Your 40 PDFs Aren’t a Literature Review (Sorry)

Описание: If your literature review currently looks like a folder system with feelings, you are not alone.

This video is about the shift that turns a working set into synthesis. Not more highlighting. Not better file naming. Structure.

You’ll learn a simple layering move that replaces “summary parade” writing with an actual map:
what pressures make the research exist (drivers)
what causal stories the field is telling (mechanisms)
where those mechanisms hold and where they don’t (context clusters)
what the methods allow you to claim (method clusters)

and how to map disagreement so it stops being “some say X, some say Y”

This is the move that makes writing possible because you stop staring at 40 unrelated PDFs and start writing from a structure you can defend.
