In the reading AW chapter 8 it talks about Reading and Writing in the Social Sciences. The first thing I am going to talk about is structure. Common elements that are found with structure are quantitative and qualitative studies. With quantitative studies the more quantitative the study is you are more likely to use the MRAD format. IMRAD format is Introduction, method, results and discussion. With introduction you want to give a brief overlap on what you did with the study. With methods are quantitative and qualitative studies. With results you just put all your results that were found in the study. Finally discussion. In the decision you talk about why you did the study and its impact on doing the study. Other elements found in structure are conclusions, titles, abstracts, acknowledgements, references, and appendices.  Common elements that are found with language are active and passive voice. Active voice is when someone is doing the action., In passive voice however someone is receiving the action. Also what is talked about in language is hedging. Hedging is when you want to make a point but not overstep the point. Common elements that are found with references are in text documentation. In text documentation is when you are making a reference for one of your sources in your paper. What is also found are summary and paraphrasing. After reading and writing a literature review you want to synthesize sources. What synthesizing sources is the process of identifying and describing the relationship between and among researchers. Another way to organize your sources is making a source synthesis chart. The author essay the source synthesis chart helps with visualizing areas that overlap in your sources. In the study what I find lacking in the information is the study is really not anything in my opinion it is all information that I am newly learning.
