Undertaking a Literature Review
Dr Christopher Hart, University of Chester
This session explored issues around doing a search and review of the literature for research proposals and subsequent research projects. It mapped out the different sources and resources which can be used to find relevant research, ideas and theories. The session also examined what makes for a competent review, occasionally stopping on the way to think about methodological assumptions and their consequences.

Writing and Publishing: why do we do it and how can we improve?
Professor Jerry Wellington, University of Sheffield
This session presented a range of thoughts on writing and publishing research and to consider:
- What is the value of writing? And what is difficult about doing it?
- Why do people write and publish? What puts them off?
- Who are we, or should we be, writing for?
- Different styles and approaches to writing
- What channels of communication are available for writing/ disseminating research? Who 'controls' these channels? (the notion of peer review)
- Are there any useful guidelines on how new researchers/ doctoral students/ anyone can successfully submit articles and papers to journals, contribute chapters to books, or approach publishers with book proposals?
