  1. Guide to an engineering Ph.D. literature review Contemplating a literature review? Remember these sage tips from Ph.D. dissertation help guides. “What do researchers know? What do they not know? What has been researched and what has not been researched? Is the research reliable and trustworthy? Where are the gaps in the knowledge?

Integral citations (non-parenthetical citations) are those where the name of the cited author occurs in the citing sentence. Non-integral citations make reference to the author within parenthesis or through end or footnotes. Your ideas are the focal point of your writing; however, align your work with previous research to illustrate its relevance and gravity to the topic. © 2017-2018 All Rights Reserved, No part of this document should be modified/used without prior consent PhD Assistance INDIA: Nungambakkam, Chennai, 600 034.
