I think readers will agree with me that we can find ten articles that have the key words we are looking for and end up using one or two out of those ten sources. As a first-time postgraduate student, I am learning and growing as I go. A good example for this is research conducted by Umoquit M. and et al, (2011) to test the use of multidisciplinary review using diagrams to collect data, in their research a collection of 2690 documents were collected and only 80 were used for analysis. So how I tackle this problem? I have three ways to locate and analyze literature, first method is to use advanced search options to narrow results.

Another use for concept map is allowing teacher to move from
