Very often students get confused of the large amount of the literature sources they have to read and analyze to write their dissertations, research papers or thesis. They do not know what to start with when writing their literature reviews and what authors to include into their literature reviews. So, a good piece of advice can help them a lot.

If you have to write your literature review but do not know what to start with, I suggest that you should start with looking through a thematic catalogue in your university library. They usually provide a good list of authors that can be useful to you.

If the information kept in your university library is not enough, you may go to the public library or use the internet online libraries. The internet has nearly everything that students may have a need in. Although, sometimes it happens that even the internet cannot help. In such cases you may apply to the dissertation Fellowships. They will help you by providing the financial help to realize the trip to another country and find the sources you need.

What are the main criteria of choosing the dissertation authors?

• The dissertation or thesis authors should be suggested by your supervisor. Your supervisor is an expert in the area you are investigating. That is why you would better follow his/her advice;
• The dissertation authors should be the ones who’s approaches and theories are easy to understand to you;
• The dissertation authors should be the ones who’s works are related to your topic. Let their works be not that much related, still, the ones that will help you anyhow disclose your thesis statement.
