A literature thesis can be more than an overview of existing research. It’s an opportunity to engage critically with academic conversations and contribute to how we understand complex societal issues. A well-designed literature review can offer clarity where the field is still in flux.
Is This Support Right for You?
This service is intended for Bachelor’s and Master’s students working on a thesis based on a qualitative literature review. That includes
- narrative reviews with a systematic search strategy,
- scoping reviews.
The focus is on supporting projects that explore socially or societally relevant questions, often at the intersection of disciplines. Ambitious ideas are welcome. We can work together to turn them into a project with a scope and structure that is realistic and academically strong.
Balancing Methodological Clarity and Analytical Depth
While the search and selection process should be transparent and grounded in academic standards, these types of review do not follow the strict protocols of a full systematic review. Instead, the emphasis is on combining methodological transparancy with analytical depth. That includes:
- justifying how you build your corpus,
- how you engage with the literature, and
- how your thesis offers more than just a summary.
Different Ways to Approach Your Review
In some cases, that means mapping how a topic has been studied and where the gaps are. In others, the goal is more conceptual. Established theoretical frameworks can be readily available to structure your analysis. But Co-create with.me can also help how to borrow concepts from one field and applying them to another to help shape an emerging line of inquiry.
Help at Every Stage of the Journey
Support is available at any stage:
- refining your research aim,
- developing a structured search strategy,
- deciding how to select and organize sources, and
- shaping the narrative or argument of your thesis.
Whether you’re from a social sciences background or transitioning from a more technical or natural science field, guidance is available both for those who struggle with literature thesis writing and for those who are already familiar with it but seek to work more efficiently, avoid common pitfalls, or develop more ambitious, in-depth projects. We can explore togetherwhether Co-create with.me fits your project and how to make the most of your research process.
