This board is for discussing our readings on ethical issues in social research and on developing literature reviews.
Discussion 4 Answer
Two of the most crucial and important aspects or features of social science research, as well as any other research, are the literature review and ethical implications; these two create the foundations of research both in knowledge and ethical factors. Literature review is the fundamental review of the existing pool of knowledge regarding one’s topic and stated research questions. It guides both the researcher and the readers towards demonstrating “familiarity with a body of knowledge and establish credibility while learning from others and stimulate new ideas” (Neuman, 2020).
