Working title *

What kind of research questions do you want to be answered by conducting this literature review? What are you specifically looking for in the data? *

Do you want to understand how a phenomena is conceptualised across the literature? *

Are you testing an assumption or hypothesis?

Do you want to use pre-defined coding schemes (deductive analyses) for coding literature, and why? Is your research area more suitable for an inductive and open coding approach, and why?

Do you want to conduct a more quantitative type of content-analysis and look for frequently occurring themes?

Are you searching for salient antecedents, requirements, consequences, or success factors across the data?
