Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of the seminar is to develop advanced knowledge and practices for the application of the structured literature analysis method. Current practices (such as the PRISM scheme) are first taken into account and then analyzed using bibliometric methods from library and information science. Methodologically, individual readings, small group and plenary discussions as well as collegial comments will be conducted. To analyse the retrieved Papers, Text Data Mining Methods will be used.

Assessment and permitted materials

In the seminar you will
- write position papers about readings,
- develop a research question with special consideration of your PhD topic,
- write a methodologically sound, structured literature review on your chosen topic and
- give collegial comments on an essay of other students
