A key component of a research proposal is a review of the literature. You need to establish what is known and what is unknown about your chosen topic. Every CHOICE you make in the research project design needs to be supported by ‘grounding’ in the existent body of accepted knowledge, thus review and citations of the literature related to methods.

This interim project is an annotated bibliography of a minimum of ten (10) papers relating to your chosen topic, research question, and general methods you anticipate utilizing.
