DESCRIPTION
PhD Literature Review Theoretical Framework is always found in the initial section of a dissertation, and it acts as the foundation for investigating a problem statement associated with your research. The theoretical framework is also considered as the conceptual structure that guides the research work. It acts as a background that supports your research and shows the reader that you have sound knowledge in the particular research area. It plays a significant part in proving the originality of the research problem. The theoretical framework plays a significant role in guiding the process of a research study. Ph.D. Assistance: Ph.D. Assistance serves as an external mentor to brainstorm your idea and translate that into research model. Hiring a mentor or tutor is common and therefore let your research committee known about the same. We do not offer any writing services without the involvement of the researcher.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION
Theoretical Framework of a Dissertation acts as a background that supportsyour research and shows the reader that you have relevant knowledge in theparticular research area. Your theoretical framework must prove how your
research fits into what is already known, i.e. It has to show how your researchcontributes to the field. It must be in the position to address your research
questions and methodology and helps you to prove your research problem.
In-Brief
PhD Literature Review Theoretical Framework isalways found in the initial section of a dissertation,and it acts as the foundation for investigating a problemstatement associated with your research.
The theoretical framework is also considered as theconceptual structure that guides the research work.
It acts as a background that supports your researchand shows the reader that you have sound knowledgein the particular research area.
Introduction
Contd..
It plays a significant part in proving the originality of the research problem.
The theoretical framework plays a significant role in guiding the process of aresearch study.
Theoretical Framework for Your Research aims at creating any theory is to define,predict and master phenomenon.
A theory generalizes the observations and contains interrelated, coherent set of ideasand models.
Contd..
The main purposes of formulating a theoretical Framework are, it helps theresearcher in clearly variables identification related to the research study.
It also offers them a general framework for data analysis.
It is essential to prepare research using descriptive and experimental methods whichare provided by a theoretical framework.
It conceptualizes the nature of your research problem and also shows the basis andanalysis you choose to investigate that problem.
This framework identifies the way you perceive, make sense of, and interpretnecessary data.
Contd..
The problem statement, research question andLiterature Review serves as the base for preparing aliterature review.
According to Maxwell" Building Theoretical Frameworkis not just a summarization of what has already existedin the field.
Instead, it as to ground the proposed study within therelevant previous work, so that it will give a clear senseto the reader that your theoretical approach to thephenomena that you offer to study" Maxwell emphasisthat the theoretical framework should serve thefollowing two purposes:
Challenges inPreparing theTheoreticalStudy
Contd..
1. You must prove how your research fits into what is already known
2. Has to show how your research contributes to the field. It must be in the position to address your research questions and methodology and helps you to prove your research problem.
In a PhD Dissertation theory is discussed andevaluated in the theoretical framework area.
The theories mentioned in this part must be related toyour research work.
Describing the key theories
Estimate and associate related theories andrepresentations
Describe the assumptions and expectations thatguide your project
The main goals of theoretical review framework are,
Lack ofAppropriateReferencesandResources
Contd..
Through this information, you are framing that your research is grounded in theestablished ideas.
This part of the dissertation lays the foundation which will support your analysis andallow you to interpret the result and their broader relevance's.
With the Help of Literature Review, you can identify how other researchers havedefined and drawn the connection between these key concepts.
The main aim of writing the theoretical framework is to compare and criticallyevaluate the approaches that various authors have proposed.
Contd..
After reviewing several models and theories, you can identify the best fit theory toyour research and can justify why it is so while handling complex research project;you can combine theories from various fields to create your unique framework.
Make sure that the mentioned important theories must relate to your key concepts.
Hence it is always necessary to identify reference paper which relevant to ourresearch, quality (relevancy) is more important than quantity.
References help in Identifying the Research Gapand also help in justifying your research work.
It shows the reader that you have relevantknowledge in that particular area of research, so itis essential to select a reference that relevant toyour area of research and always consider recentpublication as references maximum five yearsprevious publication.
Out-datedReferences
Contd..
Out-dated references your research work; there might be chances that the sameproblem statement you have identified already proven by someone recently.
References help the readers to identify and locate sources which are used tojustify the research area.
References must be accurate and complete.
It refers to the information which is already present insomeone else's files.
Because of legal requirements originally prepared reportsor research purposes are often kept as an internal record.
In general, the result of completed activities is not subject tochange and therefore, sometimes it is known as fixed data.
The Theoretical Framework is a combination of severalmodels and theories.
Lack ofReliableArchivalData
Contd..
One can identify the best fit theory to your research and can justify why it is sowhile handling complex research project; you can combine theories from variousfields to create your unique framework.
Lack of reliable archival data will leads to an inadequate theoretical framework.
Write a Theoretical Framework in a way that itcomprises the best theory that matches your researchand justifies why it is so or in some complex researchproject; you need to combine theories of differentwork.so while taking another person's idea to state yourresearch theory, you have to rephrase or rewrite itwithout getting plagiarism.
It shows the originality of the work that you have made.
A successful dissertation or Theoretical Framework inPhD Dissertation needs to have proper paraphrase,whether it is your explanation or interpretation ofanother person's ideas.
DifficultiesRelated tothe Qualityof Writing
While Developing Conceptual & TheoreticalFramework in PhD Dissertation careful attention mustbe paid while writing a theoretical framework since itacts as a background which supports research andshows the reader that you have sound knowledge in theparticular research area.
It plays an essential part in proving the originality of theresearch problem.
It also plays an indispensable role in guiding the processof a research study.
