and information technology )
Use a priority system for searching the literature. Start with refereed journal articles; then proceed to non refereed journal articles; then books; then conference papers, dissertations, and theses; and finally non reviwed articles posted to Web sites. Material obtained from Web sites not in national. Use articles reported in national online journals that have undergone a review through editorial boards. Information about the journals and their review process can be obtained online.

From the above mentioned guideline we have to concluded that the refereed journal articles can be used as a powerful source or a good source for Conducting a literature review.

Is It Relevant?

Whether a source is high quality and worthy of inclusion in a literature review is one consideration. An entirely separate question is whether the literature is relevant to use. Read the literature you have selected, noting the titles of articles, the contents of abstracts at the beginning of the material (if they are present), and major headings in the study. This review helps determine if the information is relevant to use in a review. Relevance has several dimensions .A literature must give importance to the Topic , Individual, Accessibility and problems and the questions. If a Literature give importance to these areas it can be used as a relevant source.
