Workflow & Checklists
▶ Plan → Draft → Revise → Cite → Submit
- Plan: Define research question, scope, and outline (intro/method/results/discussion). Create a literature matrix.
- Draft: Topic sentences per paragraph; evidence + analysis; signposting and transitions.
- Revise: Structure check, redundancy removal, active/passive balance, hedging (e.g., "may", "suggests").
- Cite: Accurate in-text + reference list; check DOIs/URLs; ensure style consistency (APA 7).
- Submit: Final grammar pass, plagiarism check within policy, file format & naming conventions.
▶ Self-Editing Checklist
- Thesis is precise and arguable; each paragraph supports it.
- Claims are backed by sources; quotations are integrated and cited.
- Paragraphs have clear topic sentences and logical flow.
- No overuse of filler words; sentences vary in length; jargon minimized.
- Figures/tables titled and referenced in text.
▶ Literature Review Matrix (columns)
- Author & Year • Research Question • Methods • Sample • Key Findings • Limitations • Notes
