Below you will find the instruction. I have also add my capstone project to help support.
2.6 Synthesis of
Literature
A literature synthesis occurs when the researcher combines, compares, and contrasts the
findings, theories, themes, gaps, and opinions found in the topical literature,
analyzes and evaluates the compared and contrasted literature, and draws new
conclusions from the analysis and evaluation. As you develop Section 2.6, you
will combine, compare, contrast, critically analyze, evaluate, and interpret
the literature on your topic and industry within your specialization to synthesize the literature. Questions to ask when conducting a
critical analysis:
• What is the context and background of the topic and problem?
• Do the authors of
the literature provide credible evidence?
• What are the
limitations of the authors’ research?
• Do the authors of
the literature constantly and consistently discuss their findings and conclusions, resulting in valid, trustworthy conclusions?
• Who is affected,
involved, and interested, and why?
• How, when, where,
and why does this problem or issue occur?
• What was the
progression of the problem or issue and why did the progression occur?
• What are the
implications resulting from the problem or issue?
• What can be learned from
evaluating the problem or issues
Expose the similarities and differences
between the literature authors’ opinions, findings, and theories. Compare and
contrast the literature authors’ opinions, findings, and theories, clearly
denoting who agrees with whom,
who built on the previous work of whom, who disagrees with whom, and who takes an alternative stance
to the industry norm or standard as related to your topic and problem.
[Cite at least five
articles or sources within the past 5 years; use a combination of scholarly and
